There are guys on every team that aren't starting material but they fill critical roles. Evans is still going to fill an important role.

No, unless he's capable of playing.
Obviously
if he's capable of playing at this level, he can start in a pinch. If he can't start in a pinch, what capable role could he fill? That's basically just saying that he's only effective when he spends more time off the field than on it. That's not showing any confidence in the guys' abilities.
I think Evans has proven more than enough in limited time to warrant a longer look, but looks like we're going to have none of that here.
