No I wont, because I have been saying that all along, the problem is I don't see us changing our entire offense for him, which mean's he is not a conventional back, we do have some of the best lead blocker's on our team, there called TE's, and H-back's, personally I believe the biggest problem with Portis is Brunell's inability to pass, no one respect's it, if they did, Portis would be much more effective on quick draw's, and screen's, that would keep the D from loading up, but don't kid yourself now, Portis IS NOT A SPECIAL BACK, PERIOD! Can he play better than he has? Yes, but so could a lot of other back's.
