Portis Out To Prove Redskins Wrong

[GridIron26]

Why are we trashing Portis? Yes, Portis made a comment about proving Redskins wrong, but nothing more.. In fact, he even said that Redskins is going in right direction with Shanahan - I don't see any negativity in that. Portis got released before his contract expired; it's like a freelance signing with a company to work for x years but then the company decides they don't need him/her anymore, they tell that person "Sorry, we don't need you anymore" and cut the contract early. You would think that person would want to sign with another company and prove that company wrong? That is exactly what Portis is trying to do..

Even though Portis slacked off at practices, partied, and goofed around (even we enjoyed it). He gave it all on the field, he ruined his body for Redskins aka Gibbs. He didn't complain about it. Gibbs could have used two system with Betts, aside the fumbling problem, he was a pretty good runner. But Gibbs didn't, and it practically ran Portis to early retirement. Not that I'm saying he will retire before this season but he will retires few years earlier than he probably would if he wasn't used so much.

Edit: It's all on media, they always take players' comments out of context and twist it around.
