You did write it in capitals...big key to the whole thing in my opinion. I'm not sure Edwards has the ability to lead TO and that will become a problem.TO is in the twilight of his career and Lee Evans is highly talented but always limited by his QB play and offensive play calling I might...did **** Jauron suddenly implement a vertical passing game into his arsenal?
That's the real issue in all of this. IF the offensive play calling is opened up then I think it could be VERY dangerous. But Buffalo hasn't shown this type of offence since the glory days. This is where I'm actually hoping TO does his thing and convinces Jauron to open up the play calling...and I'm hoping he and the OC actually listen to him.
If the coaching staff doesn't listen to the siren call of the vertical passing game the next sound they hear will be NEXT as they advance their way through the unemployment line.
:X TO is one of the best WRs in the league at going over the middle. Not sure where you're coming from on that one. He's pretty much made his living taking slants over the middle.
will easily lead the league in drops
I disagree with all of those. Especially CJ/Coles.

Owens will be 36 in mid-season and is on the downside, Evans is Evans, he will catch 4-5 bombs a year that inflate his true value.The last two year Owens route running has been terrible and he just does not catch the ball like he used to, plus the fact that he was taking plays off when passes were not coming his way did not help.I am not sure Edwards will hold up to Owens antics and tantrums as well.
You have to add Driver/Jennings.... both had over 1,000 last year.

Right!Edit: Remember, it is 2009.
TO's problem is that he never developed the "craft" of being a WR. He relied on his physical strength and speed to get open and achieve YAC.KellysHeroes said:Owens will be 36 in mid-season and is on the downside, Evans is Evans, he will catch 4-5 bombs a year that inflate his true value.The last two year Owens route running has been terrible and he just does not catch the ball like he used to, plus the fact that he was taking plays off when passes were not coming his way did not help.

Sorry but this is the first time I have heard this. I am not talking about going over the middle 15+yards deep. I am talking about going over the middle like Wes Welker, Boldin, Driver and many more that are better than TO at this. I am talking about a possession receiver, TO is not a poccession WR!

Fitz/Boldin aGREEMoss/Welker No. I would take Evans over Welker any day; what they DO have is a better QB.AJ/Walter AJ, yes; Walter No; Combo? For this year I'll take TO and EvansHolmes/Ward No. Holmes is overrated based on SB and Ward is getting old.CJ/Coles For this year, yes.Wayne/Gonzo-2 No. Gonzo is way overrated.Marshall/Royal Maybe. Long term yes; this year? No.So, I would concede that Fitz and Boldin are by far the best combo (IF Boldin stays...) and that CJ and Coles maybe better. Evans and To are top three.
What Ted Ginn stats are you looking at that put him in the same league with Evans?
well his(Ginn) 2nd year stats are nearly identical to Evans. Evans/Ginn Stats aren't terribly different this year. Evans 1 good year was 3years ago and once put together with the rest of his career stats looks more like a fluke. they are both 1trick ponies, both have mediocre QB's. Lee however has a QB with a strong arm to push the ball downfield,Ginn has a a guy with the arm strength of a 12yr old girl tryin to throw deep to him.
Keshawn is no TO....TO has 9 1,000 plus yard season Keshawn has 4...TO has 8 seasons with 10 plus TD's Keshawn has one.....but then again Evans is no Steve Smith either
You REALLY overstate the similarity of Ginn and Evans and the numbers do NOT support your claim. Let me preface this by saying that I like Ginn and think he may become a good NFL player, but he has not shown close to what Evans has shown.1) As rookies, Evans had TWICE as many yards and 9 TDs to 2 TDs. That's not even close.
Forgot them.
