Portis

Betts put up the same type of numbers when Portis was hurt. Portis is not a playmaker. He is good and you can't argue with his numbers but he is not even the 3rd best back in the NFC East.

I guess we don't have any type of test for people to join this site.

Its easy to just say "you are stupid" when someone says something you disagree with. At least back up your statement with an arguement.

Do you think CP breaks long runs?
Do you think he is good in short yardage?
Do you think he ever makes defenders miss in space?
Do you think he falls down on his own way to much?

He gets the yardage...but he is far from elite. Elite backs do the things I llisted above.

OK Yes, Yes, Yes, and Yes. Portis is not going to out run people in open space but other then that he is a great back. Take a runner like Bush and he is great when he breaks out in the open field but he he cannot bust things open on his own. He might have a couple of big plays but he does not produce play after play.

Bush sucks as a pro RB. Not a good comparison.
