First Choice: Troy Smith (from Baltimore) Second Choice: Donovan McNabb

TO had 55 rec, 829 yds, 5 rec TDs and 1 rush TD, plus he had at least 20 drops or more. I think Marshall would have had at least 1000 yards with us considering the circumstances. Besides last year, what else has been the reasons for Evans? Face it, he's an undersized #1 WR, he can't consistently shake the double teams and his stats prove that. One week, Evans will put up great numbers, then will have 2, 3 or 4 more weeks of putting up numbers of 40, 50 yards a game. People always point the finger to the QB, well it works both ways, you need a WR that can consistently catch and consistently get open.

I forgot the Bills of the early 90's were model citizen's as well (sarcasm). That's as far as I got through your childish post.

I'd rather have a guy, who for the past 3 years has had over 100 receptions and over 1000 yards receiving. I like Lee Evans, he makes some really awesome plays, but they're too few and far between. Yes, everyone can point the finger at the QB situation and the O-line, but great receivers can get the job done regardless and Marshall has shown that this past year with Orton. IMO, Evans is a #2 receiver.

I guess Bledsoe wasn't a good QB?! In winter games like that, is the reason why you need big physical linemen, running backs and wide receivers to overpower the defense, which was my whole point to referencing the Cleveland game.

Someone else that gets it too. It seems like everyone is in love with Evans and will use every excuse in the book to state why he hasn't had the success that other top WR's in the league have had.

It's okay!! You're right, the QB & OT positions need to be addressed.

And look at what he did in 2007?

Thank you!!!!! Evans would be a great #2 receiver to a bigger, more physical WR, like how Price was to Moulds, but some people are so blind to see that. Once receivers like Evans and Price lose their speed, they're done.

Up until Trent got creamed against Adrian Wilson, Trent was hitting Evans with passes of 40+ yards or more. Even with JP, Evans was not getting consistent numbers every week. As far as snow goes, I guess you forgot about the Blizzard game in Cleveland where we lost 8-0 and we still had a chance to make the playoffs going into that game. What's your comeback gonna be on that one, "It wasn't played in Buffalo!?" Marshall has had 3 seasons in a row where he had 100 receptions or more, we need a guy like that can consistently make the catches and get first downs.

Yes, Evans has not had a QB since Bledsoe, but Orton is not a good QB and Marshall had 100+ receptions. You can't throw the ball deep everytime you go for a pass, especially in the weather Buffalo gets, so Marshall would be better suited for the Buffalo winter weather due to his size. The snow takes away the speed factor from guys like Evans & Parrish. I think Evans would do much better for a team that plays in a dome or in warm weather climates than he does in the winter elements in Buffalo. I'm not knocking Evans, he's a class act and a good WR, but I just don't think he's the right guy for us.

No problem, liverlips!!

Hey Sherlock, that's the purpose of a chat room, so people can discuss ideas. I read the trade for Vick discussions and I don't agree with them, but it's interesting to hear someone's point of view. If you don't like people's ideas for trades, then don't read them.

I just hope that we get another home playoff game soon. I will definitely buy tickets and travel up from VA to go to the game. I really miss the home playoff games.

We all know that "The Dick" screwed things up this past offseason. They should have kept Walker at RT and drafted Oher to man the LT position. Instead, we draft a one year college wonder in Aaron Maybin. I like the picks for Wood & Levitre (hope Wood recovers), plus I like the Incognito signing (hope he gets resigned). It doesn't matter who our QB is if he doesn't have the line in front of him. So I hope Nix & company make a priority to fill the holes on the O-line.

Exactly, McDaniels should have been fired after he screwed things up with Cutler. How do you bench your top WR & TE, while battling for the final wild card spot?!

I forgot, Kyle Orton was considered a top NFL QB in Chicago. And Jay Cutler looked really good in Chicago this year (sarcasm).

I'm sure there are teams that think Evans could really help their offense (depends on who they already have on their offense). Look at Housmanzadeh (don't know if that's spelled right), he's getting $14 million a year. We traded trash (McGahee) for two 3rd rounders and a 7th, so a lot of it has to go on reputation as well. My point to the whole thread was trading Evans for Marshall.

Wow, I guess people can't read? I said trade EVANS for MARSHALL How is trading Evans for Marshall leaving any holes? Here are the stats for Evans and Marshall: Evans stats 2009: 44 Rec, 612 yds, 7 TDs 2008: 63 Rec, 1017 yds, 3 TDs 2007: 55 Rec, 849 yds, 5 TDs 2006: 82 Rec, 1292 yds, 8 TDs 2005: 48 Rec, 743 yds, 7 TDs 2004: 48 Rec, 843 yds, 9 TDs Marshall's stats: 2009: 101 Rec, 1120 yds, 10 TDs 2008: 104 Rec, 1265 yds, 6 TDs 2007: 102 Rec, 1325 yds, 7 TDs 2006: 20 Rec, 309 yds, 2 TDs It's clear that Marshall can produce consistently. Even with the Broncos going from Cutler to Orton, Marshall's numbers didn't drop off much. I'd much rather have Marshall than Evans.

If we can trade Marshall for Evans, you wouldn't do it? Obviously, Marshall is not happy and Evans is regarded as a top WR in the league.

I bet you think we should keep the current Tampa 2 defense as well?

Here's Evans stats 2009: 44 Rec, 612 yds, 7 TDs 2008: 63 Rec, 1017 yds, 3 TDs 2007: 55 Rec, 849 yds, 5 TDs 2006: 82 Rec, 1292 yds, 8 TDs 2005: 48 Rec, 743 yds, 7 TDs 2004: 48 Rec, 843 yds, 9 TDs I'm sorry, but you don't pay someone $9+ million a year for 44 Receptions and 612 yards. I would much rather have Brandon Marshall anyday over Lee Evans. IMO, the only coach who knew how to properly use Evans was Mularkey. Mularkey had Evans lined up all over the field to get him open. I'm not saying Evans is a bad player, but he's definitely not worth the money he's getting. I'd rather see the Bills go with a bigger, more physical WR in Marshall than Evans. Yes, our QB's have sucked, but Orton is no better and look at the numbers Marshall had with him.

Schobel says he wants to play closer to home, plus he has the 2nd highest salary on the team and is getting older. He did have a rebound season, but can he keep it up and how will the transition to the 3-4 affect his game? I'd say try and make a trade with Houston or Dallas, that way he can be close to home. Since we're transitioning to a new defense and basically are rebuilding this team, I'd rather go with a younger, faster guy that will be around longer than Schobel. (Just my opinion) Evans has not been able to put up consistent numbers since he's been here. One week, he'll have over 100 yards receiving, then followed by 2, 3 or 4 games where he's lucky to put up 40 to 50 yards. You don't pay a guy $9+ million a year to be a #2 receiver. Granted, we haven't had solid play at QB, but Evans is a short, speedy WR, once the speed is gone, they're not that useful (look at Peerless Price). Plus, in bad weather/snowy games, the snow takes away the speed, so you should go with a big physical WR. I'd like to see the Bills trade Evans for Brandon Marshall, Marshall is not happy in Denver and would be a upgrade over Evans. As a matter of fact, they should trade or cut loose Parrish as well. We have James Hardy & Stevie Johnson on the team, and we haven't been able to get a good look at those guys, so if the Bills decided to turn the page on Reed & Parrish, I would have no problem with that.

Now that 'The Dick' is gone, I think we will finally have a draft where 4 to 5 picks aren't spent on the secondary every year.

He didn't mention about bringing in a solid Tackle (either via FA or draft). Even if we get McNabb, he'll won't last the season unless the holes on the O-line are fixed.
