Portis staying?

Ok, here's my issue:

1- As someone said before, this is a Portis thread and everyone is making it out to be about everyone else. The first joker wanted to bring Sellers into the arguement then blame everyone else for bringing Seller into a Portis thread. Then there's the second joker who brings up JC and people not on this team. I honestly don't care about whether other players are brought up but don't bring them up yourself then bitch about others doing it.

2- No one said Porti is crap. I think we all know what he has done and what he as accomplished. But the issues are not about what he "has" done in the past for us its what he is going to be able to do for us. As a player who is getting older, is more injury prone, and is slowing down... is he worth keeping on this team? I still say his head injury may have decided for us. The doctor as far as I know still has not cleared him.

YouTube - YOU GOT KNOCKED THA FUGGG OUT!!!

3-This year is to be an uncapped year. Most experts are saying they believe a new CBA will be put in place after this year. If a team wants to shed any big contracts with out it hurting them future wise this would be the year. Maybe it will go longer but what we do know is this year will not have a CAP and the owners know it and if they want to shed big contracts this is the year to get it done. Unfortunatly Portis falls into this catagory.

4- "If" the team can pay off Portis, and his doctor clears him, and the team wants to re-sign him to a more reasonable contract then I'm for keeping him and bringing in someone else to split time on the field so Portis's whinny ass doesn't have to complain about the beating he's taking. But I'm more about the team playing as a team. The team acting like a team, so if Portis gets cut I know I won't be upset. I know it was not all Portis's fault just as I know it wasn't all JC's fault, but I do know that no one should be getting special treatment. That is if they view themselves as a team player and a team. Everyone does the work. Everyone does the practices. Everyone does the preseason. It's a way for the coach's to evaluate the players and their progress. Are they getting the timing down? Are they hitting the holes right? Are they blocking the right people? Are they running the right routes? What if JC sat out all preseason then started game day? Do you think he would be completely ready to step on the field and win a game for us? Do you think he would have the receivers routes down and be able to deliver the ball on time?

No one person is bigger then the team or the game. I can over look the comments Portis has made if the players can over look them. If the team has made up and kissed then I'm good with Portis staying so long as he doesn't hurt us because he's not learning the plays on the field or practicing the plays on the field, or his Salary.

No the other players mentioned.... Sellers is getting old, I hope they have a replacement for him. JC is not an elite QB in my book. He's servicable, is young, and for the most part healthy, I don't have a problem with him cause he actually practices and plays. I'd like to see us pick up a Frachise QB cause I don't see it with JC but otherwise if the coaching staff believes he is right for their system then I'll be happy knowing someone who knows their system thinks JC can run it.

I'll even go a step further.... I hope they do something with AH's contract. I'm not sure if it was $100 mill if he plays the whole term or if it's guarenteed? If it's guarenteed then I'd say try to pay off the majority so if a CAP comes back into play we only owe him like half the amount. If it's only the $40 mill guarenteed then pay him that and rework his contract. If he doesn't want to be in a 3-4 as some of you seem to think he said then let him go if he wants to go. Rather trade him out. Maybe pick up a NT or a draft pick or both.

Samuels I don't see coming back even though he's waffling. I can't see him returning with the neck issue. Same with R.Thomas. Anyone else with an off the chart salary we need to look into? fix it. Rework it. Whatever.
