Brown gets more oppotunites to make receptions, that doesn't make him a better receiver; Willis never drops passes.
By the same logic, McGahee gets more carries, that doesn't make him a better runner. Brown's career YPC is HIGHER than McGahee's. What don't you understand about that?
Willis has been a non-factor in the passing game for three seasons under two different HCs and OCs. Brown is on pace for 60 receptions this season. That is as many as McGahee has had in 2.5 seasons. I also watch the games. Brown is a better route runner and is very smooth catching the ball. McGahee catches nothing but duump off passes, and screen passes.

McGahee is a DAMN GOOD blocker; there is no way you can say he is much worse than Brown. If Brown can block so well, how come your QBs have been sacked so much more?
McGahee is a good blocker when he feels like it (which is not too often). Most of the time, he isn't interested and doesn't put in enough effort. Brown is very good at it and consistently puts in the effort.

Have you ever seen a Bills game? McGahee can control the clock, pick up first downs, and wear down the other team. Look at each back's top 12 games:
McGahee:
150, 143, 140, 136, 132, 117, 116, 113, 111, 105, 102, 102
Brown:
132, 127, 106, 97, 95, 90, 70, 67, 64, 59, 58, 58
Take a look at the performance of Brown and McGahee between the first half and second half. McGahee averages 4.2 YPC in the first half and 3.2 YPC in the second half. Does that sound like a RB that wears down the other team? Brown averages 3.5 YPC in the first half and 4.2 YPC in the second half.
McGahee:
1ST HALF 4.2
2ND HALF 3.2
Brown:
1ST HALF 3.5
2ND HALF 4.2
Also take a look at how their YPCs change by the number of carries in a game:
McGahee:
ATTEMPTS 1-THROUGH-10 4.1
ATTEMPTS 11-THROUGH-20 3.8
ATTEMPTS 21-THROUGH-30 2.4
Brown:
ATTEMPTS 1-THROUGH-10 3.3
ATTEMPTS 11-THROUGH-20 4.4
ATTEMPTS 21-THROUGH-30 5.1
McGahee's YPC goes DOWN, Brown's goes UP.
How about by which down it is?
McGahee:
FIRST DOWN 3.5
SECOND DOWN 4.4
THIRD DOWN 2.5
FOURTH DOWN 0.0
Brown:
FIRST DOWN 3.4
SECOND DOWN 4.4
THIRD DOWN 4.8
FOURTH DOWN 0.0
Brown is averaging nearly double the YPC on the critical third down runs.
Last two minutes of a half:
McGahee - 3.1 YPC
Brown - 5.7 YPC
What was your argument again? Are you sure you're not confusing the two RBs?
You also keep ignoring the fact that McGahee has only ONE TD this season. That came after a penalty gave the Bills another chance. McGahee had failed on 3rd and 1 the play before.
Since I live in Buffalo and watch the Bills every week, I can confidently say that I watch AT LEAST as many Bills games as you. I just do it without my red and blue glasses on.
BTW, the football lessons are free.
