Well let's see. Last year, Lee Evans ranked #61 in receiving yards, and #88 in catches. In contrast, there were 10 tight ends, and 1 running back that gained more reception yardage. 18 tight ends caught more passes, and 11 running backs caught more passes. The year before, he was #33 in receptions, and #19 in yardage. Great year. Only 5 TEs had more catches. Unfortunately, tied for 61st in TDs. In 2007, he was 45th in the league in receptions, and 32nd in yardage. 36th in touchdowns. As for his salary, Evans' cap number was $ 6,577,182 last year. For the 61st/88th best receiver in terms of yardage and catches. That is the 14th highest salary for a receiver, by the way. "But wait! This isn't fair!", I hear you saying. "He doesn't have a quarterback!" Here is a sampling of some other pass catchers that out gained Lee Evans last year. Brandon Marshall T.J. Houshmandzadeh Vernon Davis Kellen Winslow Devone Bess Santana Moss Calvin Johnson Zach Miller Steve Smith (Carolina version) Mike Sims-Walker And the list goes on and on. Some need a good quarterback, some seem not to. Don't get me wrong, I think Lee Evans is a very good NFL caliber player on a team with few NFL caliber players. But let us not kid ourselves thinking that he is somehow Jerry Rice trapped in crappy Buffalo. He is good, not great. And got himself a very, very rich contract for relatively little productivity. Could he be better with a better quarterback, on a better team, in a better system? Absolutely. Is he an elite receiver in the NFL? Hardly. The numbers speak for themselves.

Do you, clown, just disagree with people who disagree with people on this wall for the thrill, or are you really this pathetically bored???

And yet still our best player and likely only Pro Bowler is the punter. Wish we were one of those teams that has a half dozen or more Pro Bowl-caliber players.

Pretty amusingly hypocritical that you took such offense to the word 'clown' being disparaging, and then went on a rambling diatribe about how I live in mommy's basement eating pb&j and have no clue about the real world. Stay classy, San Diego. But yes, you are a dummy apologist for a terrible franchise, run by a terrible owner. We all love the Bills, but come on. By any objective measure, Ralph Wilson has been one of, if not the biggest, failures as owner of an NFL team. He has gotten rich beyond any of our wildest imaginations, and will be doing everything in his power to protect that wealth. Good for him, I'd do the same thing. That does not change the fact that save for one flukey run (orchestrated by a man that he ran out of town afterwards, bringing the team right back to its old form), the Buffalo Bills have been the lovable losers of the NFL and the butt of countless jokes. He is a penny-pinching miser, never ready to pay top dollar for top NFL coaching talent. He believes that luck is a bigger factor in the perennial failure of his teams than the caliber of the staff and players. He consistently votes with the "lunatic fringe" of NFL owners, despite being on the collective bargaining gravy train. He shipped away a good number of our home games, games that actually matter in the NFL standings, to a city that didn't even want them (for money). What other NFL team would willfully forfeit their home-field advantage for cash money? Year in and year out we sit back while other teams in the NFL work tirelessly to better themselves through free agency. We've even started to ACCEPT the fact that we'll never bring in any proven NFL stars to help win games. Ralph even invented a new phrase - cash to the cap - to define a brand new concept in player salary savings. But yet we deify the old codger because deep down we are all so scared that we'll lose the Bills. Deep down we know that Buffalo is a third-tier city that somehow luckboxed a NFL franchise. So we'd better not make any ripples, or else the old man will take his ball and go home. Apparently we're even willing to swallow down decades of futility, rather than risk upsetting the apple cart. Just realize that it doesn't have to be that way. Somebody should be accountable for the failure, and that somebody sits at the top.

Funny how you clowns all circle up the wagons and turn a deaf ear to the only one making any sense in this thread. Cool clubhouse and stuff, but yeah, Ralph is terrible. He is a laughing stock around the league. He is literally decomposing before our very eyes, all whilst running the team into the ground. Doesn't it make you want to puke a little bit in your mouth every time Ralphie tells us how the only reason we are so pathetically bad is because of bad luck? The good teams, run by solid owners and management, do not rely on luck to be proven, consistent winners. They have smart, hungry people running the operations. We are a joke. Dollarcoin tells it like it is, and I know that stings a bit. Makes your heart hurt and stuff that the Bills, who you love so very very much, are pathetic and frankly doomed to consistent failure. But it's true. Keep stuffing your fingers in your ears and humming really loudly, and maybe we'll get LUCKY enough to have one flash-in-the-pan season. Meanwhile, the real teams will luck themselves into being consistent contenders year in and year out. Ralph Wilson is fail.

Ouch, the dumb just jumps off the screen here. Really cringeworthy. Like watching a cripple play duck-duck-goose.
