Better NFL RBs than Portis:
Adrain Peterson
Tomlinson
Westbrook
Brandon Jacobs
Marion Barber
Felix Jones
Ronnie Brown
Thomas Jones
Frank Gore
McFadden
Mendenhall
Ray Rice
Michael Turner
Forte
Chris Johnson
Jones-Drew
Cedric Benson (so far this year)
DeAngelo Williams

Others I'd rather have, but you could argue either way:

Jonathan Stewart
L. McCoy
K. Moreno
Slaton
A. Bradshaw
F. Jackson

Certainly not a top ten line, but for the most part they have been adequate. What hasn't been adequate is the playcalling or a QB who can complete passes to keep drives alive.

Jackson, Moreno are going to be good. Stewart and Williams are a great tandem. I haven't seen enough of McCoy but the word is that he is going to be a good one too.

Ray Rice is a beast too. You might even add Darren Sproles to that maybe list. That guy can change a game even though he might not be an everydown back.

Yes, there are alot of RB's who are better than CP. I just think he's slowed in the last couple years. He's gone thru 4 years of JG's offense. My god, he's lucky to be walking.

yea ya see he isnt a leader... hes just a roleplayer.

We dont have a leader. But nobodys to blame for that.

The dude is climbing in age and he could use the time to rest his wheels.

Disagreed completely.

Portis has always been a leader for our team, especially after the loss of Taylor.

We have plenty of leaders on the team, most significantly London Fletcher.

Cooley, Hall (yes, DeAngelo Hall), Andre Carter and Phillip Daniels also do a lot to motivate their teammates and keep their minds on the right track of working hard and trying to fix their mistakes.

Also, Campbell HAS become less of a shy guy and more of a vocal leader. I have seen if before and during several games this season.

I should have clarified.

I never saw a true leader in CP.

As far as the loss with Taylor... YES. But otherwise NO.

hes more of a COMEDIAN/funny guy.. who keeps everybody loose..
on top of being the main cog in the O Wheel.

bottom line is...
CP is still a solid RB. but we do need an explosive CP SPELL. (looking forward to the draft)
the mans getting older and its obvious hes being disrespected with a thread like this from his own fan base.

I highly doubt that we take a RB in this draft. We have to many other glaring needs.
Round one:Top Oline
Round two:Top Oline
Round four:Top CB
Rounds five and six: Even though there will be some tempting Tackles and Centers still available we will take some shit LBs that wont make the team.
Round seven: Maybe, just maybe we take another WR.

Plue we still have the amazing Ladell Betts.

Portis has become fat, happy and lazy. Word on the street sez he doesn't have more that five 100+ yard games left in him (in his CAREER, dudes) ... he's like an unproductive Manny Ramirez.
