Campbell's "shocking" statement and the offseason

[skinsfaninok]

And don't be "shocked" if we trade Portis, he is almost 28 and you can find solid RB's in the draft... (Kno'Shawn Moreno) Guys like that... I love portis but it's not like he puts up HUGE numbers every season, he can be replaced.

I would expect an NFL player like JC wouldn't be shocked by anything. Well, I guess losing the starting job would be shocking to him....Skins drafting a QB would also be shocking.

The only thing that would be remotely close to shocking is loosing Cooley or Portis.

I'm starting to think Portis could be gone as well. I disagree about his numbers. With the offenses (being so one-dimensional and predictable) he's played on since he's been here his numbers are huge IMO. I don't want the team to trade him but if he must go to make the team a legit contender...see ya CP...it's all about winning the Super Bowl and I'm tired of waiting for #4!

HAIL!!

Look no further than his cap figure, he's definitely coming back in 2009. His cap hit is over $13M.

Trade Portis and Moss and try to get TJ from Cincy.

And how is TJ any more effective than Moss when there isn't anyone that scares opposing defenses at the other WR spot? Cincy has 2 legit speed demons (Chad Johnson & Chris Henry) that stretch the field and make TJ's role as a posession receiver much, much easier. I definitely don't see TJ as a #1 receiver. He would be a downgrade from Moss in that role.

Maybe this should be the first post of every thread.

If we didn't knock on Portis's door every offseason and ask him to sign a new contract, so we can get under the salary cap, and then pay him a new signing bonus we might have been able to move him.

...being that we're handcuffed to him like Damon Wayans and Adam Sandler Bulletproof-style, we're moving him anytime soon. Also I hear that Dan Snyder has a close relationship with him.


BTW, I like Portis and don't want to see him go. I wouldn't mind a change-up back though in the draft. IMO Portis has trained to develop a running style that would make his career last despite his OL. If you notice he doesn't do any juking right before contact like he used to in '04. I think he has his longevity in mind, which I don't fault him for.

I understand what everyone is saying, but Portis is just about as bad as T.O. in the "chemistry" department!

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?

So facial expressions are on par with calling out your teammates or throwing a fit on the sidelines?

Trust me, I am not saying Portis is as bad as T.O. (not even close), but enough is enough with this guy. Every year it is always something. People say well "Portis is tough and a great blocker. He just wants to win!" T.O. just wants to win too, but we all criticize him. He just doesn't do the correct way. What's the difference if it is done on the field or on the John Thompson Show?

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.
