I disagree with that. CP was a top-5 back also. The difference between the backs was that Westbrook was his team's only offensive weapon for years...of course he piled up the stats. He wasn't the blocker or runner that Portis was, but was a superior receiver...but then again Andy Reid passes more than any offense in the NFL. Westbrook was never a reliable back, he was annually only good for 12-13 games. He was injury-prone for many issues other than concussions. I'll admit, Westbrook was a force WHEN on the field, but that was his main weakness, staying healthy.
