Tiki Barber is a far superior back to anything Betts has EVER shown, for one. Two, why does everyone seem to think that Betts is "more of a Skins style runner"? Gibbs doesn't think so or he would start Betts. Portis runs harder, blocks better, fumbles less, and gets in the end zone more. Oh, and he's more durable...and YOUNGER. Betts can't stay healthy and fumbles in HUGE situations. Betts is more patient and ran well through holes you could drive a truck through. I liked the way he produced at the end of the year, but he's nowhere near the runner Portis is and he's not close to Tiki.
