Do you want Portis back next season?

He should not have the starting job though unless he earns it in the offseason.

I think he got more then he deserved with his paycheck Angry. He wouldn't even practice or stay in shape for the team. We owe him nothing.

Excellent points! I am merely saying that if he works hard this offseason then he deservers to break the record. If he comes in like a bitch then he can go out like a bitch, but lets at least give him the opportunity.

This interview with Stump pretty much confirms it. Portis doesn't give a crap.

"That's the only disappointment that I'll have. The fact that I couldn't persuade Clinton to do it a different way," Mitchell said Monday. "I want Clinton to be the best back in the league. But in order for that to happen, you have to prepare for it. But I don't know if that's what Clinton wants to do."

Asked if Portis's practice habits and offseason conditioning have held him back, Mitchell said: "That's a slam dunk. Clinton could've worked harder."

"He's got to do that," Mitchell continued, "and [owner Daniel Snyder] has to understand that that's what has to be done. In order for the Redskins to be successful, that's what Clinton has to do. He has to change the way he's done things in the past in order for them to be successful as a team."

Nope and he never has. This has gone on even when Byner was coaching him. I've been saying it for a long time, CP hurts this team as much, or more than he helps it. All the talent in the world and no work ethic. He does things when the mood strikes him or he wants to prove something and that's it. He's one of the biggest underachievers in the league. What he's done for us in the past, he could have done more. Even Mitchell said he could be the best in the league. He was certainly paid like it. Maybe Shanny can get him going but personally I have no respect for him at all.
