Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

[quote=saden1;650883]Trading him is one thing but cutting him outright is totally irrational and unacceptable. Portis still has it. He's 28 going on 29, not exactly spring chicken, but he certainly has a few more years left and better than anyone else we have on the roster IMO.[/quote]

Trading is obviously better than cutting. But who will trade for Portis' fat contract? Likely the only practical way to get rid of Portis is to cut him.

Wow. JC just earned mad respect from me. Keep the dude on principle alone. Seriously, later for CP.

Well, getting something for him (trading) is certainly better than nothing (cutting), but like Lotus said, who will want to trade for him? For who he is right now as a player, his contract is laughable. Cap or not, no team is going to want to give up picks/players to take on that contract and locker room BS aging cancer.

I promise you, no one's trading for CP anymore than they lined up to trade for Larry Johnson.

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

I think JC could take Portis. I have more respect for JC now. There was a time when I said he was done. You know what, he isn't done. Portis is done. I don't think Shanny will tolerate a dirtbag prima dona like Portis on the roster. Unload his ass on Jacksonville or whoever will take his whack ass.

How the mighty have fallen.

[quote=SkinEmAll;650598]WOW! I cant believe JC fired off like that, hey maybe its a good thing, you know JC gettin a little fire under his ass. This isnt helping CP at all, its gonna get very very interesting.[/quote]

The problem with people being surprised by JC's response is that in our current culture we mistake "meekness for weakness". Don't be fooled and think this all of a sudden rose up in JC. It was there all the time, but finally the right buttons were pushed.

Meekness is not equated to weakness. Meekness is no more than power under control.

Good post.

I would add that JC likely kept it under his hat so as to not be an in-season distraction. This week the gloves can come off.

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

I think CP will still be a Skin. With Shanny at the helm he should be part of an explosive backfield next year with a Rookie... and probally Ganther.

Shanny will keep Portis in line. I dont think CP will be cut people...

I was thinkin keep Campbell but..
Who knows... maybe theyll both just stay and fix the issues here.

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

regardless of all the other bull crap, Portis is still the best running back on the roster. unless the skins come up with a better alternative, he is here next season

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

Portis is an old, washed up, dime a dozen runningback. Besides that, he is a low down, dirty, spineless piece of absolute shit. I am glad he had a season ending injury and I am only dissappoitned that it didn't cost him his career.

He doesnt deserve to be on this team. This team is made up of guys who care about each other. Portis was a locker room cancer long before he started breaking down physically. I blame Coach Joe for letting him get away with too much, but this is the final straw.

Get his worthless ass on a plane out of here. This guy is seriously too stupid for his own good. He had his prime like 6 years ago. I hate him and i want him gone.

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

Fuck Portis, what a bitch ass. I'm not a big JC fan, but good for him finally standing up for himself! HAIL SKINS!

Absolutely agree. I've always thought that about Campbell...

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

F Portis. We want Champ back now.

Re: Jason Campbells response to Portis
 

[quote=rbanerjee23;650814]Right...because me and CP are the same person. Never mind that I am on a message board that factors less than a hundredth of a percent in the team's psyche compared to one of the highest paid players on the team.

Lesson - there is a time and a place to bitch, this board is that place, to the media is not...[B]grow up[/B][/quote]

I run my own company Nephew...I'm grown enough! (Pockets straight my man)

BTW- I was not inferring that CP's comments to the media were professional or acceptable PR. What I was addressing is the blatant hypocrisy of some posters on this site. CP's comments (although aired in an inappropriate manner) were also blown out of proportion and taken out of context. He also is not the first person to question Campbell's leadership skills (side bar- I listen to the John Thompson show every week and hear CP supporting JC and his other teammates). Posters here bast JC (I am not particularly fond of him) then he has a couple of solid games and now he's our future and F--- CP (who has given ALOT to this team over his career). PR is one thing....the truth is another.

Alao, It appears that CP has reached out to JC to fix this issue...yeah, He's such an A--hole.
