    Got a magezine of the preview of the 2009 season

    On the best players of each position, Lynch isnt listed on RB at all. Theres like 5 catagories and no Lynch, same with Evans. Peters is the 3rd best LT, Butler is 10 on best RG, he is also listed as breakout RG and future star, him and dockery are rated as on of the underatted duo, Fowler is on underatted, no walker. No Schoebel, Stroud, or McCargo on DL. No Crowell at all on LBs. McKelvin isnt even listed as Rookie CB impact. Whitner isnt listed. Parrish is 6 on RS.

      It might be worth noting that the Bills had their hightest ypc running between Butler and Walker. Only 5 RG/RT holes in the league had a higher ypc. It is estimated at 4.65 ypc. For comparison, the hole between Dockery and Peters was 3.9 ypc (good for 23rd).

        Not quite sure how you a got a preview of the 09' season. I'm guessing you meant 08'. And for the record, I would have put the mag down when it didn't list Lynch anywhere yet it had the audacity to say that Brad Butler is the 10th best RG.

          I think they have undervalued and underrated some of our players, but I'm glad they recognized Butler.

          Many people here don't seem to realize that he is good, and getting better. Just look at Lynch's YPC when going over the right side. If we had a better Center, Butler would probably be viewed a little more positively on this board.

          Regardless, I think Butler will be All Pro in a couple of years.
          Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?

            i like the fact that Lynch is underrated.

            i can understand Evans not making the list, as he was a non-factor last season....hopefully that will change.

            i hope the FO is smart enough to pay the # 3 LT.

              I think a lot of our players are underrated simply because we haven't made the playoffs in eight years. We're not exactly the darlings of the media.

                Well, of course I want some playoff action, but I believe media attention and accolades is what makes players want bigger contracts.

                I've said it before, but I'll say it again, I don't vote Bills to the Pro Bowl for this simple reason. I like our team and players being underrated. To me that means more talent for less money. Hopefully we are stock piling the talent while we can, because I can't help but think the attention is coming.

                  It would be helpful had you noted how many top players are listed at a given position. Is it the top five RBs, top ten?
                  I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.

                  I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

                    10 which makes it worse.

                      It doesn't upset me terribly. Lynch was a rookie and pundits may be waiting to see if he develops. It would have been unthinkable not to have Adrian Peterson on the list since he came in second in the league in rushing yardage to LaDanian Tomlinson and did it only playing 14 games, starting 9. Lynch was 11th BTW, though he missed 3 games. I think Lynch is a top 10 back in the league, but it doesn't bother me in the least that the pundits at this particular mag didn't see it that way. I'll bet if he can stay healthy this season, he'll be on the list a year from now.

                          I think that after this season, people will start to give Lynch a bit of respect. Hoping he has a good year!

                            Why are we surpised Lynch is not top 10? One good year does not make you a top 10 back in the NFL. He does it again this year then there is no doubt, till then it can always be said by haters to be a one year wonder.
