Doc Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 And here I thought this was going to be another Jason Peters thread.
Jerry Christ Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I didnt say that he only has value when catches TD passes. Thats a strretch.Of coourse he has value. Of course he makes the team better. I just think that 10 mil should = dominant player..thats all you fail leave
Fezmid Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 yes i agree with you. but i just think for 10 mil/yr we should be getting more I've never understood this argument. Do you pay his salary from your own pocket? If we cut Evans today to save the $10M, would we be able to get a better replacement player? The answer to both of those is NO, so who gives a frak?
stevestojan Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 Can you please place a value on his performance today? $8 million? $1 million? $45,000? I'd judge it as $9.1456 Million.
Simon Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 agreed..I also wonder why these ppl are so worried about how much a player makes.. Agreed. I've always thought it was an odd thing to be going on about when you're watching football. Interestingly enough it usually comes from folks who pay less attention to what actually happens on teh field, than to whatever axe it is they have to grind.
bobblehead Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 I'll get flames for this, whatever. It would sure be nice to see Lee fight for a ball now and then. There was one somewhat shortly thrown pass early that lee dropped, thinking how it just made me appreciate L Fitzgerald even more: Larry would have punched that DB's grandmother to walk off the field with that ball.

I'm not gonna flame you for that. Criticism like that, or comments like I saw from R. Rich about Evans' subpar route-running, are actual observations about the football game and thus have nothing in common with the OP of this thread.

Well they eat up salary space and fans, like myself, wonder what other talent we could have other than the money he got. He realistically is worth about $4 mil a year and I said so before he signed that extension and justified his bloated contract. I would rather have paid him $4 mil or let him walk and pay for a guy like Boldin in a trade when he wanted out or a great TE as this offense is geared for a great TE rather than a decent #2 like Evans. He should have caught that TD pass he missed today. Good receivers get that pass, great ones just get it, and mediocre ones sometimes do and sometimes don't.

That's funny because I don't remember all that many folks beside myself saying the Bills had grossly overpaid him. Either way, when exactly do you let it go and pay attention to the game instead? Or would you just rather talk about his contract for the remaining life of it? We should have a finance board for folks like that.
Doc Posted September 21, 2009 Posted September 21, 2009 And if the Bills had let Evans walk, it would have been "the Bills are cheap and don't re-sign their players."
