funny thing, you all said the exact same thing when people were doubting whether JC had the proper skills to make him a great qb at seasons beginning.
just grinds my gears when people call things "retard" or "stupid" around here. reasonable skins fans can disagree on alot of things and portis' value is one of them. the OP isnt proposing some CP for AP trade, or anything truly retarded.
whats retarded is giving CP such a contract that it makes it impossible to move him when the RB position is the easiest to fill. rookies come in and start right away. there are 20 other RBs in the league that could get as much or porbaly more yards for the number of carries portis has had here.
i like portis, hes done some great things for us but running the ball is the easiest thing to do. betts came in a few years ago and we didnt miss a beat. portis doesnt make people miss so really all he does is get the most yards our blocking and scheme will allow then he falls down (albeit usually forward).
portis doesnt create his own yards after first contact, alot of players could put up similar numbers or better given our O line and run first mentality the past 5-6 years. he gets as many yards as the Oline can clear for him, period. then he goes and bashes these same guys who he should be washing their cars and saying thank you to.
go skins!!
