Cause I could be here all day talking about back-ups who just needed a chance.

My point is every single year a back-up or an unknown player comes in and shocks everyone. Derek Anderson is another the perfect example.

Brodie Croyle came in for Damon Huard. Andrew Walter came in for the Raiders a couple of years ago. Cedric Benson came in after the Thomas Jones trade. Gus Frerotte came in for Marc Bulger. Josh Beck came in for Cleo Lemon. Need I go on?

I'm not saying Evans couldn't have done anything, but let's not get carried away and act like every back up who stepped into a starting role became an All-Pro.
