Portis Overrated?

Exactly, it's Joe Gibbs's job to adapt to Clinton Portis, not the other way around. Plenty of backs have left teams where they struggled and have had success. Do you question Priest Holmes? He only had one mediocre season in Baltimore, but he's been great in KC. That would tell me that that system fits him better. What about Michael Pittman? He was nothing as a Cardinal and then went to the Bucs and was a starting halfback on the team that won the Super Bowl. It works for tons of players in the NFL. This is a stupid arguement.
