Best quarterbacks in Las Vegas Raiders History: 14. Vince Evans

  • Overall Record with Raiders: 2-5

  • 75.4 passer rating

Was Vince Evans a star for the Raiders? Of course not. Did he win many games or bring some sort of added value to the franchise? Not really. What Evans did do, though, was provide the team with a quality backup for eight years.

There’s a lot to say for having a good backup. While that may ring truer for today’s NFL, it’s always been a point of emphasis no matter the decade. Evans was exactly that, backing up players such as Jeff Hostetler and Marc Wilson.

Even before he landed with the Raiders, Evans was a solid quarterback for the Chicago Bears. He also spent a couple of years in the USFL, which extended his professional football career to a total of 20 seasons.

Not many folks will know who he is, and that’s perfectly understandable. However, when you consider the value he brought as a decent backup, he deserves to be on this list–it’s not like the Raiders have had a ton of star quarterbacks in their history anyway.
