You LSU fans sure are trying hard to convince yourselves of that.

I seriously doubt this, if for no other reason than Evans has a higher ceiling. Realize he has only been playing football for about 5 years and is still learning the position. He has insane physical gifts with his size, speed, and leaping ability. If he can get better at running routes (which can be learned), good luck stopping him. OBJ is incredible but in the end he is still a 5'11 WR that has good but not elite speed. He runs great routes and has incredible hands but I don't know how much better he can get because he is already polished. He's not going to get bigger or faster.
Evans has some natural advantages with his size and athleticism that can't be taught. He has a significant physical advantage on any defender that covers him, often being half a foot and 40-50lbs heavier than them but still able to leap over 37". He can shake off tacklers like swatting a fly if they don't wrap up properly. Most of what he has done this year is off of that sheer physical advantage. If he can continue to refine his routes he is right there with Dez Bryant and Megatron among the most difficult to defend WR's in the game.
