Re: Betts better than Portis?

I think the "either Portis or Betts" view is the wrong one. We keep them both and use them both as equally important. They both have their strengths and weaknesses. Portis has big play game changing ability, Betts does not. On the other hand, Betts displays a lot more patience in letting his blockers create holes, leading to more ypc on regular rushing downs, whereas Portis lacks that patience. Then again, Portis is a much better blocker and blitz picker upper than Betts is.

This is a great situation to be in next year, but I would like to see is them splitting the carries, rather than Portis getting the bulk of them. They should both get 16-20 carries per game each, rather than Portis getting 25 and Betts 10. We should view them both as starters.
