Of coarse but know one wants to acknowledge the praises I have for certain players, they only want to hear about the negativity of some.
Bottom line most of the opposition to my point about Portis just proves that many here want to remain blind to the truth, they continue to look at our team through burgandy and gold glasses, refusing to acknowledge reality, and the reality is he is not a top 5 back period. If anyone thinks that he's better than the 5 guy's I mentioned, then take off the burgandy and gold glasses.
If you want to say he's a top 5 blocker in the backfield? By all means, but we could have gotten a cheap h-back to do that.
Kind of funny but Rock looked better than Portis running the ball when he had a chance, I will put the label of durable on Portis which allows him to compile stats, but he's not a top 5 back.
Here's a list of players I do like.
Ramsey, Cooley, Moss, Jansen, Thomas, Betts, Washington, Clemons, Taylor, Clark, Salavea, Griffen, Rogers, Springs.
I am up in the air about Samuels, Dockery, Rabach, Marshall - [who I do like but think we can upgrade].
Players I defiently don't like, Brunell, Arrington.
The rest serve a purpose for depth, can't get on them.
I still believe we gave up to much for Portis and could have similar results with other backs but his durability has made him palatable, he has transformed himself into a different type of runner since he left Denver, steroids can do wonders.
But he is not better than, Alexander, Johnson, James, Tiki, or Thomalison, and when healthy Mcalaster.
