Big Turk Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 when healthy, i'd rather have rodgers than edwards no thanks, I'll pass... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsintaiwan Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 i think there is zero basis for wanting rodgers over edwards. the "cold weather" theory is silly since rodgers hasn't played in cold weather and edwards had to play in a steve fairchild offense. december is about running the ball and the great bills teams always ran the ball well.

ganesh Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Great stat from ESPN: 1. Trent Edwards BUF 25/30 261 1 0 168 164 390 Edwards came off a concussion and was successful (50 percent of needed yardage or more) on every single first down. Edwards was 10-of-10 on first down for 124 yards, six first downs and a touchdown. When you get 5+ yards on 1st down, it allows you to do play action on 2nd down and also keeps the drive alive with manageable 3rd downs..... ESPN Linky Another interesting snippett Even a veteran like Kansas City TE Tony Gonzalez showed that he had something to play for -- pride -- as his teammates gave up around him and laughed off another loss.

QB Bills Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 jennings and/or driver better than evans??? are you guys serious?? you could make a better case of rodgers over edwards (which is almost as asinine) i'm constantly amazed at why so many people sell lee short - luckily the front office didn't Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Evans, but Jennings is just as good. Here are the stats for their careers Jennings: 3.97 catches per game, 65.8 ypg, 16.6 ypc, .56 tds per game Evans: 3.67 catches per game, 60.7 ypg, 16.5 ypc, .46 tds per game Jennings is better is every major statistical category, so to say Evans is so much better and that its not even close is absurd. Personally, I love Evans, but to say he is hands down better than Jennings is just rediculous. Jennings does nothing buy make plays and get open. He is also a threat for the big play and has great instincts and hands. They are both great players...and the point in question was which Duo was better...Jennings/Driver or Evans/Reed...given the equality of Evans and Jennings, you really have to compare Driver and Reed...this is hands down Driver. I like Reed, but Driver has been a true #1 most of his career while Reed struggles to stay in the lineup and wasnt even a certainty to make the roster cuts this year.

Evans was a product of a not-so effective Offensive Coordinator, and even this year does not receive many catches. Jennings benefited of a pass-happy Favre who tried his best to pile on stats to what he thought was the end his career. If Evans spent his career with GB, you wouldn't be able to compare the stats. I agree with the other poster, why do you keep selling Evans short? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with the other poster, why do you keep selling Evans short? Thats just it, how am I selling Evans short? I never sold Evans short, not one time, I love Evans and I am glad we locked him up long term. That being said, currently Evans is not the best WR in football, he is arguably top 10 or 15 with potential to be amongst the Elite. Jennings is right there with him. Thats my whole point...the other posters are trying to say Evans far exceeds Jennings. I said I love Evans and think hes a great WR...that doesnt mean Jennings cant be a great WR too...just because Jennings isnt a Bill doesnt mean he isnt a top WR. The guy can flat out play and if you ever watch the games, he gets seperation better than Lee and always seems open. Lee's game is different, doesnt make him worse or better. I said in ever post they are about even. And Evans numbers wouldnt have been much better there as Driver was the #1 there when Farve was there and mainly they have depth and spread the ball around. Plus Jennings missed a chunk of the season with an injury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh BTW your forgetting to mention Evans has had to deal with below average quarterbacking with Jp Losman.You put Favre on the Bills and Evans would be a All-Pro reciever no doubt about it.Put Jp Losman on the Packers and watch as Greg Jennings stats go over the cliff as Lee had to endure.
