But I just had a thought today. Is Clinton Portis really that great a running back....Or do we just use him all the time?
What I mean is, are there other running backs in the league that are as good or better, who would be just as close to the record or even further along, if they were used as frequently as we use Portis?

I don't think you can say that using Portis frequently is the reason why he is having a career season. He isn't averaging 30+ carries a game, and JC has put up some very good numbers. Last week he went for 328 and Portis had 126.
The fact of the matter is that Portis is running well because he dedicated himself to Redskin Park this offseason. The line is run blocking extremely well, and we have a pretty balanced offenese. We may lean on the run game to get things going, but that is becasue it is effective.
