Portis staying?

[Beneil (diehard since 87)]

Don't get me wrong, trashing a player on your team is not 'nice'. i just think it's not an unpardonable sin. I would much rather hear that cooley quote abaout how Campbell needs "bigger balls", than hear him pretend there is no issue. It's not like he does it all the time. It's not like it COSTS us any GAMES. Besides, sometimes calling people out makes them step up. Ask Rich Gannon how he took the Raiders to the SuperBowl. If the line doesn't like it, then they need to step up. If Sellers doesnt like it, then he needs to do his job right. Once they do... THEN you can properly evaluate Portis. People compare Jason to the best and call him crap instead of the 20 starters he's either as good as or getter dispite have been sacked twice as much and hit 4 times as much.

The difference is if you're one of those guys who are giving 100% by going to practice, keeping yourself in shape, attending OTA's and being there with your teamates learning and practicing that weeks gameplan, then yeah, you have a right to speak out about people who AREN'T doing those things. Portis was not one of those guys.

Yeah. Good thing Favre precticed and worked out with the eam ever since the begining of training camp to build the necessary co... wait... oh, he didn't? My bad. I thought ALL the great ones did.

Also, it's not like Portis missed a ton of practices. You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. I do believe in cohesion and time in the trenches together to build a bond. ESPECIALLY FOR THE O-LINE. But the fact of the matter is that CP didn't miss than many practices and or workouts. CP plays hurt like a warrior and plays better INJURED than 80% of the other starters int eh league at peak condition

You're way off base on Favre. Mr. Favre did indeed practice with his team-mates...he played in the preseason...2 things Portis refuses to do. Dude you obviously don't even watch the NFL. This is crazy some of your statements..Do you seriously think that Brett didn't practice in Minnesota? It was on TV the 2nd day he was there...he was in a jersey out there throwing with the receivers....where do you get this stuff?

second statement: "CP didn't miss that many practices"....do you not consider "ALL" to be that many? The man didnt work out at all or practice not even once!! Jesus Christ man get real...And playing better hurt than 80% of the starters in the league?? You're on some bad shit dude. Portis played like garbage before he was injured...and now you're saying even hurt he played better than guys like Peterson, Chris Johnson, Shonn Green....seriously man your posts are messed up

Favre also doesn't talk trash about his teamates and takes responsibility for his own mistakes. You're obviously a big fan of Portis... moreso than his own teamates it appears. Live in that world if you want to. Comparing Portis to Favre is a joke. Favre doesn't miss games injured or not. But far be it from me to try to break up true romance. Whatever man.
