Jsarno presents a very simple question, and a very valid one. Is Ladell Betts a better runner for this offense than Clinton Portis is? Don't dismiss the question, answer it!

It's hard for me to see Betts being a better runner than Portis in ANY offense. Truth is that Al has had much success running the ball no matter who was in the game. When we had both Portis and Betts, we had the carries being realtively split, so neither of them collected many 100 yard games. This season alone, they have been almost dead equal in effectiveness when in the game. But next year when Portis is a) healthy and b) fresh, I think that Portis will post a much better 07 than Betts will.
