Do you know why Morris broke that record? Because he wasn't the only offensive weapon. I already said it, but I'll say it again.

Morris had a very good QB to take pressure off the running game; Portis was really the only offensive weapon while he was here. He was a much better runner than Morris.
As for the catching? I don't see any way Morris will ever get as many catches or yards as Portis had.
Blocking? Are you kidding me? Look at the video I posted; Portis was blocking like a beast near the end of the video. And that's part of the reason Portis was injured so much. He did his best on every single play. He put his body on the line every single game.
Boom. Roasted. I'm not taking anything away from Morris, because he's a very good RB, but as for an all around RB give me Portis any day of the week.
And my "Without a doubt a HOFer" comment, that's just my opinion, an opinion I know many others don't hold.

If you read through my previous post, you'll see that I say that Morris isn't most likely never going to be as good or even close to as good as portis was at blocking and catching.
And you are right about Portis not having a QB. But the injuries and his career length don't help his case and for me are a major reason he was overrated (as well as the money he was being paid).
