The only way Portis is gone this year is if he refuses to work. I know that a lot of people are begging that they let him go but there are 7 million guaranteed reasons why BA and MS WANT Portis to be the guy this year.

Portis isn't going to be dropped without a clear replacement being in the building. Dropping Portis and putting in Parker would be a significant downgrade.
