Having Portis buys them time until the new line can develop

I'd say thats more of an argument for keeping JC around in the event that we draft a rookie QB in one of the first two rounds. Rookie RB's develop virutally overnight. You basically know what you have pretty quickly. I don't really see much upside to keeping Portis.

If we do end up keeping Portis then it should be in a similar capacity to Willis McGahee over the course of the last few years.
