I think Portis has lost a step but I think he'd be doing a lot better if we had a better oline. I believe that the way the oline is playing makes him look worst than he really is.

Because of the reasons expressed it's difficult to guage how much more effective he would be if circumstances were different.

The one thing that has tarnished Clinton's reputation more so than his production/or lack thereof is the fact he somehow continues to open himself up to controversy, brightning the spotlight and fueling more and more negative publicity. He still has value, but probably would be more effective in a reduced role.
