Portis has never done that for us, in fact Portis' best 3 game streak this year was 274 yards.
In 05 was 353 yards.
In 04 was 388 yards.

Is Betts a better fit in this offense than Portis is?

Portis best receiving season was 236 yards for us, Betts already passed that with 315 yards right now with 3 games remaining.

(just for the record I do not beleive Betts is better at this point, but these numbers mean a lot.)

You kidding right?

Betts is a pretty good player....Portis is a gamebreaker. How many of those plays yesterday where Betts got to the second level of the defense only to have a DB tackle him would Portis have taken to the house. Betts doesn't make many people miss...when Portis gets to the 2nd level it's over.
