Anthony Chance, all of your posts in this thread are nothing short of asinine. First off, Portis has been durable enough to go for 1300 yards or more in every single season, and he's on pace to do it again this year. His yards per carry this year are back up to good levels, 4.3 per carry. That's more than enough to move the chains, note that Tomlinson is at 4.1 this year.
But the main reason you're so off base is because you COMPLETELY IGNORE the intangibles and dirty work that Portis brings. Who picks up blitzers twice his size? Who hustles and makes TD saving tackles on fumble returns? He can catch the ball, he can run, he's a great blocker. He is one of the most complete backs in the game, yet you just want to focus on running. If you're a running back and running is all you care about, first off, your QB is going to be injured an awful lot. Secondly, you're not going to win many games.
Pay attention to the little things man, there's so much more to pro football than the stupid statistics. How many RBs can do
this (click and scroll down to see photo) to blitzing linebackers? Enough said.
