That's retarded. Tiki is, and always will be a scat back. And he's only become an every down back in the last three seasons. He's broken 1500 yards TWO times in TEN seasons. Portis has broken 1500 yards, three seasons out of four. Tiki has 62 touchdowns for his career, while Portis has 55 in six less seasons. Tiki runs behind a line that creates holes you could drive an 18 Wheeler through. Portis has completely changed his running style to fit with the current scheme, and still managed to be successful, even with an inferior offensive line. If Tiki was running behind the Redskins line, he'd probably look worse than Portis. Portis is also the best back in the league without the ball in his hands. He'd rather stone a blitzing linebacker than chop block him.
Portis is one of the best pure runners in the league. The only player that is arguably better is Tomlinson, and it's by a very small margin.
