That's right, VT. In fact, Portis only averaged about 3 YPC in his 2 years in Denver, if you take away his 30+ yard carries. That entire concept is complete lunacy. What idiot writer came up with that anyway?? Another similar style (breakaway) runner, Barry Sanders, averaged LESS than 3 YPC if you took away HIS long runs. Maybe this clown thinks Barry should be booted out of the Hall of Fame??!!?? Give me a break. Why are guys like that writing in the sports pages, they should be writing the comic strip. Hopefully, no one here gave ANY credibility to it!
