Bills M-V-P? No Question, It's Lee

It came as no surprise that Super-Charger LaDainian Tomlinson won the MVP. If they did the voting team-by-team, who would be the Bills MVP? While punter Brian Moorman, Aaron Schobel, and London Fletcher-Baker all had decent seasons, imagine where the Bills offense would have been without Lee Evans. My Bills vote goes to #83.

Statistically, Evans was one of the best in the league this season: sixth most yards at 1,292, coming on 82 receptions and he scored eight touchdowns. He led the league in yards per reception at 15.8, just edging out Chad Johnson. Two 83-yard receptions in Houston showed the league that he is the best deep threat in football today. if you want to argue Johnson, Owens, or Wayne are better deep-threats, go ahead. Those receivers also have quality #2 receivers on the opposite side. Evans, playing opposite Peerless Price or Josh Reed, often faced double-teams. And he still beat them. Hopefully you had Evans on your fantasy team.

It's not yet Kelly-to-Reed, but Losman-to-Evans is going to be a fun tandem for years to come.
