Portis vs. Betts

Come on now people. Betts had a great year. But did we forget how Portis carried our squad to the playoffs. A healthy Portis is the man for this squad.

LT - seemed to fix his fumbling problem.
fumbles:
8,3,2,6,3,2

Travis Henry-
fumbles:
5,11,7,0,2,3

All I'm saying is that it's possible, and worth arguing that Betts can fix his fumbling problem. He's not the worst fumbler in the world. Yes, it's indicative of a trend, but not disastrous.

It's not dripping of ignorance to argue that since other running backs can fix there fumbling problems Betts can too.

Is Betts a Tiki caliber player? Time will tell.

Betts is early in his career, and has put up numbers similar to that of Barber. I don't see this as heresy to compare the two this early on, especially since that is when Barber had his fumbling woes. See this statistic.

Ladell
First 566 carries = 2,245 yds 9 TD 11 Fumbles

Tiki
First 629 carries = 2,606 yds 14TD 26 fumbles

Exactly why is this such a bad comparison?

We aren't arguing that Betts is going to be the next Tiki and rush like he has. Simply that since several RB's have fixed their fumbling woes, it's entirely reasonable to suggest that Betts, when given the proper coaching, can work on his problems (especially since it's not an abysmal one).

So not only is Betts being compared to Tiki but now LT is being thrown in there too.

I give up.

You know what all of the Betts die hards are right. Maybe we can trade CP for another lead blocker for Betts. In fact, Betts would probably be better in Gibbs offense than LT or Tiki since Betts "hits the hole faster"....

grim, no one is comparing their abilities. i think the point that is trying to be made is that Tiki Barber had some fumbling issues, and corrected them. it has nothing to do with his ability. barber is a far superior back to Betts

So not only is Betts being compared to Tiki but now LT is being thrown in there too.

I guess I give up too then...

Assuming both stay healthy, Portis.
