whoa whoa whoa, i think u guys have the argument all wrong...it shouldnt be betts vs portis, it should be rock vs sellers. I think based on yesterdays game its obvious that Mike Sellers is a hall of famer to be and he deserves to carry it 40-50 times a game. I think its also pretty obvious that since portis fumbled the ball "his best days are behind him" and he has an incurable fumbling problem. It only makes sense that since rock recovered the thrash fumble on the special teams HE is the answer. He should split carries with mike sellers!

i mean honestly, is this really what it has come to? we start questioning a ratio of carries in a game that we obliterated our opponent??? Ideally, i want our team to go up by 50 points thru the air in the 1st quarter and all of our backs get 15 carries a piece for the rest of the game with their only responsibility being to run the clock out, but im pretty sure thats not gonna happen often. Can we just be satisfied with winning in the fashion that we did yesterday? How about we reserve our criticism for areas of the team that are actually shaky (which is a category our running game does NOT fall under)? I love being a skins fan but some of us are way too fickle and judgemental for my taste.
