Betts or Portis debate (merged)

[jdockser]

Portis should be dealt in the offseason. betts and tj equal his production and would be MUCH cheaper. we could get a high round draft pick and loosen up some cap. could use that to fix our scrub secondary

ive been saying that for a long time i totally agree running backs are a dime a dozen

Here, i'm gonna say it and hope that you change your mind.

There are a lot of asinine statements made on this board, and that is one of them. Teams respect Portis a hell of a lot more than they do Betts and Duckett, and for good reason too.

that's just stupid...we really are some of the most fickle fans. So far, I've heard at different times...Fire Gibbs, Fire Al Saunders, cut Janson, and now Cut Portis...people need to think about what got us into this mess...doesn't ANYONE remember Trung Canidate???!!!!

You are correct. Defense got us there and won the TB game. If the right deal is on the table, and we could get some draft picks, I would trade Portis in a hearbeat. Betts, Duckett and Cartwright could handle the load. People forget Betts is a 2nd round draft pick and should be the starter anyway. Normal teams have their 2nd rounders, that have been around while starting. Not playing 2nd string.

Now I've heard it all!

[Skins fan 44]

Yeah this is a good idea lets get rid of our starter and use a back up. It sure worked when we got rid of Davis and got Canidate.

It doesn't have to be explained if you saw the games. He was the entire offense down the stretch.

so i guess he was the one with 1500 rec yards and 23 passing tds.... and he returned the fumbles into the endzone and plays def.
