Agreed. He's the best player on the team and he knows it. He's the owner's pet and he knows it.

Gibbs sucked up to CP; Zorn is still learning that he has to massage certain of the best players. He won't make that mistake again.

BL - as long as CP is an awesome RB he has a job here. However, when he starts to fade he won't have the coaches behind him.

CP has had a great season but I dont think he's the home run hitter he should be considering his salary. The stats say he's starting to fade as he just cant break any long runs anymore. If memory serves he's one of two players without a run of over 30 yds this season.

Which is kind of weird, because I believe he's close to, if not the leader in runs over 20 yards this year. He's an elite RB and I think he's got another year or 2 of being able to maintain that label. But for someone who turned 27 less than 3 months ago, he's taken a serious pounding during his career. Unfortunately he's a RB who I don't believe will last too far past 30 in this league.

That is why I'd like to see the Skins trade him now.

I say get on the phone with Detroit and see what can be worked out. Thanks to Dallas I believe they have some extra picks. God knows they could use the help.

Ditto. After the mentoring CP had from Gibbs he's still all about "me." He's not a team guy and after everything - Gibbs, losing Sean, having the whole franchise behind him - I don't expect him to ever change. Would really like to see him traded, but not too hastily. We need to get max value and add to our draft in a big way (since we're already w/o a 2nd rounder). We really needed to draft another RB anyway w/ Rock on the decline and Betts pushing 30, so trading CP is a great move IMHO.

We need trench talent more than anything!!! Not the Mouth from Miami.

Portis has carried this team for the past four years. He should be upset and outspoken about being benched! Ladell Betts is worthless and Zorn is a predictable, conservative, neophyte play caller. Thank You, Clinton for laying it on the line every Sunday and shortening your carreer to try and help the burgandy and gold win.
