Portis is a double edged sword

I agree 100% with SkinsLove24/7...Everyone is acting like our front office on impulse and knee jerk reactions with Betts solid fill in. Let's not forgot Portis was 1 of 2 back to reach a rushing mark (Jim Brown) being the other. Portis is great with the fans and media and want's to win very bad. We have lost way to many "Face of the Franchise" players and I would hate to see our fans and the local media turn against Portis. Besides he's from THE U and thats what its really about

I didnt see one person say that Portis is bad, Portis should be released or traded, Betts should start, or anything like that. I started this thread saying that I like Portis and his style of play and that I think he is great, but I'm just worried about how he throws his body around will affect him. I want Portis to stay as long as he can do what he has been doing his entire career, but I'm just worried that won't be the length of a normal running back of his talent.

I just hope Portis bounces back from the surgeries and injuries better than ever. We all saw what injuries did to Jamal Lewis...
