This is what creates the most excitement for me about the new regime. I think things are going to be handled a lot differently. More professionally.

totally LOLing about whoever voted for Portis in the poll. Campbell may not be our answer at QB....but it is the pot calling the kettle black.

Portis, who doesn't practice, attend team meetings, or workout in the offseason, criticising another player's ethics is unacceptable. I do not like Jason but i support him fully in this argument.

Portis must have an account here.

Good for JC taking up for himself. Portis is just too honest for his own good. I do think there is some truth to what CP said even though he shouldn't have said it. Some truth. JC isn't a vocal guy. Most successful QB's in this league are vocal leaders. They demand performance and execution. They can also back it up by there play. I like JC, i'm just not sure he's the guy.

CP has worn out his welcome though. I'll trust the new guys to do the best thing for the team.

Smartest post on this thread!

Hey Matty remember that guy from like in October that was posting on here and people thought he was Portis? He had a saints image as his avatar and people were accusing him of being Portis because he was making statements that were highly personal about Portis personal feelings and life, etc....

I can't think of his name but people on here seriously believed he was Portis....

who? drop names.

[Monksdown]

Of course there are players on here. Why shouldn't they have a direct link to our idiotic ramblings? Let them have their fun like we do. We're all anonymous, let them be.

Brian Mitchell dropped in not too long ago. Funny but his post was kinda glossed over by everyone. I noticed it myself just recently.

Gary Clark has posted here, but for some reason he said he was Ricky Sanders, but I confirmed it was Clark.

There are others that probably prefer to not be called out. I'm not sure about CP though. He very well could be here. I've exchanged emails with him, or someone identifiying himself as CP with no real reason to lie about such a thing, so who knows.

Campbell showed toughness and leadership in practice and gameday (ask Malcolm Kelly about extra workouts with Jason). He took more hits and punishment than anyone else (except maybe London Fletcher delivering the punishment). Despite the season's swirling down the toilet bowl around him, he still played hard and tried to carry the team to victories even if others had given up. He's earned a LOT of respect from me.

Portis used to be my favorite Redskin but with his recent lack of heart, effort and production, he's no longer a leader and sometimes not even tolerable any more. After Sean Taylor's death, Clinton was a real leader who rallied the team and brought energy to the field to help that big run to the playoffs. Since then, he's becoming too much like Iverson, wanting to be the top guy on game day but do his own thing while the rest of the team is working hard and preparing.



Sorry, CP, I can't support you this time. Everything Jason said was true and needed to be said.

I just hope the decision to keep the real leader is made. I thank Portis for all of his past contributions and memories as the #2 all-time Redskins rusher, but it's time for him to move on or be moved. I doubt Shanahan will tolerate his running to Snyder and selfishness over what's best for the team, so maybe it's a great thing that this blew up right now as the new staff is coming in. Early enough to fix the problem (Portis) and make the decision to keep the real leader (Campbell). In my recaps of JC's stats, I have been saying for a month or so that I've been noticing some real leadership developing. This situation is proving it. Never before has he stood up to attacks and yet, he's doing it now in a way that shows he wants what's best for the entire team. I WAS speaking of on-field leadership before, but now we're seeing he can be a leader off-the-field as well.

That's hilarious about Clark.


We probably didn't believe it was really BMitch. I noticed, but doubted it. So it was REALLY him?

[over the mountain]

if CP wasnt injured he would have put up close to 1500 yds rushing like he always does.

man, a guy gets injured 1 year and all of the sudden he's a cancer? portis is a top back in this league and the least of our problems.

(j/k but this is the last time i'll say this then i'll drop it . . .anyone who is now calling portis a cancer, not a team player or expendable, please go read your posts this past offseason where anyone posting what you guys are posting now got blasted)

Terrell Owens, Randy Moss and others have been able to put up top numbers and still be a negative to their teams by their attitudes and actions. Numbers are great, but he needs to be putting them up for the team, not his own benefit and legacy.

The one vote is probably one of the posters who hate Jason Campbell no matter what he does.

I have a few guesses.
