Ghost of Rob Johnson Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 How so? They could use that contract money to sign 3 starters I would think. Three starters for $4 Million? Are they all undrafted rookies?
vincec Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 trading or dumpin evans sets the franchise back even more How will they ever replace his production!
High Mark Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Im not the other teams D coordinator, but if I was, I wouldnt bother doubling Lee and I would triple cover Stevie. I doubt they still bracket Lee, he simply doesnt deserve it - at all. Just give him a good cushion and watch out for the Fly pattern. If they want to throw it to him on a short route then fine, jsut tackle him - he never makes anyone miss.
San-O Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Three starters for $4 Million? Are they all undrafted rookies? I thought Evans contract was for like $8.5 Mil or something like that?
Special K Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Just saw something that says Evans could be out for the rest of the season because of the ankle injury. Sounds like Chan is happy with what he has and doesn't need Evans anymore. This way, Evans can go from being "figuratively" invisible on the field to "literally" invisible on the field.
San-O Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 Three starters for $4 Million? Are they all undrafted rookies? My bad, he's already got most of the money: $8.4 Mil total for 2010 however. http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_contract.aspx?sport=NFL&id=26
Sisyphean Bills Posted December 12, 2010 Posted December 12, 2010 This way, Evans can go from being "figuratively" invisible on the field to "literally" invisible on the field. The trouble with invisible players is that you never know when they aren't there.
McBeane Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Shouldn't your number 1 receiver be more than a decoy? Do you not understand the term "team sport"?
Dr. Trooth Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Trade Evans; draft a QB in the 1st round; follow it up with another RB; then CB. Bam! just fixed the team. What planet have you been on dude? Take a look at the last six 1st rd. pix the Bills have made (except for Wood). Any of em done much for ya lately? You trust the Bills with a 1st rd. pick?

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Do you not understand the term "team sport"? Seriously? Everyteam spends money on a #1WR. They expect a certain level of production. You can't afford to pay someone a lot of money at that position and get 40 catches.
flmike Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 We should keep him, but a #1 receiver makes big plays and scores touchdowns. I'm pretty sure other teams' #1 receivers find a way to do this when double covered.
Jerry Jabber Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Enough of making up excuses for Evans. This year and part of last year, he's had a QB that can spread the ball, plus a #2 WR to take pressure off of him, but Evans is still underproducing.

You can't afford to pay someone a lot of money at that position and get 40 catches. I'll agree that he hasn't performed as well as his contract says he should. No one can really argue that. But what he does for this offense is huge. I'm beating a dead horse here, but the simple fact that he demands a corner and safety over-top because of his speed opens up a lot of room for the other receivers to get open. Trading him (I don't believe you said to trade him, so not directed towards you) sets this franchise back and only creates another need for a WR.
JPS Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 quite possibly the most ignorant post of all time...just ridiculous really +1. Amazing that these people never get tired of Lee Evans posts.
jumbalaya Posted December 13, 2010 Author Posted December 13, 2010 There was a huge difference without him, actually. It was definitely a lot tougher for Fitz to get the ball moving without Evans opening up the field for him. I really don't understand the "Cut Evans" nonsense. Somebody please explain to me what Evans brings to the game other than the oft-posted ridiculous comment that he gets double teamed and opens the game up for everyone else because that is not true. Evans sucks, and the sooner the team and the fans recognize that we can all get on with our lives. He is not a #1. He is not a #2. He is hard pressed to be called a #3. I'd much prefer Namaan.
loserlovers Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 well why havent we cut all our tight ends and spiller too by the way? they havent produced all year, oh ya, because football players dont call their own plays, I forgot again. posting anti evans is a smart as the hundreds of people who still wanted edwards to start, how smart are those people?
ExWNYer Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 Notice any difference in the Bills offense without this overpaid wash-up in the game? I sure didn't. Good Lord... quite possibly the most ignorant post of all time...just ridiculous really There was a huge difference without him, actually. It was definitely a lot tougher for Fitz to get the ball moving without Evans opening up the field for him. I really don't understand the "Cut Evans" nonsense. Amen.
PromoTheRobot Posted December 13, 2010 Posted December 13, 2010 This forum makes me laugh. You don't get any better by cutting and trading your best players. You also think stevie can draw double coverage?? Come on now stop the Lee Evans hate he is by far one of our most talented players. Welcome to TBD for the latest fan kneejerk reactions. PTR
