where is that 'portis is overrated' thread now?

The best part of the article from the Fox Sports writer was when he metioned that the Redskins traded for Santana Moss and that "Santana Moss is not as good as Laverneus Coles" Couldn't be more wrong since Moss has double the stats of Coles this year and helped lead the Skins to the playoffs!

Portis, who rushed for 1,591 yards last season, has two years remaining on the contract he signed as a second-round draft pick in 2002. Displeased with the $300,000 he made last season, he has hinted he might be a holdout when training camp starts unless the Broncos rework his deal.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

I'll throw my hat in the ring with, "what?!?"

Last year, Portis WAS an overrated back being paid 50 million over 6 years. Why can't you call him overrated anymore? The answer is in one of the WP article today, where Portis says that the main reason for his improvement was - he became more coachable this year. He actually listened to Byner over the course of the offseason and the regular season. That's how he became a better fit for Gibbs' system.

Geez, none of you will ever be satisfied unless he rushes for 2,000 yards or what? It wasn't ALL him last year and the beauty of what you said, HurryKaine, is that he put responsibility on himself. That is a true testament to this TEAM, to all the coaches, and especially coach Gibbs.

Last year it was coaching, it was the players, AND it was Clinton. Just give him some freaking credit and focus on Tampa Bay. With all they have done there are still doubters, cynics, and naysayers. How about be happy that we are in the playoffs, be happy that we aren't 4-12, or worse, and how about be happy that we have a team who doesn't give up? We have a team that leaves everything on the field, they believe in one another, and they believe in the coaches to put them in the best situation. It has been a long time since I have had the feeling of "we are still in this" regardless of how much we are down or "we aren't going to blow this", like we have done so much in the past.

We should all be happy fans right now because we have ONE more game while 20 teams do not. 20 other teams are going to be watching the Redskins play the Bucaneers. I am satisfied with a win or a loss because it just feels good to be rooting for my team in the playoffs.

I dont know if I'll be satisfied with a loss, winning is addictive, but its been a great year and im happy to still have atleast one more week to cheer my team on. I have said since the begining of the year that my first goal was for us to having a winning record in our division...and that came true as well.

i think we finally have the answer to question # 3

It's up whoever's stupid ass where it ought to be. There I said it! Anyone want to argue?

We can not keep on comparing ourselves to what other analysts thought we would be the beginning of this year. If you look statistically they were right, it seemed like the skins were gonna suck this year, and that portis was overrated and that moss being smaller and coming off injury would not do well. Of course I did not think so, and neither did u all, but that does not make them idiots like Sally Jenkins. They are actually looking at data and statistics in their decisions. Do not get me wrong, I am glad they were wrong, but it is just stupid to compare what is going on right now to what they said over and over again. Alot has gone on throughout the season, and we all know that things do not always turn out like they seem.
