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 think it's a legit question to ask. Yes he's had a big workload, but I think the key is he's making the most of that workload. He's averaging 5.0 yards per pop, and 5 straight games of at least 120 yards is pretty damn impressive. He's averaging 118 per game, nobody even comes close to that.
If he was only getting 3.5 - 4.0 per carry I think your argument would carry more weight.
The Skins have leaned on him hard, but he's delivering.
Should Brees not be considered because they throw all the time?
