Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis

Betts or somebody else wins the starting job. CP either becomes the 3rd down back behind Betts or the 3rd string behind Betts & a new starter. He either accepts his role & becomes a valuable contributor picking up blitzes & catching dump offs, or he complains, skips practice, talks about teamates & Shanny Keyshawns him.

Like Matt Mosely said on espn.com, how Shanny deals w/CP will indicate a lot about how much control of the team he has from the danny. If he's not cut from day 1, I expect there to be a serious confrontation between CP & Shanny/mgmt. at some point.
Alridge possibly.

Portis could be a GREAT 3rd down back in either rushing or passing situations where he needs to block. We just need to make sure his feud with Campbell is over so he doesn't "miss" blocks on purpose. Sadly, I could now see him pulling that.
