Even with his injury last season, Portis has about 300 more rushing yards and 20 more touchdowns than Bettis had in his first five years in the league, so it's not exactly an unfair comparison. The test will be to see if Portis can last another five seasons.
And tendonitis isn't a huge deal if it's dealt with properly. If it lingers all season, then it might be a sign of a bigger problem, but I doubt that will happen.
