I would love to know what this article says. Eh. Evans cashes his check every week, seldom mixes it up and never puts his body at any risk to make a catch. He cruises on, pocketing the cash until he hangs it up and retires in comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ACor58 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Cheap Coaches, Cheap Owner, he gets F***ked. 10/2/2008: Signed a four-year, $37.25 million contract extension through 2012.

Another $3 million is available through incentives. 2010: $5.4 million (+ $3 million roster bonus), 2011-2012: $3.025 million (+ $1 million roster bonuses), 2013: Free Agent - yeah he sure is getting the shaft.

Why is it that neither had a big year? They were never open? Whatever, dude. We need the OL to block, a QB to throw the ball and coaches to call the right plays. When Bledsoe was in B-Lo Evans didn't have any trouble getting open did he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, like someone else said in this post, when you don't have any help around you and your quarterback play and offense line play are terrible, even the best players in the league can be average at best. You can put Jerry Rice in his prime on this team for the past 5 seasons and he is an average player-at best. What great receivers have had terrible quarterbacks throwing to them-None that I can think of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsWearPajamas Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Oh yeah, the Evans fanboys are out in full force making excuse after excuse after excuse. Better this, better that... Everything better but Evans. Can SOMEONE please turn down the dumb in here? It's really too much.... It's bad enough the team stinks but when the fans fall madly in love with mediocrity, it's just gone real dumb. Much like the 'give Brohm a chance' fanboys. Boy we loves us some losers don't we?? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA..... By the way, how much money does Megatron make compared to Lee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I could put Jerry Rice in his prime on a Bills' team, we'd be talking about how gritty, spot-on, and resourceful those quarterbacks were.

Truth is, Evans isn't a great number one reciever. But Evans is a better number one reciever than Edwards, fitz, brohm are at QBs. Evans actually has nfl talent. Our QBs should not be starting, period. But, they are all we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed - it take two to tangle. In the six years he has played - seven coming up - I never got the thought that he was the type to help out a QB or the team. I would have never re-upped his contract.

C.Biscuit97 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Lee Evans is off to the best start of any Bills receiver in franchise history. Moulds played with 2 pro bowl QB, Flutie & Bledsoe. Andre Reed (my favorite Bill ever) played with a HOFer. Evans hasn't played with a QB that has sniffed the pro bowl yet he has better numbers to start his career than both of those really good receivers. If you honestly hate on Evans, you're a moron.

And this board would have been fileld with Ralph is cheap after Evans left and became an annual pro bowler on a team with a real QB. Evans=Marvin Harrison/ Torry Holt without the QB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More unfortunate - offer a differing opinion on anything, and expect hateful accusation and/or insult. What a sniveling, thin-skinned, cry baby society we have these days.

Maybe not you in particular but Evans catches a ton of grief amongst Bills fan. He is a very good receiver who is being wasted because his position is so dependant on others. And because he's such a class guy who plays teh good soldier role. Any other receiver with his talent would have blown up a long time ago. I think we all look back at Evans' career with a lot of regret one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is a but four-act play that has been on the stage, untold thousands of times. Everything that is needed to be known about it happened a long time ago. After a while, you learn that you don't need to watch another one to draw some conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
