Awesome. CP is my boy. He has been my favorite back since he entered the league, and he gets so little credit for the exceptional numbers he has put up. Last year my coz and I had this very same argument bout whether or not he was past his prime.

I just don't get it. He is 26, has had only one serious injury that has made him miss any meaningful playing time, and certainly by the end of this season proven that he has bounced back from it. Why are skins fans so ready to throw him under the bus? Has he not carried our team since he was brought here? Did he not set our single season rushing record? Is he not THE MOST positive influence in the locker room? What else does the guy have to do s@#$ you off?

Well, I guess Im over reacting. Most people here do love CP, but I feel like I have defended him to his own fans since he got here. Maybe people are still just bitter that Champ left. No lie, Champ was by far my favorite skin at the time . . . and I wouldn't have then nor ever would take that trade back . . . especially with the success we've had drafting in the secondary. I know I know "RB's are more of a sure thing." Fine, maybe it wasn't the smartest move, but I think its panned out well, so just get the F over it already.

I'll call it now: Portis has 1500+ yards rushing and 1800+ overall

Sorry Ladel, you prolly missed your chance for the spot light, at least you got payed, and I'm glad we've got you for insurance sake.
