“I Have A Different Outlook On How Long I Want To Play Now”

January 22nd, 2022

Will Bucs fans enjoy another 10 years of Mike Evans?

How about 12?

The best receiver in Buccaneers history is 28 years old and was telling NBC Sports this week that Tom Brady has taught him so much. Evans was asked to choose what he’s learned most from The Goat and he went right to body maintenance and then dropped encouraging words to his fans.

“I have a different outlook on how long I want to play now,” Evans said.

Joe is nodding with a smile. This could be part of Brady’s lasting legacy in Tampa.

Imagine if Brady counseling Evans in the area of diet and fitness leads to Evans getting more prime years out of his body. That would be as good as dropping bags of gold at One Buc Palace.

Larry Fitzgerald gave the Cardinals 17 seasons at wide receiver in his Hall of Fame career. Joe could see Evans going at least that distance.


Buccaneers legend Derrick Brooks and Sage of Tampa Bay Sports Ira Kaufman fire up another edition of TAMPA TWO. Another fun production from The Identity Tampa Bay and Joe.

    Evans seems to be more banged up far more frequently than Fitz ever was, who was also more of a physical brute that really adjusted well to life in the slot. Evans doesn’t have that body type. I’d be shocked if he could last four more seasons as a top shelf WR.

  2. Swampbuc Says:

    Mike is playing stronger and faster right now than he has at this stage of the season – maybe ever. I love the “want-to.”

  3. BillyBucco Says:

    Can you imagine doubling up his stats

    16 straight years and 150+ TDs.

    Could be the best WR in NFL history

    That would mean we are freaking out over the GOAT only having the GOAT and the GOAT.

    Can’t believe there are some idiots who don’t like Mike Evans…….the guy is a total pro…..beast, consistent superstar. One of the greatest Bucs.

  5. Walter Says:

    Future HoFer Mike Evans, making Texas proud!

  6. Buc1987 Says:

    Maybe if Evans goes to the Patriots I’ll find a blog about them and post there pretending I’m a Pats fan like some idiot does on our site.

    Go Bucs!

  7. Dew Says:

    Hell the starting Left Tackle for the Rams is 40. He’s not playing tomorrow but he played all season. That opens up a whole new possibility going forward for teams.

  8. SPARKY Says:

    Maybe Tom still throwing him the ball 12 years from now? And what? Maybe 4-5 more super bowls.

  9. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Buc1987, good point, Evan’s never said he was staying a Buc.

  10. Buccos Says:

    Listnfrmafar-
    You never played football in your life. You were always the last one picked in any game at school. You still live in your mothers basement and you are unemployed for the past few years. Does any of this ring true for you? You are nothing but a troll. Move on loser!

  11. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Buccos, here is some facts for you whether you believe them or not. I played D1 football in a program everyone in the country is familiar with. Coached many years ( no not at the NFL level). Built 3 companies, 2 of which I sold and the 3rd I still run and finally if I wanted to not work another day in my life. Oh and to ALL you liberal freeloaders I pay extremely more than my fair share if taxes. Any more questions?

    @ Listn. Or not…. You are full of $hit

    “I played D1 football in a program everyone in the country is familiar with. Coached many years ( no not at the NFL level).” Bwaaaahaaaahahahaaaa! If you did you would declare what program and provide details. You played XBox NCAA football in 2001.

    “Built 3 companies, 2 of which I sold and the 3rd I still run and finally if I wanted to not work another day in my life.”

    Sure. That’s why you feel compelled to justify yourself to total strangers anonymously on a football forum.

    “Oh and to ALL you liberal freeloaders I pay extremely more than my fair share if taxes. Any more questions?”

    And now you know everyone criticizing you is a liberal freeloader? How about this — if any of what you said is true, then you must have serious cognitive mental health problems, otherwise your crap wouldn’t be so totally stupid.

  14. Buccos Says:

    Buying a Lawn Boy self propelled mower does not count as “building a company”. I can’t wait for the Bucs to curbstomp the Lambs tommorrow. You are going to look like a complete idiot!

  15. Proud Bucs Fan Says:

    Once cheater Brady retires, look for ME13 to look for a trade to an Organization with a very good QB and a plan!

  16. Buccos Says:

    Another H O M O

  17. BuccaneerScotty Says:

    we have a very good Qb plan with Kyle

  18. Listnfrmafar Says:

    Swamparse, don’t we all. It’s a shame you don’t have any accomplishments you can share. Oh, good point. If you are NOT a liberal freeloader please disregard my last post. Liberal is fine, it’s the freeloader that irks me.

  19. Goatwatcher Says:

    What is the problem? Listnfrmafar hasn’t said anything objectionable. He’s not trolling by expressing his pov. Better stick to the game and lay off personal attacks.

    “Cheater Brady”? That is a fantasy cooked up by Goodell and a lot of jealous owners, and parroted by loser fans that Brady has sent home crying over the years.

  20. Buccos Says:

    Goatwatcher-
    Apparently you do not read much of this site because this guy is a complete troll. He is definitely not a Bucs fan and you probably aren’t either. Sorry we stole your teams QB. But you guys have Mac Jones though. He is the 2nd coming right. And you just called them loser fans which seems like a personal attack to me. So you can leave too!

  21. Crickett Baker Says:

    I think you are all forgetting how Mike played about 5 years before TB ever came to the Bucs. He won’t be going anywhere else any time soon. He knows what it’s like to be on a losing AND a winning team, now. BTW, IDL personal assaults on here either. I think you all should attack facts–not character.

  22. SPARKY Says:

    Why don’t you guys exchange cell phone #’s and text each other your crap so the rest of us don’t have to go through 50 post to read the 10 post that are about football. I’m sure this ain’t what the Joe’s have in mind when they put this out for us.

  23. Mike C Says:

    Wow pat fans are salty now that they suck.

  24. Buczilla Says:

    If Mike plays another nine years, he will have some silly numbers man.

  25. Tony Says:

    We need to keep Brady & Gronkowski around anyway possible. Even if we keep them on the coaching staff or in the front office because both of them really have helped change everything. Either way both of them should still come back because both of them are still playing well. I could see retiring if you were starting to slow down or if you were playing like crap but they’re still playing fine.

  26. Bucs Win Says:

    ME 13 is the best offensive player we’ve ever drafted. He’s going to the HOF one day.

  27. Jose Says:

    55 is just too much smart,Bengals, Niners, Big Wow

  28. Swampbuc Says:

    Ok Listhrsfckngidiot, here are my accomplishments.

    – walked on the moon
    – scuba dived through the titanic
    – saved 34 puppies from drowning
    – delayed global warming by a century
    – resolved to never be so insecure as to make crap up about myself and post it on a football blog

    lol. Please stop. As great as Mike Evans is he is no where near the greatest WR in NFL history. I don’t even have to say the name………………………
