Clinton Portis over Ladell Betts is a no brainer

Here is the bottom line. The team was in a position to win the game. Betts had the ball and knows that someone is going to try and strip the ball (that is no secret). He didn't make the play.


I AM TIRED OF EXCUSES. When you have a chance to seal the game, do it. It is that simple. Make the play.

Our team has been deficient in making plays this year that is why they are 5-10.

I don't care if the D gave up 6000 yards. If there are 2:00 left in the game and you have just broken into the secondary, hold onto the ball.

By the way, Taylor was embarrassed yesterday, that is fine. He also won three games for us this year. Without him, we are 2-13 and probably the most disappointing team of all time.

Oh , is that how it works ? taylor blows coverages all day < all year > , but he won us some games so its ok ? Guess he can spit on players , chase people around with guns , refuse to call his head coach , during HIS offseason ,,, but its ok ? When Portis lose three fumbles in NY , its not his fault when Moss head buts another player , its ok too ? Amazing how everyone is tired of excuses , except for the guys from the U ?? Maybe betts caused the fight between the U and FIA this year . Maybe Betts missed all those tackles and blew all those coverages ?

When has Sean Taylor or Santana Moss ever made an excuse? And what does Taylor's offseason have to do with how he plays? He is the best player on the team. Portis is a primadonna but he runs like he is 250 so I give him a free pass.

You know why I like players from the U? They know how to play the game correctly and they hold eachother accountable, something that our coaches have forgotten how to do.

The next time you want to have a mindless rant, feel free to beat your head on the wall.

He might have been last year, but sure as hell isn't this year.

The way we are playing this year I'm inclined to say Frost. I'm not sure if I'm serious or kidding, either.

You may be on to something there. He has been money in the second half.

The best player and who WILL be our player of the year will be Ladelle Betts hands down. Clinton will be back next year and maybe he will be our best player THEN but Betts has it now no matter what people think about him coming in and having the year that he had.

Statistically he probably is our best player this season. Of course I can't write that in this thread for obvious reasons.

+50 points for re-igniting a dying fire, BTW!
