drnykterstein Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Lee is 5'11" and 200#. He's certainly big enough to be a #1. 416845[/snapback] L.Coles with the Jets is 5"11 Peerless Price is 5"11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bill in Livonia Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I don't think that Evans is better that Moulds yet but he is close. They will have an easy time getting open because their abilities are so good. The decision of who to double cover will cause defensive problems. It seems like they should be a better tandem than the Moulds/ Price pairing was. GO BILLS!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I actually dont agree with the Santana Moss or Peerless Price comparisons..... - To me he is more like the speedster from the Carolina Panthers....they have that same "short but stocky" biuld - Even though the panthers receiver is a great....he still always had that "tall and physical" WR lined out across from him..... Moulds and Evans compliment each other well....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Evans is better, though Moulds remains my favorite player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Eric Moulds makes Evans a good reciever, Take away Moulds and you have Peerless Price in Atlanta. 416857[/snapback] Sir, I strenuously object. When Evans fumbles at inopportune times or jaws with an opposing cornerback for 30 yards as he escorts him into the end zone, then you can compare him to Peerless.

The Tomcat Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I've never thought Evans was a #1 receiver. He's a great #2 but #1??? Nope. Moulds makes him better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I have to believe that TD and company envision Evans as our future #1. I just cannot see them spending a mid-first round pick on a guy who would spend his career as a #2. That said, IMHO, there is no way we have seen enough of Evans to make any conclusive judgements. He played very, very well for a rookie last year. He looks even better in camp this year, and he is fortnuate that he is not being asked now to take over the top spot in just his second year. Working with Moulds, I believe he'll be able to hone his skills well enough that he could become a solid #1 next year if needed. But, again, I hope Moulds is around at least through the '06-'07 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got that from the scouting combine. Price is actually 1/8" shorter, and as I said, 20# lighter. Lee is also faster, has better hands, and has a MUCH better work ethic.

Legacy1906 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I dont know how anyone can say that after ONE year that Evans is better than Moulds. Again, let me reiterate that I like Evans and feel he has the POTENTIAL to be a very good to great receiver, but how can you say that he is better? This argument is either a statistical one or a talent one... Statistically...... Games - Rec - Yds - Avg - Ave/Game - TD's Moulds 16 88 1043 11.9 65.2 5 Evans 16 48 843 17.6 52.7 9 Moulds had the better statistical season of the two. He faced DOUBLE-TEAMS every game and made countless clutch catches. He was consistent in the fact that he caught passes in EACH game. Talent..... While I will never discount the talent that Evans has. He has not shown yet that he can or will make the clutch catch on a consistent basis. How many games over his career has Moulds made such catches? Moulds has shown the propensity to do everything that a receiver is asked to do very well. I know he drops balls.....all receivers do. We as Bills fans really cannot find fault in Moulds' career as a Bill. He has excelled in all aspects of the game....on and off the field. Will Evans do teh same? only time will tell, but right now...it isnt close..... Moulds is the best receiver we have...PERIOD...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Well, if defensive secondarys start doubling Evans this year we will have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jad1 Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Why the hell are we even debating this? Bulter/Lewis; Lofton/Reed; Moulds/Evans. A good possession and a good speed receiver. That's the goal. Buffalo has the combination again. That's what's important. Who cares which one is better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, as long as they both go over 1,000 yards - along with Willis' 2,000-yard rushing season, of course - I'll be happy.

I think you can get a better deal by drafting Evans -- meaning you'll get better production for him in the spot he'll likely go. I would think Moulds would go much earlier in most leagues, but I think their stats will be pretty close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John in VA Beach Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 When I see evans making catches I think of Lofton. I'm sure he can be a #1 in the league. I also think he and JP are building a good relationship. They know they have talent and are the future of the franchise. I bet JP looks for evans a lot this season. I expect Moulds and Evans to have a pretty similar number of catches with Evans getting more throws his way and more yards than Moulds. I'm not in any way saying I think evans is better, I just think JP will look for him a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ_BillsFan Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 This sounds eerily similiar to the question that was asked after Peerless Price had a great season. While I like Evans and the progress he is making as a WR.......LETS GET REAL....The reason why Evans is able to be in the position he is to make the plays that he does is BECAUSE OF MOULDS...... Moulds is the definition of a #1 receiver. He is CONSTANTLY double-teamed and still makes plays. I dont kow if Evans can face that kind of pressure and still make plays. He is a gifted receiver, but iit amazes me how quickly people overlook the contribution that Moulds being on the other side has on Evans. Peerless Price is a bust as a #1 receiver.....I dont know if Evans will be or not, but as long as Moulds is around he will enjoy single coverage and hopefully will continue to make plays...... 416404[/snapback] This is exactly right. Price thrived when he was the 2nd receiver and then he went to Atlanta to do squat! A number 2 receiver always does well with a dominating number 1. Even though Evans could probably start at number 1 in a year or two, his numbers will take a hit. Moulds allows the 2nd and 3rd receviers success. Remember when Moulds had a groin injury 2 years ago. He was not really able to play at 100%, but they kept him in there. He was used for a decoy. Teams had to respect him, so they covered him with their best guys.

BADOLBILZ Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 I still think Moulds is the top dog but that could change this year. 416354[/snapback] Evans is a better receiver than Moulds right now. From a sheer talent standpoint, he's, quicker, faster and has better hands than Moulds ever had and he's light years ahead of Moulds in terms of skill at the same point in their careers. Evans is no Peerless Price, he has a chance to be in the Torry Holt/Marvin Harrison category of receiver, which is to say much better than Moulds.

Black Panther Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Moulds is older, so he his slower, and may have been at the age Evans is at, But Moulds is a F'n STUD... He'll eat and crush db's alive en route to a rec. What I see from Evans is a leaner sprinter with good route running, breakaway speed and separation... but he can't manhandle DB's like our guy Eric.
