Re: As Long As We're Talking Running Backs Over 30 Years Old

its true that portis isn't 30 yet, but if you look at his injuries, the amount of carries he's had, and the fact that he doesn't take care of himself anymore, he's about 65 in people years.

Him getting back in shape is the only chance he has this year, or he could be out of the league in 2011 if he has another crappy year.

I say we keep CP, but when we play him we put in the line from 2009. That'll get rid of him.

If Portis is medically cleared...he'll be in shape and our starter for 2010. No one ever questioned his heart under Gibbs...why should we under Shanny?

His heart was questioned by some people during the Zorn fiasco.

Last season...but not the prior season when he started off leading the NFL in rushing and powering us to victories in Dallas and Philly.

In fact, he started off the 2008 training camp by challenging a then 22 year old Laron Landry (4.38 in the 40yd dash at the 2007 combine) to a race...and tying him (although they both say they won).

There certainly were questions about his work ethic.
