Much of the distention associated with Portis is not centered around his paying ability. His abilities and production on the field [at his position] goes unmatched except for one other player. The whispers about Portis has mainly been in reference to his antics and his uncanny ability to create controversy, traits some of his fanbase gradually grew weary of.
Absolutely. I think his legacy here would be much different had his agent refused to allow him as a guest on the John Thompson show...

With time, he'll be remembered as a character & a great player, which will make him somewhat of a DC legend. I don't think he said much that people will remember in 10-20 years.

Yeah! I almost forgot about that.

Let me change that to "his legacy would be a little different..."

I just saw on ESPN that Portis is doing or did a work out for the Pats. You know after watching our new RB I realise how slow CP really was.

Vinny and the Redskins gave up Champ Bailey and a 2nd rounder for him and then cut him after a few years. What is there to prove wrong? Helu and Royster are looking good, granted it is pre-season and Clinton hasn't found a home yet. I think he proved himself wrong.

You really shouldn't post any negative comments about the guy other than injuries. He obviously played all out when he was on the field and was one of the Redskins' best players the past 6 years. It's a shame he never had a feared passing game helping him out.

I can't knock CP, he was the only thing running right on our offense other than Cooley for a long time. Gibbs ran the shit out of him, and he still ran for Zorn, and decently for Shanny. THe guy was a trooper, but we did need fresh legs, so it was time to part with him. He will find a home, and if he can get/stay healthy be a productive back. I can see him as a 3rd down back for the Pats.
