This isn't someone who' made a complete ass of himself when he got a chance to play @ Arizona. It's someone who we've seen make plays when he's in, including a touchdown and a crucial pass block.

I can't look at this and an already putrid run-game and say "Chris Evans would just make it worse".

I don't think that this is a talent issue. 

For example, remember when Evans was eating in the preseason?  Had some long runs that were called back due to holding?  Each of those holding calls were on Evans for not hitting the proper hole when it was there and putting the linemen in a bad position.  We know they dont trust him to pass protect.  Who knows about his route knowledge?  There have been whispers that he still has trouble with the playbook.

IMHO, this is a mental thing, there may be other issues such as work ethic or attitude we are unaware of, but talent-wise?  The kid is extremely athletic with great hands.
