Well i'm glad there are at least a FEW people here that know stats and know real football and make valid comments. Metal Gear only uses opinions and his best defense is exaggerating other people's statements.

Question, if ANYONE can have success in Shanahan's system, why has nobody done as well in it since Portis? If players are interchangable, why didn't Shanahan get any rings after Elway and Terrell Davis were gone? Answer that, Solid.

Our two last playoff berths were mostly on the back of Portis and we crapped out in out last playoff game because Todd Collins let one pick lead to more and turn him into a typical rookie, scared to make another mistake. Another big factor was the greatest player of our defense, God rest his soul, left a huge hole in our backfield when he passed away. Once again, when you play normal teams, Yes, Santana can be the man. But when you'r eplaying a playoff level team, the number 2 and 3 receivers HAVE to step up! (This is the point you missed when you THOUGHT i was comparing Moss to Reggie Wayne)
All we had was moss, cooley was too busy blocking to make a difference in the passing game, so of COURSE they handed Portis the ball over and over! He'd take the ball with sore ribs, a bad shoulder, and a twisted ankle and STILL have a higher YPC than Betts or any other guy we have AS WELL as most many other starters. I'm not all about portis and i'm not in his fan club, i'm stating facts! Now, if you have anything other than "Oh, so you think portis is perfect!?" then let it be known. If not, go put on your pink Tony Romo jersey and let the real Redskins fans talk!
