Mike Evans Understands His Greatness

September 6th, 2024

Mike Evans is no chest-pounding gloater, but he let a little bit of that cocky side of him slip out to media yesterday.

“…When I’m feeling really, really good, I’m definitely one of the best to ever do it,” Evans said.

“So, it’s just trying to focus on that, just feeling good all of the time, and then when the balls come my way – focusing even more.”

The fun part off that for Joe was Evans wasn’t asked about where he ranks among all-time greats or to reflect on his career. The question was how Evans feels he can improve this season.

His focus is on health. Rightfully so. It’s not just about staying on the field; it’s about feeling great on the field and not dragging to the finish line, which hopefully is 20 games away.

On Sunday, Evans gets a weaker-than-most secondary from Washington, and maybe (just maybe) a Bucs run game that helps open more up for the team’s greatest-ever receiver.

    Joe, we are moving you from the 53-man roster to the practice squad due to your poor performance. Your website has 2024 schedule in the banner, but it shows the 2023 schedule.

    WTH! Buffalo Bill this early in the morning. I wasn’t ready for that. It’s cool that you admire Mike, but let’s not make a skin suit out of him.

    Mike has a history of going off on the Commanders and he has played against Dan Quinn’s defense a bunch during his time in ATL. It would be awesome to see a 150 yard 2 TD day from the future HOFer.

    Jaime Gumb is in the house.

    It put the lotion on its skin.

    Say it right.

    Throw the rock all over the yard, Liam!

    No doubt, Mike Evans will be a future Hall of Famer. He’s only adding onto his legacy.

    What’s as impressive to me as Mike’s yardage is that he got those numbers with a WIDE variety of QB’s from the GOAT to Mayfield to Glennon to Fameis to McCown didn’t matter! ME just goes out and does his job.

  11. Dave Pear Says:

    Yes, spbf, Mike always does his job whether with the GOAT or an actual goat playing QB.

    It’s about time HOFamer ME13 tooted his own horn just a little bit! He, LVD, and WillG stuck it out on some really putrid Bucs teams. Now, he’s feeling good and sporting a SB ring. DC better be ready cos class act Mike and posse are going to put up some Central FL fireworks (here’s hoping). Go Bucs!!

  13. Beeej Says:

    Well, it would be nice to NOT drop uncontested TD passes

  14. Bucsfanman Says:

    C’mon Beeej! He’s still human.

    Mike is a HOFer right now! Imagine amassing another1,000 yards and adding some more bling?!

  15. Biff Barker Says:

    Most consistent Buccaneer HOF!

    @A Bucs Fan

    I just checked. Evans has averaged 121.5 YPG against the WFT/Commanders. Best against any franchise. This should be good
