So I guess you're saying there's no way Portis simply had a worse concussion than Westbrook? The records of both teams at this point is also a factor. At 3-9 there's no point in trying to get CP back on the field.

I am definitely saying that especially considering Westbrooks hits were harder and twice as many. Of course the brain is a fickle thing, and you never know how it will respond, but you really have to ask yourself who has ever missed 8 games with a concussion. It just doesn't happen. There is clearly more to this than either side (Portis or the Skins) are letting on.

Of course, that was part of my point. There is no point in him playing...what would he be playing for?
