Some of these debates are good though...

I like a point that I am seeing ground out here: Everyone here appreciates CP's past work for us...however only a few people still feel that his past work should give him an indefinate pass on the future

You know, you're right about that Snake and I guess it's the tone of some posts that seem to be angling for people to argue with them. The dumbest part of it is that it doesn't matter what any of us argue here, either the guy stays or goes, and it's going to come down to impressing a guy who traded him away several years ago.

From my posts in this thread you'd probably think I'm anti-Portis, but I've got the man's jersey hanging in my closet (next to my Monk and my Campbell, ironically), and my signature image from the Fantasy bulletin board I used to frequent calls me the driver of the Portis Bandwagon, because I've been that guy when a lot of folks said he was done.

For me, Portis has taken a decidely Arenas turn this past season, where mileage and injuries are catching up to him and his behavior hasn't exactly been the kind of foundation you can build a locker room around. That doesn't take away from what he has done on the field in the past, but I also do not think we are going to win many football games in the future relying on CP to shoulder the load.

So I'll just agree to disagree with MonkFan and anyone else who wants to hold on to the guy. And no more going for the throat, lol.
