He consistently gets hurt and pretty much the only thing he can do is run to daylight. He's a slashing style back who occasionally shows a little power, but not much...ever.
I hope everyone who thinks that "Clinton doesn't fit the system" and somehow that Betts does gets to see over the course of the season just how little he can actually contribute as a #1 back.
And, oh yeah, nice fumble, too...

Right on. I'm sick of hearing this or that "fits the system". Portis is the only one who has run well for us the last 3 years, he is our man, no questions about it. He is WITHOUT QUESTION our back, so can we just drop anything that has to do with us not having him as our number one guy next year.
