Who cares if you're mad he doesn't practice. You have a right not to practice when you are carrying the whole offense on your shoulders, and taking a freaking beating every week. Portis carried us after Sean Taylor died. Yet, some people claim it was Collins. Portis is getting no credit for what he does and blame because he does not fit the image you would like to see. I say keep sacrificing your body to advance that pigskin and you have done your job Clinton.

I think you are having the typical knee jerk reaction of complaining about anyone who criticizes Portis.

As I mentioned before, no one is discrediting or disregarding what Portis has done for this organization, but it is foolish to just hold on to that and pretend like he has had any type of impact on or off the field this season.

And I completely disagree with the whole leadership issue. While yes, leadership should come from the head coach, but it should also come from veteran players, especially those that are seen as the face of the franchise (i.e. Peyton, Brady, Ray Lewis, etc., etc.).

Finally, I am far from hating on Clinton Portis...I think if healthy, he can still be a big part of this offense, but the team should change its philosophy and not make him the ONLY part of the offense. This team needs to adopt a two-RB system, to make sure that in the future we don't run to death the next Clinton Portis.

PS: And what the hell do you mean by social conservative war?
