Clinton Portis over Ladell Betts is a no brainer

Betts has stepped it up big time and if he gets the nod over Portis I'll be comfortable with that but he will have to live up to what we have come to expect from Portis. Either way just f'ing win baby.

I have been on other forums and this has to be the best Portis vs. Betts quote that I have read...Portis is a very good back and we know that he can carry the load but so is Betts and we know that Gibbs will field the correct player in the best situation for either back.

To make up things like Betts has a fumble problem just because he fumbled and you happen to not like people saying that Portis may need to be traded is ludicrous. Every back fumbles if given enough carries but I think that some people were chomping at the bits to see this happen. To actually be wanting something bad to happen to a Redskin player should make you re-think rather you are a Redskin fan or just a fan that happens to like a player that is on the Redskins team. A real fan would be rooting for each and every player on the team.
