CP is the 3rd best RB on his team.

You are a Jim Zorn fan. Why??? Portis is hurt, we need another stud to go along wiht Portis. We jsut need a good young runningback to boost the RB corps.

Who said Im a Zorn fan? Are you basing that off of my avatar? So I guess that you are a parrot fan?

Im not a Zorn fan, Im a Skins fan.

In regards to Portis.....he needs to be gone, get the young stud to go along with Betts

CP is the 3rd best RB on his team.

the stats support it

this year he is injured.....last year brady was injured but was still considered a top QB in the league.....even tho portis is hurt he is still considered a top running back in this league

even if its not by the fans of his own team

anyone who thinks portis isnt a good back is delusional

ive read your opinions of portis over the season and its obvious you spear head things when it comes to portis hating.....right now everybody is upset so they grab on to every pessimistic view of whatever anybody wants to talk about....but that gets in the way of facts

some thread about how many backs are worse than portis? are you really using a season in which he is injured and your redskins stink to judge whether the running back that is basically asked to carry your team is still talented?

...amazing

Once again...have you watched a single Redskins game this year?

have you?

how comfortable do you feel getting called out for not knowing the team you call your own?

you are a pessimist and look for the worst thing in everything....portis is in the prime of his career and you are letting a losing season get in the way of the truth

there are teams around the league that would love to have a quality back like clinton portis......but you're probably right.....portis is washed up at 27 years old and nearly 10000 career rushing yards

Still haven't answer the question....I question whether or not you have even seen him play this year.

But yes, I have watched every game/carry/yard of CP's career in DC

I am far from a pessimist....I see the good that Betts could do for the team if the organization stops cow towing to CP because he has a bloated contract.

he is 28 by the way, with a ton of injuries piling up, thats far from "in his prime" by NFL running back standards.

I'll answer that for RacistLegend, since he won't...

Other than the Giants game and the Philly game, the Skins and Saints have played pretty much at the same times this year. So if RacistLegend has been watching his beloved Saints, he has not seen the Redskins.

Therefore all of his arguments about Portis are a matter of talking out of his ass because he hasn't seen the games that we have.

Im not hating...I don't think he is good, thats my observation from watching every game of his Redskins career. Just my opinion, but I think its shared by others with way more knowledge of the game.

Im not going to argue that he has put up good numbers in his career, I just think he is done being productive.

I don't get the whole "he is hurt" arguement....he has been hurt for the last 3 years....if he can't or won't prepare his body for an NFL season thats even more of an indication he should hang it up. Bottom line he just comes across as an entitled cry baby with a sub par work ethic....bad for the team.

Hurt all the time! is Felix jones. He has burst, he has explosiveness but he stays hurt. Portis is not in that category. Glad Dallas got that glass man Felix. Anyway Portis is not what he used to be because he is more. He is a work horse and he is a good blocker. He will do what it takes for the team to win. We can get a new shiny toy RB in the drasft to go along with the work horse. Until a new explosive back proves he is a work horse, keep that old work horse chugging then plug in the new toy for excitement. I give Portis so much credit for becoming a Joe Gibbs runningback. You can take your WCO offense back to Seattle Zorn.

Portis has never been much for practice even during his better seasons. More than anything he's just not 100% this year, he hasn't been from the start. Hopefully he can get those bone spurs cleaned up in the offseason and be back to the Portis of old, or close to it.

What you gonna do when Betts gets dinged and fatigued and has an off year? Get rid of Betts?

Its not about having an off year (at least in my opinion), Portis is done, he is a shell of what he was in Denver and in his first couple years here.

He will never be a premier RB in the NFL again.

Portis appears to be a lazy, G'd up wanna be superstar that can get away with anything he wants.

team cancer.

probably said the same thing about brett favre

yea.....theres never been anybody in the league to bounce back after a down year....especially not anybody older than 27
