We have lost way to many "Face of the Franchise" players and I would hate to see our fans and the local media turn against Portis. Besides he's from THE U and thats what its really about

I didnt see one person say that Portis is bad, Portis should be released or traded, Betts should start, or anything like that. I started this thread saying that I like Portis and his style of play and that I think he is great, but I'm just worried about how he throws his body around will affect him. I want Portis to stay as long as he can do what he has been doing his entire career, but I'm just worried that won't be the length of a normal running back of his talent.
