Portis should actually be the poster child for calling bs on the system back theory.

His raw numbers fell slightly from Denver because his current system isn't as friendly to RBs. That's to be expected.

But anyone expecting him to fall off the face of the earth once he left Denver now has to explain why he performed so well in 2005 and the first half of 2006. I'd be willing to bet that no one here can come up with a response that can just write off a year and a half of accomplishments.

2004 was a horrible year for Portis. But can anyone really explain why, and give a reason to expect 2004 to repeat itself? I doubt it.
