Who's better, Clinton Portis or Tatum Bell?

excuse me: correction that would most correctly be 133"7" not 133t

l33t is perfectly acceptable.

l33t is perfectly acceptable.
I will brush up then but all i know is that

Portis is 1337/t"ER" than bell

I'm with Tafkas, I just figured out pwned, now what's this l33t??

Internet slang, I just can't keep up with you crazy kids! LOL

brunell could NOT have run it in, he was over 6 yards out an at least 2 faster LBs would have had a very good (unblocked) shot at knocking him out. I must have watched that replay about 10 times now.

and seriously, comparsions between a 4800yrd runner and a sub-700 yard runner after one good game is crazy... I mean, portis was gimped on the first play, couldn't rush to the outside (his strength) and had a 25+ yarder called back an still got 103 rushing and ~ 30 catching while throwing vicious blocks on linebackers.

Portis is a better leader, and blocker than bell for sure, and if he's a system back, how come he got 1300 last year and is on pace 1464 this year? (his "system back" counterpart is on pace for under 1200).

His contract is hefty, but bailey's is even worse, and i'm not sure there were any better offers on the table.


Exactly right Guy! Comparing the two is insane - and follows on the coat tails of what the media is going to say. i.e..... Len Pastabelly! So, I suppose that's good company, huh??! :vomit-smi

portis.

Wolfeskins, the signature is amusing but it's gotta go my man.

there are laws against those kind of signatures

Tatum Bell isn't half the total package that Portis is. Portis is a pure runner that can block and catch. Bell is a basically scatback that can't run without a hole, that was lucky enough to be drafted by Denver. Not to take anything away from his ability, but Washington always has more trouble with shifty backs than they do with hard runners.

After reviewing the highlights of the game on Extremeskins I am convinced that we got more from Portis than we expected . I saw Portis knock Al Wilson on his ass on several play action passes. I also saw Portis run,catch and run some more. Aside from his efforts to get in the endzone, he has stepped up as a leader of this team. He was dejected after the loss because he knew the fumble was a key play that turned into points. I'm sticking with Clinton for the long haul.

Bell hasn't been a factor in 20 of the 21 games that the Broncos have played since he was drafted. It's a tad early to try to compare Bell to Portis. Denver's "system" does make backs look better than they really are, but Portis is the real deal.
