This is gonna be a common debate for the rest of the season because of the simple fact that Betts has been producing. Portis seemed unproductive when he played this year but I think the injuries played a big part in his role this season. If you look back to last year, Portis was the backbone of the team when they strung off the 6 wins in a row. I think there is no question that Portis is better than Betts. Betts has been getting some great blocking up front and I think it would be exciting to see Portis back there with those same holes opening up because he is more explosive, quicker and he can fight for the tough yards like Betts. I think putting Betts higher than Portis at this point is unfair to Portis and I think its the wrong move.
