/dev/null Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Steve Smith dominates games from time to time, and he's smaller than Evans. True, he's smaller than Evans. But he's also better than Evans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Larry Fitzgerald is almost certainly the best WR in the league right now. In good circumstances, Evans is a solid, Pro Bowl kind of WR, but he's not #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbotymyboty Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Steve Smith dominates games from time to time, and he's smaller than Evans. How about Santana Moss? I think this is the realm of comparisom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmo6824 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Steve Smith dominates games from time to time, and he's smaller than Evans. Steve Smith has more heart than evans. The way Smith goes after a ball. He believes everytime its in the air, its his. You wont see that from evens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 True, he's smaller than Evans. But he's also better than Evans That was my point. Evans isn't less effective than Fitzgerald because he's shorter...he's just not on the same tier as a WR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tcali Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Steve Smith dominates games from time to time, and he's smaller than Evans. true...--but as has been said..he is maybethe best WR in the game. One thing though--I dont think Evans has had a really good QB to work with yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldnt say Fitz is better than Steve Smith...altho I would say they are both better than TO right now because of TOs advanced age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lofton80 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Evans has talent but he is not a go to guy on third down. He runs the down and out and the streak quite well. Never really seen him in the middle of the field do much. Fitz is dynamite right now very Rice like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evans is a good #2. Nothing more. Just another strategic "core-player" signing by the FO. His deal is the only thing he has comparble to Fitzgerald-regarding football. In 1-2 years his money will look more like a contract given to Schobel, Kelsay,ky,buttlicker, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 dominate a game like Fitzgerald did??I don't think so. He's too small. Put Evans on Philly, AZ, NE, etc and he is a top 5 WR in this league in terms of stats and would probably be comparable on that level...however, he will not ever dominate a game like Fitz becuse they play two different games. Fitz muscles his guy, man handles the D, out leaps the D, and is almost uncoverable. He is the best WR in football, and Andre Johnson and Anquan Bolding are probably #2 and #3 right behind him...both of them are also fast, big, physical recievers who can beat you on route running, on the deep ball, and even when jammed. How S. Smith, R. Moss, and S. Moss dominate games is more comparable to what Evans could do in a better passing offense. I would rank the WR's in the league like this (and I know this is debateable, but just my opinnion): 1 Fitz 2 AJ 3 Boldin 4 S. Smith 5 R. Moss 6 Jennings 7 Wayne 8 Welker 9 Calvin Johnson (although he probably moves up this list next year) 10 Housh Honestly, once you get past the top 4 its gets really debateable...but I think the top 4 are pretty much the best WR's in football.

Dan Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 dominate a game like Fitzgerald did??I don't think so. He's too small. Fitz now has more yards receiving in one postseason than any other WR, breaking Rice's record. So, in all fairness, I'm not sure any WR in the league could dominate a game like he did today. In fact, you could say that no WR in the history of the league has done what Fitz has done over the last 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wont see that from evens. That's because the ball is fluttering around in a 4 MPH wind and never gets near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennings/Wayne/Welker above Calvin Johnson is insane after the year he had with the QB's he had. Otherwise I don't have a problem with that - Fitz, AJ, Smith, Moss, and Calvin are almost interchangeable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 There's at least a chance that Andre Johnson is an NFL-caliber QB away from being the best WR in NFL history, yet we may never know. Calvin Johnson, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 How about Santana Moss? I think this is the realm of comparisom. Santana Moss and Lee Evans are the same...They dominate a game once in a while and then completely disappear from most of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Senator Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 That's because the ball is fluttering around in a 4 MPH wind and never gets near him. I don't understand why people think our QB should be able to throw in those conditions I would like to see a rundown of all other NFL QB's stats in 4 MPH wind.
