Portis Out To Prove Redskins Wrong

Portis had a hard enough time getting on the field to play FOR us, how's he going to play against us?

:lol:

You guys are all right. How can Portis think he's going to shock us? I mean i understand his mentality, but everything he is capable of we have already seen.

Fragile? Check

No breakaway speed? Check

Easy to bring down? Check

Stumbles over his own feet? Check.

No offense CP but you aren't going to be lighting up anybody's "d".......

Why are we trashing Portis? Yes, Portis made a comment about proving Redskins wrong, but nothing more.. In fact, he even said that Redskins is going in right direction with Shanahan - I don't see any negativity in that. Portis got released before his contract expired; it's like a freelance signing with a company to work for x years but then the company decides they don't need him/her anymore, they tell that person "Sorry, we don't need you anymore" and cut the contract early. You would think that person would want to sign with another company and prove that company wrong? That is exactly what Portis is trying to do..

Even though Portis slacked off at practices, partied, and goofed around (even we enjoyed it). He gave it all on the field, he ruined his body for Redskins aka Gibbs. He didn't complain about it. Gibbs could have used two system with Betts, aside the fumbling problem, he was a pretty good runner. But Gibbs didn't, and it practically ran Portis to early retirement. Not that I'm saying he will retire before this season but he will retires few years earlier than he probably would if he wasn't used so much.

Edit: It's all on media, they always take players' comments out of context and twist it around.

All on media? Please. Where in the article does it trash Portis?

I didn't mean that the media is trashing Portis - I could see why you did from my post, I typed it quickly without thinking.. I'm speaking in general, that media often takes something out of context and twist it around.. Only part of trashing Portis I am concerned is us.. Some of fans are trashing Portis as if he's a bad player.

Nominee for post of the year.

Portis will go down as one of the Redskins greats. Its was not his fault we did not win many games during his time in DC. He gave his all when he was on the field on game day. Portis is right we never had a franchise QB when he was here in his prime. I would love to keep Portis around for another year but he makes to much money and I know he would not want to take a big pay cut to stay here so we let him go. Good Luck Portis hope you dont play for any NFC East teams.
