    What are we going to do post-Owens?

    At this point, lets say 80% Owens is gone. Who's the #2, or arguably #1?

    1. Hardy?
    2. Johnson?
    3. High round rookie? (Another non-LB/OL/QB pick)
    4. FA? (WHO?)
    5. Reed/Parrish/Jenkins/Peerless Price?
    6. Byrd?

      We are ****ed. I know our line/QB suck but Evans is not a #1 WR. He isn't even a factor in the games...

        Great post. Consider it case closed guys.

        Here's a new question, Tpyo: HOW do we plan to get better?

        It definitely seems that we are going to have to allocate something significant on WR that will again take away from addressing other positions that are needs now.

          Lee Evans would be a top 10 WR on a team like the Eagles or the Saints or anyone with a GOOD passing game

            Gee, I don't know. Perhaps having a guy, any guy, on the field that will play hard on every play will help to get better. Maybe someone that doesn't drop so many balls. Seriously, with a good QB TO is going to work harder and he's a weapon. With us he's a waste of time and general team killer IMO. We would be better if we replaced him with Roscoe Parrish.

              He wouldn't even be a starter.

                I strongly disagree with this statement.
                Evans has talent that this team fails to take advantage of

                  This is another example of the Bills leading the league in "potential." Both Hardy and Steve Johnson have a lot of potential, but neither have done **** yet. And this is Josh Reed's contract year.

                  It looks like we're going to have to find a WR in the draft.

                    Evans would have 1000 yards a season in Philly or NE, easy.

                      I agree that with an elite QB Evans would be a solid receiver. He has great footwork, runs great routes, and has dependable hands when its accurately thrown.

                      However, he'll never be a TOP TOP WR to me, because he lacks any physicality to his game. I've never seen him break a tackle, or run after the catch barring the standard over the top fly route.

                      He's definately a starter, definatley good, i want him on my team, but he is not the complete pro bowl type receiver we'd hoped he'd become.

                        On either of those teams he'd be the 3rd or 4th option.

                        He's not getting to 1000 with not many looks.

                          Maybe if he was the only guy there. But just plop him down on those teams and he's down on the depth chart. Sorry, he's just not that good.

                            I don't think Owens will leave.

                            At his age, he has lost some of his negotiating advantage. Some of his previous behaviours will count heavily against him.

                            The Bills will be able to offer him as much as anyone else and I think Owens will stand pat until he finds out who the Head Coach is and what that persons plans are.

                            Having seen the Rams go from a 4-12 team in 1998 to winning the SuperBowl in 1999 and having seen the turnrounds that Miami and Atlanta accomplished with a new GM and Coach between 2007 and 2008, Owens is intelligent enough not to leap before he has had a good look at all of his options, one of which includes staying.

                              Go get a cheap vet as a fallback option, in case Steve Johnson isn't ready. Hardy looks stictly to be a 3rd down/red zone player, with his injury history.

                              Don't waste a draft pick on WR. We need front 7 on D and OL.
