So let's be specific: tell me about Portis' play at the goal line against the Rams. What happened, and why?

If you've seen the games, you can answer that question.

I'm waiting...

lmao how the hell would i know

what happened on the very first play of the game? what happened on the very first play of the 3rd qtr in the 3rd game of the season?

Fine. Then I am left to repeat:

You really have not seen Portis play this year! Yet you argue with those of us who have seen every Portis carry this year?

You have not watched Portis play but you still feel justified in telling people who have watched every play that they are wrong.

What a loser.

I'm almost prone to seconding that. I'd really like the see empirically based studies which proves what he's saying as fact.

Well then you need to stop posting then, or stop making arguments you can't back up. Otherwise you're just basically spamming the board with your non-sense. I mean we don't expect everyone here to be a game analyst, but the whole pulling things out of your ass does get tiresome.

lol im just as welcome to post here as you are

just because you disagree with what i say doesnt mean im wrong

i havent seen a valid argument yet to tell me why portis should sit and betts should start over him other than a bunch of disgruntled fans complaining about the team and blaming a scapegoat for the team's failures

[CantonLegend]

betts is older than portis.....hes right at the age where production drops off right?

betts has less yardage than portis this season even tho betts is clearly better? i dont understand that either

betts was given his chance to be a starter but since portis' arrival in washington he has yet to relinquish his position

[Swarley]

The difference is that Betts workload has been considerably less that Portis' in his career. So although Betts may be older in age he's much younger in terms of wear and tear. Not arguing one way or the other, just saying.

I always laugh when fans from one team start "telling" fans of another team what is going to happen with the other teams players.

Nevertheless in 2006,
when portis went down, Betts started 9 of the 16 games and had over 1100yds rushing. While it was a horrible year, could Betts have gone for 1800+yds rushing had he started the entire year and would it have made a difference in the season?

Who knows, but not bad for a backup and only starting half the season.

Just a little food for thought.......

Isn't it hilarious?

The drop off in production for a RB is not just based on age, but age + number of carries. While Betts may be older than Portis, Betts has not had the same number of carries (and therefore the same amount of punishment) than Portis has. So in this particular fact that you are bringing up to "make your case" you are WRONG. Sadly, you'll just laugh it off and put more pictures of clowns or some other crap.

Well this is a naive simple-minded argument which I'll disprove, however I'm sure you'll laugh it off or something.

Many people are making the argument that Betts has made a more significant impact with his running this season than Portis has. While Portis (494 yds) may have more yards than Betts' 205 yds. (since he has played more games than Betts); Betts in two games has had a higher per game rushing yard average (4.1, 4.7) than Portis had in the first half of the season, and he has already doubled the number of TDs (2) that Portis scored (1).

Ok, this is where you have to do this moronic thing of being specific about your claims and mention facts that support your argument. So allow me to make the provide the following information:

- Betts was drafted in the Spurrier regime in the 2nd round of the 2002 draft. A RB by the name of Stephen Davis was still the RB during that season.
- In 2003, the team brought Trung Canidate to be the RB (if memory serves me right), Betts only played 9 games that season and ran for 255 yds, almost half of what Canidate produced (600 yds) in 11 games.
- By 2004, Joe Gibbs decided to bring Portis in the blockbuster trade, Betts was a leftover from the Spurrier era.

Now Betts did have the chance to become the starter in 2006 when Portis went down with injury, and had a 1,174 yds season. However, this is when Portis was in his prime, and of course the team would not get rid of Portis at that stage.

So given this information, I don't understand where you see a situation where Betts was even given the chance to be the starter...save for 2006, in a year that he actually gave the front office a reason for him to be the starter.

You keep saying that you have the right to post and express your opinion...this is the only part in which you are correct. It is my opinion that you do not bring any type of educated discussion to this forum. You keep making arguments without any type of facts or other information to back them up, you dismiss any counter arguments made by people, even when they prove you completely wrong.
