CP MVP no doubt.

Portis = MVP

Has a nice ring to it. Not too shabby for a 3rd down back. (sorry I'll never let that die LOL)

To F...n small. Can't carry the load
System back.....Got a dozen just like him........ask Denver

AND personally.........I never did like Champ Bailey.
When you think about it, CP certainly has his quirks, and some of them kind of tick me off.
I really did not want to like him.
But, if someone asked me to create a..........[B]Football Man[/B] (I'm Offiss, and I support this message), he would be the model. He probably is some of these things, but on any given play he's up for Gashin' the D for about 25 the hard way, or decleating a defender 50 pounds larger.
He's an......eccentric thing, but dude is a Baller!

I don't want to get ahead of myself, but CP through seven games has more yards rushing for the season than the following players did at the same point:

1984 Eric Dickerson (finished with over 2,000 yards rushing)
1997 Terrell Davis (finished with over 2,000 yards rushing)

Re: Portis,league MVP up to this point?
 

at this point he is easily the MVP. He is averaging 115 a game and no one else is getting over 100. He is good for 1 TD a game and that is exactly what he is averaging. He is getting the ball more than any other player in the league but he is still getting 5 yards a carry which is second in the league by any of the legit running backs. Rivers could put up a case but his team is 3-4 and he is the leader. CP is a leader of the team and we are 5-2.

All i know is CP's pockets straight.

Re: Portis,league MVP up to this point?
 

soon he could slide past stephen davis for all time rushing yardage in franchise history.

Here's a good read about Portis. Matty, this article has a good shot of him breaking the plain in the endzone against the Browns.

Yeah, I just found that article on yahoo as well. Great read. My favorite quote:

"He’s wicked,” Zorn said. “Watch him without the ball. He’s not watching the game. He’s always participating in something. When he comes out for a breather, he gets a lot of oxygen on the sideline. The reason he does is because when he’s not carrying the ball, he’s going to hunt someone. And if you’re not ready for it, you will be tagged. He is a violent player.”
