God knows, Campbell has had enough fingers pointed his direction.

However, I can't side with the folks that say get rid of Portis...He may not be what he used to be, but he is still a valuable member of our team and can still contribute next year. Even taking into account all of his issues, I think we are a better team with him on the roster (not necessarily starting). The bottom line is that I'm curious to see how he does with a Shanahan line and I think he is worth the "risk" of holding on to. Hopefully they will have aired their differences out and moved on.

At least he didn't go all Gilbert Arenas on JC.

I agree with you on the first part...but seriously...what can Portis contribute to this team at this point??

Last season, even before he was injured, he was not running like a starting back. He wasnt running like a backup running back. He couldn't get out of his own way, stumbled over his own feet...fumbled, and just generally looked shot.....can't believe how people can still think he has something left...
