When he racked up close to 1000 yards in the first 8 games, there were a plethora of plays where Portis had huge holes to run through, and he couldn't take a single run to the house (from distance). He averaged more yards per carry than the top 2 ball carriers in Baltimore, but they had 3 guys that could score from anywhere on the field. Portis is good, and he's tough, but he's not extraordinary... definitely not worth the money in a league where RBs are a dime a dozen. The Giants had so many good backs 2 years ago that they were able to waive a guy named Ryan Grant. The Chargers let Turner go and Sproles stepped right in. Portis can't carry a team any more than any single Running Back can, including the likes of Tomlinson and Peterson. When was the last time the league's leading rusher won the Super Bowl?
Was it the Broncos?
