Wow. So Betts has a nice streak of games, and everyone wants to dismiss the fact that he's been on the team for five seasons, and never had anything close to this level of production. Yes, he's better than Portis. That's why Portis has as many yards in the last two seasons as Betts has in his career. Portis also has as many touchdowns this season, as Betts has in his career. So yeah, let's all act like Betts decent string of games makes him better than one of the most complete players in the league. Talk about a knee jerk. Stupid question, no matter whatever circumstantial scenario you want to throw out.

I do however think Betts is a nice compliment to Portis, and he might even have better vision than Portis. The problem with Betts is if the hole isn't there, he's almost completely ineffective. Portis can turn nothing into something better than most backs in the league, and his speed and big play ability are above average also. And Portis is arguably the best blocking halfback in the league; something that Betts is sub par at. While I think having both of them in the backfield will be a very nice situation next season, debating who is the better football player isn't even and argument.
