There were still a couple of running backs better than Portis at the time. Still quite a few running backs that were better at the time, also remember he also came from the Shanahan system which produces running backs like crazy.

Nah, it was more along the lines of personal reasons that he needed to get out of town.
As for quite a few backs being better than him... how many guys put up the numbers that he did over that 2 year span??
In the end I think both teams got what they wanted out of the deal.
