I mean, I know how we as fans see him -- face of the franchise, worth two #1 picks... blah, blah.

I can't help but to think that if you put yourself in the shoes of other general managers, he might look like damaged goods.

I think Portis is definetly, even at the age of 25, worth a 1st rounder and maybe a little more.

As far as damaged goods, well he's only been hurt this year.

I agree. I think he's viewed as a good back but nothing to go gaga over.

He's been in the league 4 years. That is not a long time for all the other marquee players in this league. If he was some backup barely hanging onto a roster spot, then yeah it'd be a long time. And i for one will come out and say I would not feel comfortable with Ladell Betts in a starting role. Not after all the fumbles at crucial moments, or the health issues.

I agree with your post...except, this was his 5th season.

The Broncos already have the Bell Brothers. And don't they need to find a CB now?

You're so insensitive!

Didn't Clinton hate Denver. Didn't he bast them after the trade? Clinton is going to be our next president and will be here for the long run.

If the Redskins can even muster the cap room needed to trade Portis...wouldn't they most likely use that cap room to add some free agents rather than to trade away a young player that they like?

Omg When Will This End!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have only begun to see what Portis can deliver. As the Oline improves, and gels, it will be interesting

Lets put a stop to this thread! Portis isn't going anywhere and why would any redskin fan want him to? The guy is a franchise back who has proven himself everywhere that he has played. He consistently puts himself and his body on the line for the team and has his best years ahead of him. If JC develops into a decent NFL QB and the skins can stretch the field then CP is just going to get better.

Sure, Betts had a great year but no way is he as good as Portis. Who would you rather have carrying the ball when the pressure is on? Really, there are only a handful of backs in the entire league as good as Portis and he will be the fulcrum of the offense for the next 4 or 5 seasons.
