As the number one WR for our team, hes had 180 yds and 1 TD. How horrible is that? You cant argue, well hes getting double covered or any of that. Hes just not that good lately. People say TO stole our money when Evans is getting 9 million a year, and TO was getting 6 million. I dont even have to show you the stat comparison because everyone knows. David Nelson, Steve Johnson, and Roscoe Parrish, none of them are great, well yet (all have the ability, but to young to tell), but all have shown alot more that Evans. I think we need to find a way to trade Evans. As long as we get a 2nd round pick, or at least a player and 3rd round pick, player the caliber of a Troy Smith or Vernon Gholston, then we need to do it. Where at a stage where Evans has been by far the worst WR so far, and we need picks. Evans capability and past will make him great trade bait, and we need to take advantage of that. In my last mock I had us taking AJ Green, which especially with a loss of Evans, it will make sense. AJ Green is big, strong, and fast, Evans is just fast. Evans cannot be thrown to unless wide open, even Nelson and Johnson, and well even Parrish have shown the ability to go up and get the ball. Our team is set up with WRs that can do 2 things. 1, go up and get the ball, 2, run after catch. Were a quick strike team, which requires these 2 basic functions which Evans has yet to prove he can do. Parrish, Johnson, and Nelson have all proved they can make short throws into huge gains, Evans has not. Were rebuilding and those 3 WRs will be part of this rebuilding no matter what, either Evans needs to break out in the coming weeks, or hes gone. People will now argue, well he has different QBs so often. Well as a WR, your job is to run a route and make a catch. It doesnt matter who the QB is, a different QB doesnt mean you cant get seperation when Edwards is in rather than Fitz. Get open, if your open the ball will get to you, its that simple.
Lee Evans has been our worst WR

Re: Lee Evans has been our worst WR
so let me get this straight: you want a 2nd round pick, or a 3rd round pick and a player, for a guy who is our worst receiver and has a $9 million salary, after the Vikings just got Moss for a 3rd?
Yeah, that'll happen.

I explained this. Evans has had success in the past, he has alot of potential. Moss was an old WR and it was still a steal to get him for a 3rd for Min. Hes not built for our offense, which i also explained. If you read everything i said, i explained this already

Re: Lee Evans has been our worst WR
Originally posted by Extremebillsfan247Right, the OP spends half of the post for this thread ripping Evans talking about how bad of a receiver he is, then turns around and says we should get a 2nd or 3rd rounder via trade. lol hilarious.
I said as long as we do. Anything less no, but we should shop him. His history and his potential, and he is a named player, he can get a good pick for us. Roy Williams got traded for a 1st round pick and a 3rd round pick. Evans is younger, and had a much better past then Roy Williams. Look at these stats
Evans
1st- 843 yds, 9 TDs
2nd- 743 yds, 7 TDs
3rd- 1292 yds, 8 TDs
4th- 849, 5 TDs
5th- 1017, 3 TDs
6th- 612, 7 TDs
Williams
1st- 817, 8 TDs
2nd- 687, 8 TDs
3rd- 1310, 7 TDs
4th- 836, 5 TDs
5th- 520, 2 TDs
6th- 596, 7 TDs
Comparing these 2, Evans actually has had a better history, and younger. Wouldnt you say now that we may be able to get what Roy williams gave up, statistically and on paper, probably more?
Just noticed that there same age. The year that he got traded through me off
Career numbers
Williams- 4594, 40 TDs
Evans- 5537, 40 TDsLast edited by NextbillsQB; 10-13-2010, 11:43 AM.

Re: Lee Evans has been our worst WR
Originally posted by Extremebillsfan247I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with you. I'm just pointing out the literary contradiction of your statement. Here is why, if you think he isn't a very good receiver, or more importantly the Bills, or the rest of the league sees it as you do, what GM in his right mind would even give you a 2nd or 3rd for him?
We are not a down the field style team. If we keep Evans hes just going to continue to not get catches, and then hes not going to be any help to us, and his trade value will continue to go down. The WRs outside of Evans are perfect for our team, Evans is not.
