Getting stronger as the game goes on is a total myth. Makes no logical sense whatsoever.

Going into this year, Portis and Betts had similar career numbers. To date, it's clear that Portis is having the better season. So should he see more carries than Betts? Of course. But having an injured running back get 25 carries a game sounds like a bad idea.

I would throw more if our running game is going to get stuffed as much as it is.
