Mike Evans is staying with the buccaneers

St. Widge said

Maybe it's because I usually only watch the Bucs when the Saints play them and Lattimore owns him, but I have never been that impressed with Evans to see him as a 1st ballot HOF'er. He's a good WR, but I don't see him as one of the top few guys in his era. I can see him in if he has a few more great years, but I don't see him as a transcendent player in an era where every team seems to have a receiver in his range of talent.

He's not a transcendent player, I'd agree with that. He's never once led the league in any receiving category. He's likely to end his career in the Reggie Wayne category of statistics, and that's borderline Hall of Fame without question though -- and who knows, he's just now 31. He might still get even more than Wayne.

It's worth noting Evans certainly did it with many different QBs too, from Josh McCown to Jameis to Fitzpatrick to Brady to Baker. He's been consistently good with any QB, which does say something as well. He's also been extremely healthy overall, and you could count on him to be there week in and week out.

He's been worth every penny and the draft capital the Bucs spent on him, even if not transcendent necessarily. If he was a Saints player, we'd love him. But he's not, and Lattimore has owned him, so we love that fact instead.
