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....

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      If Canales comes back and Bryce doesn’t I would probably prefer to bring in 3 guys he likes from around the league or maybe outside a top ten pick and work through them, give that a shot. Because if we win a few more games we won’t be in the running for the top rated QB prospects anyway.

      There’s too many to reply to so I’ll just say a couple more things then I’m out: 1. It hasn’t been both ways and that’s the point. People saying stuff like “too bad Bryce Young didn’t make that tackle” is a direct result of the ridiculousness of blaming Bryce Young for literally everything. I remember one game day thread a poster unironically blamed Bryce Young for JT Sanders flipping onto his own neck and injuring himself. That post was pied. I literally just read a post blaming Bryce Young for XL dropping a ball on a would-be game winning drive last year. This past week, when Tmac bounced a ball off his hands for an interception, Bryce Young was immediately blamed in the game day thread. Alternatively, people who try to give credit to Bryce Young are immediately told that to credit Bryce Young is taking away credit from Rico Dowdle, OL, whoever, and that they shouldn’t be talking positively about Bryce Young because he doesn’t deserve any credit. 2. Yes, there have always been bad posters, the difference is that back then they were largely derided. Bryce Young’s rookie season, when many of us were simply pointing at the train wreck of the whole team and saying it was maybe a little tough to evaluate Bryce Young when he had no time to throw and slow receivers, and just saying basic stuff like “Bryce Young can physically throw the ball further than 20 yards.” There was an attempt made to limit all those opinions to a single thread, by a mod. This is like saying lunatics running the asylum is normal because there have always been lunatics in the asylum. The difference is before they were patients, now they’re in charge. 3. I know for a fact I am labeled as one of the “Bryce Stans” by many of the usual suspects, but the fact of the matter is they have no idea what my position is on Bryce Young because any attempts at nuanced discussion in the past have been so completely pointless due to never being able to get past the hyperbole. How can we have a serious conversation if you insist he is physically incapable of throwing a football 20 yards? Or if you insist that he somehow duped the Panthers into drafting him just by drinking water? Or if you insist that he should be able to succeed behind one of the worst offensive lines I’ve ever seen (rookie year, not now). And I’m not the only one, there are many who have left the huddle because of it and started a discord server, I’m just too lazy for another app.
