Howard Simon had a great topic on GR this morning. He asked "How do we feel about the Bills' 'Big Three' skilled position players? Can they win a Super Bowl with Edwards, Lynch and Evans?" (maybe not this year but at some point in the future)
Are we all comfortable with Edwards at the helm? Is Lynch the the kind of back that can carry you to victory in January when you absolutely have to run the ball? Is Lee Evans a bona fide #1 Wide Receiver in this league?
I would be very interested to hear what people have to say about these guys.
I think at this point Lee Evans would be my biggest question mark out of the "Big Three". (with Lynch a close second only because of this O-line's ability, or lack thereof to run block)
Lee is obviously a big play threat but he lacks consistency and tends to disappear in the big moments. Now I love the guy as a teammate and the way he's handled his contract situation this year is the epitome of professionalism. But if they take away that deep ball so goes Lee and that to me is still very unsettling. I thought when the year started and he was all over the field in that Seattle game it would be different, and maybe it will be when Hardy gets fully up to speed, I really hope so. I know he's important to this offense and really want him to get paid but he is a 1A type of receiver, not the beast in all aspects of the game that you would expect from a true #1. Where is he when that big 3rd down reception needs to be made, the ball finds it's way to other guys in those situations (namely Josh Reed). I want to see more consistency out of Evans if this team wants to win the big game in February.
