The only difference is, Johnson is one of the best RBs in the league and he is paid down at the bottom. Peters is one of the worst LTs in the league and is paid like he is one of the best. Stats don't lie.

There were alot of so called "experts" who criticized him at the time of drafting Manning because they just knew that Ryan Leaf would be the better pro. Polian is the best GM in the league and has been for over 2 decades, hands down. He has won Executive of the Year awards with three different organizations. He took an expansion team and had them in the conference championship game in what, their second season. Not only did Ralph fire Polian, he then chased his successors (namely John Butler) out of town, who then went to San Diego and built a winner there. Ralph deserves alot of credit for what he did years ago, but over the past 18 years or so he has been one of the worst owners in the NFL, and anyone with common sense cannot argue that. He has really only ever hired one head coach who was successful before he got here (Chuck Knox) and he didn't want to stay past once his contract expired, namely because he knew that he wasn't going to be able to win here. Sure he hired Levy, but he really had no success before he got here. Ralph has pretty much gone the cheap route with head coaches since he has been here, and that has translated into one of the most losing franchises since the NFL/AFL merger.

I think that $12 is over two seasons, not per year. Considering that they are only paying him about a half a million this year, and if they think he is going to be that good it isn't that bad a deal really. He is happy, they are happy, so they can start building for the present and the future, wouldn't that be nice if we could do that here?

I guess that blows DarthICE's theory out of the water doesn't it? I am not sure anyone "hates" Ralph, alot of people think that he is no longer capable of being a good owner in the current NFL, which after seeing the past decade, is very understandable.

he isn't my boy and the orginators post said nothing about money, just that Furrey was a better receiver and that is ridiculous.

Of course there have been so many Chinese players drafted in the past, oh wait, Wang was the first.

Football must be something new to you I would think. Furrey has had one decent year, in that year he caught 12 more passes than Lee Evans and had about 200 less yards. Over their careers, Furrey has averaged 10.4 yards per catch, while Evans has averaged 15.8 yards per catch, more than 50% more than Furrey. Evans is not the little dink and dunk receiver who piles up catches but not the yards to go with them. If you want a player that had one good year, you can probably get Scott Mitchell to fix all of our QB needs too.

That played a big part in alot of juniors coming out that normally wouldn't have also. Most likely the last chance for a rookie to get a huge payday with no rookie salary cap.

There were no quotation marks in my post, so I wasn't quoting anyone, I was actually agreeing with you.

Shouldn't be too hard to upgrade, my guess is it is going to be a little tougher for them to sell tix this year with the down economy and poor projection for this terrible team.

Not only did they not move a player who doesn't want to be here, is one strike away from an entire season suspension, has a bad attitude and whose play has diminished over the past few seasons, they have signed free agent RBs after drafting Spiller. This new regime has yet to show anyone they know what they are doing.

Actually on ESPN's coverage at the end of day one of the draft, I believe it was Gruden who said he felt sorry for Spiller because he was drafted by Buffalo, where they he won't be able to reach his potential and use all his abilities. If one person says something, you can say it is personal or lack of knowledge, or whatever you want, but where there is smoke there is usually fire. With everywhere you read saying pretty much the same thing, there is a good chance that there might be some truth to it, all we can do is hope otherwise.

First off, the AFC East is a divison not a conference, and if you look at the time of the turnaround, it wasn't the toughest division in the NFL, maybe even the worst (Buffalo 7-9, Jets 4-12, Miami 1-15 in 2007) as everyone but the Pats were below average .500. We all are hoping for a turn around like that, but in reality we don't have the owner, front office, coaches or roster for a last to first turn around in one season.

If not winning 9 games gets a coach fired, why do the Bills sign any coaches for more than one season? We would have a new coach every single season. This team is a few years off from even dreaming of a nine win season.

This is way above optimism, you really need a check up. The Bills can make the playoffs and Roseanne Barr could be the next Miss America too.

Do you mean Lynch isn't a "FAN" of the Buffalo Bills? So he doesn't care about his performance or the team's performance, he must go! (Sarcasm intended)

Don't confuse frustration, disappointment and disgust for pessimism.

Who ever it was that took Brohm is gone now, otherwise it is bad news. The only option the Bills have for 2010 is Edwards as sad as that is.

Nix also said that Lynch wasn't on the trade block, and everyone this side of the moon knows that isn't true. There are alot of smokescreens in the NFL, especially around draft time, and no team likes to feel like they have been outdone by another team.

I kinda agree, the McGahee pick was what really got this organization spiraling downward in a hurry. Spending your first round pick on a guy that you knew wasn't going to play for at least a year, if ever. Not to mention getting had in front of the whole sportsworld, with McGahee talking to his agent on the phone and the Bills falling for the hoax that he was talking to other teams. The team lost alot of credibility as well as class and character, which was why the first thing Levy did when he took over was to ship him out of town as fast as possible, unfortuneatly he replaced him with Lynch who isn't much better. I am not sold on this new front office, but really hoping they can turn this around, and sooner than later as all Bills fans deserve better than what they have been getting. I am to skeptical to say that they are going to fix things, I am going to wait and see, since I have been burned too many times in the past.

Jim Kelly and/or Joe Montana would have sucked behind this offensive line. If any line ever was "Offensive" it is this one.

Are you related to some of the people who have been running this organization for the past decade? You sure seem about as clueless as they did.

If what you propose is the quarterback depth, and it won't be, we might as well sign the top pick of the 2011 draft now. Edwards will be the starter, he is the only one with even a slight chance of succeeding out of this dismal group. If Gailey goes in the season with the 3 QBs on the roster that you stated, he should be fired before he starts, not to mention that there might be more people on the sidelines than in the stands at the Ralph.

Sounds more like a description of Rob Johnson not Trent Edwards. Edwards spent the entire off season last year in Buffalo working out, that doesn't sound like he was bolting out at 4:58.

So your saying because Edwards doesn't consider himself a fan, he doesn't give a sh*t about the outcome of the game or even his performance? That is ridiculous. An athlete doesn't get as far as he has without wanting to win and being a competitor. Jim Kelly was a Steelers fan his entire life, how did that translate to playing in Buffalo? A place where he didn't even want to be, so he bolted to the USFL for the sole purpose of avoiding Buffalo. So yes it is an insignificant subject.
