TecmoSuperJoe Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Numbers wise, what he's done his first five seasons is pretty impressive. Even for this era. Already has 40 touchdowns, has gone over 1000 yards every year, and has over 6000 receiving yards to this point. He's been pretty healthy as well, not missing much time. He's only 25 now, and will have just turned 26 at the start of the 2019 season. Personally, I think he's been fringe 10 ten the majority of his career, but never yet in the conversation for best in the NFL in any year, which is a huge knock. Still, numbers wise, it's a remarkable pace thus far. But HOF pace? What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I don't think he's on the HOF pace. He isn't in the conversation for top 5 WR's and may never get there at this point. He might deserve it, but the Hall of Fame is usually reserved for dudes that are considered top 5 players at their position in their era. I don't think Evans will ever get there, especially with that idiot throwing him passes in TB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danger Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 Bucs should trade him to a team like the Eagles. We'll give them Nick Foles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom cody Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's a good 1 but I don't think he's on a Hall of Fame pace yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Ramster Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 He's the type of player you'll forget about. Because he's never been a dominant force. Isn't really talked about and his team sucks. He's no Megatron to be talked as a All time great on a ish team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calvert28 Posted February 3, 2019 Share Posted February 3, 2019 I would love for the Bucs to trade him to Dallas. No way Dak over throws this guy the way he does everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAF-N72EX Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 I'm glad people on this forum don't get to vote on the HoF. It would be like Opera in here..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iknowcool Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 (edited) I'm not seeing it. I expect down the road, we'll see a lot more WRs with great numbers being passed on if they aren't bringing anything else with it. Evans is obviously good, and the numbers are there, but he's simply not on the level of Beckham, Brown, Julio, etc. I'd say his situation is similar to Chad Johnson. Johnson had a 6 year stretch where he averaged 1330 yards and 8 touchdowns. But like Evans isn't on the level of the aforementioned names, Johnson was a step (or five) behind guys like Moss, Owens, Harrison, etc. Considering Johnson was/is a lot more memorable than Evans, albeit for his antics (which I loved but I guess isn't for everypne), and doesn't get any Hall of Fame talk, I don't see why Evans would. Only difference is at Evans age, he will probably finish with even better career numbers but that's gonna be the case for a lot of WRs soon.

Chargers Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 If he continues this pace over a longer period of time he'll get in. There's something to be said about be that good over a ridiculous long period of time regardless if you're a top 5 WR or the 8th best one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patriotsheatyan Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 (edited) People don’t understand the concept of pace or that he’s 25. He was drafted when he was 20. Most players are 21-23 when drafted. There are players out there people don’t think of as HoF talent that made the HoF because of longevity, and consistently good players that missed that if given two extra prime seasons (like Evans has the potential to have) would have narrowly made it. If you take Hines Ward, Chad Johnson, Anquon Boldin, Edgerine James, Matt Forte, level careers and add two extra prime seasons, a lot of those guys would have made it. With regards to Evans, IDK. If he has five more years like his first five and then slowly declines for five years he just might make it depending on how other high end receivers of his generation finish.

Soko Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Nah. Never been an elite receiver or really even in the conversation to push those top guys. Maybe that changes at some point, but it hasn’t happened yet. Evans is a very good receiver, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnCena Posted December 22, 2020 Share Posted December 22, 2020 (edited) He has 11 touchdown this year could finish with another (7 straight) 1000 yard seasons, I think he's definitely on pace. Especially now that he's playing with Brady and the teams actually good. Next year with Brady will be even better. He has 8000+ yards at 15.5 YPC, and 59 touchdowns and he's only 27.
