Kelly the Dog Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) I don't think the point for a lot of fans is to actually bring back Evans. The point is, it seemed that a huge portion of the fans on this board and others said we don't need or want Evans when he was traded. Gailey doesn't need a smallish fast guy like Evans. Stevie doesn't need a Evans on the other side he can get open and downfield himself. And now one year later we draft a guy who basically does what Evans did before he got hurt on the Bills and eventually traded. We needed an Evans guy last year and didn't have one. We need one this year and hope we have one in Graham. The real key or perhaps better, X Factor, on the Bills WR corps will be Easley. If he can play the #2, and Graham can be just another interchangeable weapon, albeit a very, very fast one, amongst SJ, Easley, Nelson, Chandler, Freddy, CJ and Brad Smith, we're going to have a dynamic offense. If Easley flames out or gets hurt again (I do not think he is "injury prone" at all), then Graham will be forced to make teams pay a little too early and a much greater pressure will be put on him, and we will still lack the big fast guy we're missing. I'm looking forward to seeing how this plays out. The better Easley is, the better Graham is going to be to me.

DrDawkinstein Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 I am actually really glad that the only thing people can complain about with this draft, is our 3rd round pick and how he should be an inch taller. This is "The Post" of the entire draft weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prissythecat Posted April 30, 2012 Share Posted April 30, 2012 Back in 2007, we "had to have" a "big tall WR, a red zone target" So we drafted the most unnatural pass catcher ive seen in a bills uni, James Hardy. He looked like he never caught a football in his life and dropped many 50/50 balls besides being a stiff running routes. Desean Jackson was also taken in that draft and look how the undersized speed guy has turned out. None of the other big tall WR's from that draft panned out. Sweed, thomas, kelly etc. Just saying its funny how when we had 3 small speed guys (Evans, Price, Parrish) we had to have the big guy. Now that we have 3 big guys (SJ, Easley, Nelson) we have to have the small speed guy....SO WHY THE F did we not resign evans then? We took lofton with more miles on him when we needed a speed guy and I just know were gonna have a game where we go deep for the winning td and graham drops it, knowing evans would have made the catch.(cue baltimore drop here) I know evans wasnt the best underneath but we needed a deep guy that can catch, a specialist on the backside in 3 and 4 wr sets. I have an SUV and a sports car, I never complain that my sports car cant go offroad and that my SUV doesnt go very fast. Its nice to have both and not expect the same things from one as the other. Instead this year with our third pick we take......a deep threat , speed guy, with the same measurables as Evans but with 0 experience and suspect hands. BTW I thought Gaileys offense didnt "need" a small fast WR??? I would have loved to have taken another LB or O lineman with our third. We basically traded evans for graham( i know we got a fourth ) but this is his replacement so lets watch this year and see who has more production. Blaine Gabbert and Lee Evans will be an awesome combination I take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserlovers Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 (edited) Evans is gone dude, accept it. Graham is now a Bill, and it does not hurt to root for the kid. It almost sounds as if you want the kid to fail. Am I wrong? im not against graham, i hope hes awesome, my point is that it was said we "had" to cut evans because he was "too fast for chans system" and lost a step etc etc. this boards for exchanging opinions, none of us are really making personel decisions...and I see last years cut as something dumb that cost us games when our WR's went down. We also could have saved this years third had we not cut evans. im really just pointing out how evans being cut was over money, nothing else. If not, we wouldnt be drafting a guy with his skill set Oh and to those who mock evans stats last year, 4-74 in a playoff game...how is that any different from SJ's "revis ownage game" where SJ had 5-75 and also had a game losing drop? So for evans its a failure but for SJ its his claim to fame? the good thing is we can all vote and see who was right at the end of the season, if I could i would put money on it...takers?

I think I understand now. You make pulling for Graham sound pretty complicated though. Good luck on being right at the end of the season even though it sounds like it will make you unhappy.
