Clinton Portis among players who have worn out their welcome

There's been big holes that he's not been able to run through. The line's bad but they are still professionals, and on occasion this year they've opened up holes that Portis couldn't hit. He can't make cuts anymore. He's more like an old Shawn Alexander who runs 3 yards and then falls down. The question is what Portis adds to the team moving forward and the answer is clearly nothing. If he is just going to play the role of bulldozer - a meat tenderizer as Corey Dillon described himself once - then we can get that for less than 10 mill per year, and with less distraction.

Bank on it, this guy is dunzo with us after this year.

But people seem to think this lets the QB and the skill positions completely off the hook, even though they have pretty much sucked equally. This is certainly true of Portis, who at this point is nothing more than a body. A chug forward and fall down guy with no lateral movement, no explosiveness, no ability to change direction; basically none of the skills that led him to thrive in Denver's one cut system.

Throw in the fact that he's been a whiny little bitch and you have someone who has gots to go.

couldn't have said it better myself......Portis is garbage. Overpriced, overhyped.

If CP still had it, he would've scored on that 78 yard run against KC.

Trade Cooley for draft picks. He has character issues i.e. Internet exhibitionism.

[SmootSmack]

Portis, Horton, and I don't know our 4th rounder? for Leinart and the Cards 1st round pick. Draft Tebow to replace Portis

Yeah that's it, we'll draft Tebow but he won't replace Campbell, he'll replace Portis

[joethiesmanfan]

Interesting, think Tebow is a runningback? I think he is a QB. If we blow up this roster we will be terrible for 10 yeears. Some of those magic draft picks are gonna be busts. LOL!!! Use what you go to get where you going. The only player to warrant loyalty is Cooley??! EVeryone else can be traded. The only player to show his genitalia on the Internet is Cooley. He is a sick puppy that needs to be banned from the NFL, IMO.

Get real.

[joethiesmanfan]

It takes 2 RBs and I think one of them should be Portis. Gee whiz the man has given it all to the Danny, played hurt, did the little things, but they don't like Portis. They like Cooley, scrotum sack and all.

Well maybe not banned, but that raises a red flag.

Simple mistake that he acknowledged.

Red flag for what exactly?

Character issues. Simple mistake, "I accidentally posted a nude picture of my self and a football blog". LOL

Not sure how that adds up to character issues exactly.

How about his off the field charity work, to me that tells me all I need to know about his character. Plus he's never been a problem child on the field or off. No legal issues, no DWI's. No dog fighting, etc., etc.

Actually, it doesn't with me and I think you're being absurd.

I think he raised a pink flag in an area not marked with a red light.
