Has he really though?

[URL="http://www.nfl.com/players/brianwestbrook/careerstats?id=WES537220"]Westbrook[/URL] has two 1000 yard seasons, [URL="http://www.nfl.com/players/clintonportis/careerstats?id=POR792942"]Portis has five[/URL].

Portis has him beat in just about every rushing category there is.

Westbrook has him beat when it comes to receptions, but I don't think that makes him more accomplished as a result.

Re: Portis or Westbrook?
 

Portis without a doubt. Westbrook can be dangerous but he's a poorman's Marshall Faulk. Portis is well on his way to Canton if he keeps playing like he has been. He's a true running back that can grind it for 4 quarters.

I have to disagree, there is a big question as to who has had the more accomplished career. Portis has had the more accomplished career and I am not looking at him through Redskins colored glasses. [B]Facts alone, Portis has 1411 total yards more than Westbrook, Portis has 17 more total touchdowns than Westbrook, and Portis has 142 less catches than Westbrook let's see what Portis would do if he had that many oppertunities to catch the ball. [/B]Why is everyone all over Westbrook? I don't think that he is all that great, IMO, he gets lucky alot of times. I mean just look at Westbrook's stats compared to Portis stats.

Hopfully after looking at the stats most will see that we have one of the best backs in our division, he is all heart in the way he runs, blocks, and even catches out of the backfeild. And when you are looking at the stats don't forget to look at the first 2 seasons in the league where he averaged 5.5yards a carry in the WCO system...

Re: Portis or Westbrook?
 

Portis is better. Id take him. I like westbrook, but just like previously mentioned, when he goes down, so do the eagles. Portis blocks ten times better as well. The only thing I envy of Westbrook is his ability to sell the draw, and the screen. No one, and I think there will be no contest here, no one runs the draw or the RB screen in the NFL like westbrook. He burned us quite a few times with it last year. Thats just one aspect though and I think we can manage to compensate for that.

Who was injured most of his first season as the starter. BRILLIANT!

Next.

Re: Portis or Westbrook?
 

Oh, and he had 4 TD's and 5 fumbles, and 4 of those were fumbles lost. Thats a Helluva horse you got there. With a back like him who needs a run defense.

wake up

Re: Portis or Westbrook?
 

How about we get this back on track? Yes, the Giants won the SB - well done. None of us want Jacobs, so enjoy him.

Between CP and Westbrook, I'd take CP. He's younger and I think he's a better all-around back. He may never get as many total yards as Westbrook, but when you add the blocking and north/south running, that tips the scales for me.

Re: Portis or Westbrook?
 

I would take Portis, he is a better all-around back. Portis justhas been being used differently then he was in Denver. Put his Denver stats against Westbrooks and then ask who would you have. Now that we wont have the jumbo 3 tight end sets look for Portis to return to his Denver stats more yards less carries.

Correct me if I am wrong but wasn't Jacobs hurt alot this year? And 2nd The last time the Redskins played the Giants what happened? and 3 Why would you bring up Brandon Jacobs when he wasnt even being discussed in the thread? Finally since when is Brandon Jacobs a true horse? He's more fragile than Portis or Westbrook so what the hell are you talking about?



NEXT! (What is the deal with that too?)
