Figured I'd take a shot at what I said here too, in no particular order other than when the pop into my head, all these guys I'd say were better than Evans, even if they don't get into the HOF like him.... Jefferson, Chase, Kupp, Tyreek, Hopkins, Diggs, Lamb, Adams, Julio, Antonio Brown, AJ Brown, Amon Ra, are all guys that I'd 100% take over Evans. Then there are a bunch of guys that if we're talking about 1 season or game, I'd be torn on Evans vs others, such as Cooper, DK, Waddle, Puka, Keenan Allen, Michael Thomas, Odell, Hilton and I'm sure there are some others I might not be thinking of in that last decade time frame. But if I just said, "he's going to be better than Mike Evans" and leave it at that, you know everyone would call me crazy for predicting him to be a HOFer already, I view them as two different things. Like I said, Evans is a HOFer who was mostly a Top 12-15 type of guy for most of his career, I think T-Mac will spend plenty of years as a unanimous Top 10 guy and be in the Top 5 discussion. Will he have 10+ year sustained success and team success needed to make the HOF like Evans will, is impossible to predict and I wouldn't try to. -

I'd rather sign Cooper, Hopkins or Diggs off the street -
If you look at individual seasons, he's only had a couple where he could have been considered a Top 5, maybe even Top 10 WR, and that's no knock on him. You have an 11 year career where you have a couple seasons as a Top 5 WR and the rest as a Top 15ish guy, that's a hell of a career and puts you in the HOF, but I can probably easily name at least a dozen WRs over the last decade that I'd take over Evans if talking about a one game/season type of thing. I'm comparing T-Mac to Evans as a player in a vacuum, where I think he'll be better. But I'm not saying he'll have the better legacy/career because Evans was more of a very consistent very good WR than really ever a truly elite one. Case and point, he's a sure fire HOFer, who also has only been a 2nd team all pro twice. Which means the football writers only saw him and a Top 6 WR twice in his career. It's why I pointed out how it would be like comparing an RB to Frank Gore and being able to say they might be a better player, but not necessarily have a HOF career like him because that part is too dependent on other factors like health and longevity, which you can't predict.
