Betts or Portis debate (merged)

There's some flawed points in your comments. First of all, Betts will not have anything close to a small contract next season if he keeps playing like he did Sunday. His contract will be less than Portis', but it'll more than likely be starting halfback money. And Betts is proving that he can do what he's always done; run edge plays and dump offs well, but suck at blocking and getting decent yards between the tackles. Two 100 yard games doesn't mean that Betts is all of the sudden a top tier running back. Portis is.

And I'm interested to know what psychology class teaches the thought proccesses of the backup NFL tailback. Unless your major is sports psychology or coaching, I'd get my money back.

All these Bett > Portis threads are retarded. When he's 100%, Portis is probably one of the top five most complete players in the league. The "What have you done for me lately" attitude that the fans of this team seem to have(a reflection of its owner) disgusts me. Portis is a team leader, an unselfish top tier back, and the face of the team. Why so many of you are ready to cast him aside is beyond me.

We heard the same thing 2 years ago when he ran for 118 against the Vikings. People were ready to dump Portis and crown Betts. (by the way I love Denny Green making 'crowning' such a hip comment)

I'm really not surprised we're hearing it again.

Read my post again, i never said I wanted to cut portis, in fact I said I don't want to cut him. I just said if we got the right price for portis, like two first rounders or sumtin like that, then I wouldnt mind making betts the guy, and even then I'd probably want to keep portis, I just wouldnt mind that much.
