I have to disagree, there is a big question as to who has had the more accomplished career. Portis has had the more accomplished career and I am not looking at him through Redskins colored glasses. Facts alone, Portis has 1411 total yards more than Westbrook, Portis has 17 more total touchdowns than Westbrook, and Portis has 142 less catches than Westbrook let's see what Portis would do if he had that many oppertunities to catch the ball. Why is everyone all over Westbrook? I don't think that he is all that great, IMO, he gets lucky alot of times. I mean just look at Westbrook's stats compared to Portis stats.

Brian Westbrook

Clinton Portis


Hopfully after looking at the stats most will see that we have one of the best backs in our division, he is all heart in the way he runs, blocks, and even catches out of the backfeild. And when you are looking at the stats don't forget to look at the first 2 seasons in the league where he averaged 5.5yards a carry in the WCO system...
