Not quite. On the field Portis does his job and doesn't mouth off or show anyone up. TO is constantly trying to be the center of attention, he complains about not getting enough passes his way, he says Romo plays favorites with Witten, and never takes any blame, etc.

What do you call the "sulking and pitty" faces vs. the Lions and Ravens?

Portis has not complained this year about not getting the ball? HMMM shale we go back or you can just go to the last Portis thread.

I think he was just speaking in generalities, just saying in this league and particularly with this team you should always "expect the unexpected"

Shocking: would be JC throwing a pass with a little "touch" on it.


Not Shocking: CP's Mamma kick'in the crap out of Vinnie if trade rumors surface.

he has no touch but could develop into a top notch second stringer IF we are patient with him

How about throwing a ball into tight coverage.

There's two things in the world that are 100% true. The clock will strike 12 twice a day and Clinton Portis will be a Redskin in 2009.

Also, Portis is not only our best RB, but our best blocker, which says more about our OL.

people can knock Portis all they want, but i know three things:

1. Portis gives 100% on Sundays. Players notice that, and it should motivate them to give 100% as well.
2. Portis may lack discretion, but he has never said anything on the JT Show thats not true. Alot of what he said, really NEEDED to be said, whether he was the right person to do it or not.
3. The Redskins are a MUCH better team with Portis than without him. He is the best all-around back in the NFL right now.

First, let me clarify something before I post. I am an avid Redskins fan! Let's try to be a football mind and not a homer! Are you saying that T.O. doesn't give 100% on Sundays? Stuff that Portis said on the air should NEVER be said whether it is true or not! And I cannot even comment on Portis being the best all-around back in the NFL!!!!!!!!!!

Owens doesnt give 100% on Sundays anymore. Its known that he's started to give up on routes. He also complained that he didnt get enough balls when over 50% of the plays were designed to go to him. Portis has complained, but his complaints have been accurate. Also, Portis has never come CLOSE to TO when it comes to the level of his complaining.

If you can name me a running back who is as good as Portis is running the ball, catching the ball, AND PASS-BLOCKING, i'd like to see it. There are definitely better running backs for the first two i mentioned, but not the last one. There is not a single 1000yard back in the league who is as good in pass protection as portis. Not one.

I think Portis has more potential to disturb the team with what he's doing on the show than what TO is doing or saying. But the two can not be compared. They both give 100% anyone argue with that is not a fan of football but only a Redskin fan

I don't see anyone questioning T.O.'s effort on the field. The debate is over who is a bigger distraction/cancer. T.O. or Portis. I think the answer is pretty clear.

I dont think its as clear as you want it to be. TO does say stupid stuff about team mates but if memory serves, CP publically threw his O line under the bus earlier in the season. He also tries to publically undermine the head coach's authority (I dont recall TO doing that but I might have missed the quote) which IMO is much worse. Of course CP knows he can do this because he knows he's DS's favorite and can say/do what he wants (which also cant be good for locker room morale).
