Does anybody think if we start off as bad as everybody predicts that lee evans would request a trade . He clearly is a great wr that is double teamed every play ,we have a bunch of qb 's that cant get the ball to him and we are a team that is clearly rebuilding . just saying does he want to waste the rest of his prime years in the bottem tear of the nfl. If so what could we get for him saying some one take his salery?Believe me i dont want him to go but it is what it is

Re: just throwing something out there
I think Evans is good but not great but then again he's never had a QB worth a **** so who knows. The most they'd get would be a 2nd or 3rd. I don't think he's getting traded. -
Re: just throwing something out there
I think Evans is better than his average stats suggest over his career. However, he's played on a sucky Bills team this long, even signing an extension with them. I don't think he's that egotistical, to be honest."Misguided political correctness tethers our intellects."

Re: just throwing something out there
I would trade Lee Evans if it meant getting a decent LT.
To some this might sound like cutting off an arm to get a leg, but after watching and playing football for 31 years, I am a firm believer that it all starts with the lines.
Build your lines first and then fill in the blanks.Comment

Re: just throwing something out there
Before we go getting crazy, let's see how Lee and Brohm work together.
Even in Brohm's lone start last season, he got the ball to Lee and T.O. way more than their average rec / game during that season.

Big Ben won a ring with the league's worst OL, and our LT just had a strong showing.Originally posted by ChristopherWalken
Football starts and ends with the QB, at least right now it does. Either you have someone who can take chances and make plays, or you don't. Peyton Manning hasn't had a premier LT protecting his blind side for a few years now. It's a playmaker league now. Insert a playmaker at QB onto our team, and Lee would be averaging 90 yds a game, and forced to respect the pass, the run game opens up.Last edited by JCBills; 08-15-2010, 10:07 AM.Comment

Re: just throwing something out there
Brohm won't be our starter.
Evans has talent which doesn't get showcased due to our lack of a real QB...makes me sad.

I agree. Lee could have had a spectacular career for us, if not for the clown parade at QB.Originally posted by shelbyShould have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

I forget who wrote it, but the comment on some site was that if Lee was playing in Indy he'd be on his way to Canton.Originally posted by Jan ReimersComment

Re: just throwing something out there
Lee Evans is unfortunately part of the problem. I find it funny how is mediocrity is blamed on the QB and offense but the QB's play is not linked to the worst o-line in football.
The truth is that Lee Evans is no Fitzgerald, and Edwards is no Favre.
We have no superstars on this team. Not one.Comment

What the hell was Tarik Glenn?Originally posted by JCBills
BTW, Evans has shown he is a primier deep threat, but he has never shown in his career the ability to work the middle of the field. Would he be better with the right QB? Sure, but that doesn't mean he would be in the HOF. I am not sure what he would be, but there is more to being a great WR than running deep routes.Last edited by Ickybaluky; 08-15-2010, 10:05 AM.Comment

Re: just throwing something out there
I'll re-phrase that then. Hasn't for the last few years, and he's been doing juuuuuust fine.Originally posted by NE39
Even then, the Big Ben, Eli Manning, and so on model holds true. You don't need an all-pro LT to win. I forget who put it together, but wasn't the average draft position of championship winning OLs like the 4th or 5th round?Last edited by JCBills; 08-15-2010, 10:08 AM.Comment

Re: just throwing something out there
Usually, LT are drafted high. Other than that, they are drafted all over. After Glenn was done, Indy traded their next year's first round pick to get Tony Ugoh. He couldn't hold up at LT and was moved to the right side, swapping positions with Charles Johnson. Jeff Saturday was undrafted, but is one of the best at his position and the guy that makes that Indy line run.Originally posted by JCBills
LT is a critical position, which is why they are drafted at premium positions. Look at the top LT in the NFL and they are usually high picks: Joe Thomas, Jake Long, Ryan Clady, Marcus McNeil, Jared Gaither or Michael Oher, Michael Roos, D.Brickashaw Ferguson, Jordan Gross. LT are hard to find, occasionally a team might get lucky and find one later, but that is rare. I don't see anyone on the Bills roster who qualifies. It is something they will have to address.Comment

Re: just throwing something out there
Yeah I know, but taking an early OT guarantees nothing. D'Brick was pretty much awful until his 3rd season. Gaither was a 5th rounder in the supp. draft. Eli won is with 5th rounder David Diehl. Warner came close with 3rd rounder and former Bill Mike Gandy.Originally posted by NE39
For every 1st round OT hit, there are usually 3-4 misses. The trend has also picked up in recent years, OTs have been the hot commodity in the 1st.
I see one person that qualifies, hopefully he can be consistent.Comment
