Marshall Faulk's Top 5 RB's...No Portis?!

[skins89moss]

I cant see how Maurice Jones Drew is better than C.Portis. LT. is a little older than CP and right now i would take Portis over him. Andrian Peterson is the only back you can say is better than C.Portis. All the backs on Marshall Faulks list have a back up that spells them during the game which allows them to be fresh in the 4th when you can make the longer runs whe the defense gets tired. We have Ladell Betts backing Portis and thats not saying much.

Amazing how a couple years will change soooo much. We were talking about how Portis / Betts was the best combo in the NFL, some suggested ever.
