Portis Overrated?

I'm guessing you thought the world of Trung Canidate too.

I wonder why Champ wanted out

That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Tatum Bell compares more to Trung Candidate than Clinton Portis does. I could care less what Tatum Bell did to us. That doesn't make him a good runner. That post doesn't even make sense.

Champ wanted out cause they lose all the damn time. I've gone to bat for Champ earlier on this site and you didn't even make your first post based on the trade. You're not even consistent in your arguement.

definitely true

candidate and bell both can't carry a big load or block...they're both just little fast guys

You tried to point that out drives stall when we give the ball to Clinton Portis. I have a question for you. How many drives go well when we let Mark Brunell drop back all the time? He hasn't had a consistent game in weeks and he looked bad against the Rams. So tell me again how they shouldn't run Portis.

How dare you question Brunell. He is one of the best things that Washington has seen in years at the QB position. Just because he's not throwing for 300 yds and 3 TDs every week does not make him inconsistent. Gibbs never sends out many options for Brunell, he is stuck on this maximum protection thing. Brunell seldom make stupid mistakes like many of the quarterbacks in the NFL, thats why he has one of the best interception per attempt ratios.

Thats what makes a QB good if you ask me, he should lead the NFC in the Pro Bowl hands down.

I'll bet his numbers would be better if he were given the opportunity to call his own plays.

Yeah, man, 156 yards passing...that's what it's all about, but he didn't throw a pick, so that makes it okay. He hasn't thrown for over 200 yards in 3 weeks and they're 1 and 2 in that span. He's also 3 and 6 in his last nine, but you'd write that off because he doesn't turn it over. Whatever man.

Do you prefer Heath Shuler, John Friesz, Gus Frerotte, Jeff Hostetler, Trent Green, Brad Johnson, Rodney Peete, Jeff George, Tony Banks, Kent Graham, Shane Matthews, Patrick Ramsey, Danny Wuerffel, Tim Hasselbeck and Rob Johnson.

Like I said he is the best thing that we have seen in years

[jdlea]

Yes, I prefer Brad Johnson and Trent Green.

I give up the Redskins are going to the Super Bowl and Clinton Portis is a Hall of Famer.

Cause that's what I said. Didn't I say Champ wanted out cause they lose all the time? That's right in the quote that you put in your post. I, however, do believe that Portis will be a hall of fame back by the time he's done.
