Do not forget that Gettis relied heavily on his speed, which much of the young talent at WR have. I think we will be OK. It's not like we are going 4-5 WR set all season.

no, but we'll be have 2 WR's on the field in many scenarios, I'm sure. And since, Gettis was probably going to be the #2 guy, losing him for the season adds more uncertainty to an already uncertain group of WR's. I'm not sure why some people are against aquiring a proven guy like Evans.

I wouldn't mind Evans, but, I would rather have a tall receiver like Gettis. Honestly, if he didn't come with all of the baggage, Randy Moss would be the perfect type of player.

Tall, lanky, fast, runs the vertical route with perfection... We don't need someone to put into the slot, we don't need a physical receiver, we don't need someone to open up the middle of the field, we need a guy who can outrun DBs down the field, throw his arm up into the air, and catch anything thrown near him in the end zone.

All I can say is that in camp AE, Clowney, and Pilares have shown flashes of being able to be a solid WR on our team. And Naanee was brought in. And we still have Lafell in the background.

With all of those guys vying for the #2 spot, someone will be able to fill that void. And with a 2 WR set we would most likely have 2 TE's in, who would also be able to spread the defense, allowing Smitty to have a better chance in making plays.

Add in the fact that a 2 WR set can run the ball effectively, as well as having a RB as a potential receiver, I just don't see the need to bring in Evans.

edit:

I agree with this:

Randy Moss type of player? There has only been one Randy Moss. Guy was a freak.

I know Randy Moss is one of a kind, but there are players that mimic his style of play. David Gettis, for example. Tall, lanky, fast. Runs vertical, not across the middle.

Larry Fitzgerald is the same type of player.

I'm not saying that they are Randy Moss, just someone who plays like him. Or, you know, him.

I have a hard time comparing any receiver to Randy Moss, but I see what you are trying to say. I just want a receiver who can consistently get open and catch the ball. I don't care if he's 5'5 or 7ft. I question the ability of the WR's on our roster(Smitty aside), to do this.

I'm not saying we NEED Evans, just that I want him. I don't need a Ferrari, but it would sure as hell be nice.

I said I was not going to post anything on here and just on my twitter, but I was actually texted without asking that Marty Hurney is on the phone with Buffalo as we speak. I know many will not believe this, but this is what I was texted less than an hour ago.

It's NJPanther guys....
