Wide Reciever and corner were hardest to grade.

I do believe Nugent will be a better kicker than Lindell, but im going to wait before judge that.

[Mudflap1]

Actually, I pretty much agree with what you put down...

I still think the Bills are a 6-10 team this year though...

I pretty much agree with everything but CB and DE. I'd take Miami's corners over the Jets. And I'd take our DEs over the Pats.

jets first at RB? i guess if your going on proven history.. but i would rate mcgahee at the top for this upcoming year.. in ff, would you really take martin or dillon over mcgahee?

I agree. If you are going on past history, then the choices seem fine, but we should remember that WM didn't even start last year. Add 3 games on his average and that's more like what he might do this year!!! Curtis did great, but he's still getting older and at some point, it catches up with you - especially at a position where you take a beating all year. You can try to outrun it, but time always catches up. Just ask Rice...

[AndreReed83]

I'd rate it Dillon, McGahee, Martin, Brown.

[Tatonka]

if wm plays all 16 games this season, with another year to get healthy and learn the system.. i guarentee he beats out every single one of those back.

[AndreReed83]

Actually, I was factoring in the O-line help for RB's. Since it's supposed to be on pure talent and how they have tapped into that talent. I'd say McGahee ahead of Dillon.

I'd rate the Bills Run Game as tops in the Division since we currently have 2 All Pro calliber RBs on the Roster.

I think the Jets are better overall than these ratings suggest.

Overall, I think the Patriots will not be as good, they will start to decline, the Jets are solid, Miami isn't as bad as people think, and the Bills are growing, lying somewhere in the middle. Again, I still personally believe that this year may be a step backwards in order to take (ho hum) another two steps forwards NEXT year.

Feels like we've been saying that for a decade.

I think you short changed us a little at RB, where I would expect Martin to be slowing down; DE, where I expect Kelsay to really come into his own opposite Schobel; and coaching. But you may have been generous at CB.

The real problem is that some positions should be weighted more than others, and in many cases there are larger spreads than just a single point between places. For instance, Brady at this point may be the equivalent of 5 or 6 points better than Losman, or our O line might not be within a single point of the Jets.

So while I think your ratings are fairly accurate, there may still be more of a gap between us and the Pats, and we may not be ahead of the Jets at all.

Ever heard of the Sophomore curse? The "learn the system" excuse never works for anyone. On top of "learning the system" teams "learn you".

Wow. A realist...you're going to get attacked for preaching the truth.

He's expressing his opinion and thats fine, and its respected. You get attacked because your stupid, and egotistic enought to think you know "the truth". Humility is something you lack. Now the adults are having a grown up coversation so move along.

I guess you guys are right. I just saw Martin winning the rushing title, and Dillion's contribution to the Pats last year, and i thought if i put Wills on the top then it look to be that i was a complete homer.
