Clinton Portis over Ladell Betts is a no brainer

I didn't even bother addressing the "I'm tired of excuses" argument, because that person obviously hasn't watched a single set of downs when we've been on defense this season.

All we've GOTTEN from the D this year are excuses.

I guess we'll probably be talking about this all offseason. Portis isn't going anywhere.

Betts has had a great year no doubt, in fact I'm really puzzled as to why he didn't want to test the market. With the tear he's on he could have easily locked down a bigger contract and a starting job next year. If anyone really doubts that he is starting material you really need to have your head checked. Guys that have done far less have locked down starting jobs in free agency.

As great of a year that Betts has had, Portis is still the unquestioned starter. We have a great situation now with our backfield. Let's enjoy it and stop this nonsense about getting rid of Portis. In this day and age you need 2 quality backs.

One has to wonder if Ladell knows something we don't about CP's chances of coming back 100%. Either that, or he has lucrative incentive escalators in his contract?

It could just be, of course, that he wants to play here, for Gibbs, and probably retire as a Redskin. He wouldn't be the first or last guy to factor those things into his decision to turn down higher-paying offers to stay on his current job.

it is very unusual that someone really wants to stay here. but maybe its the start of good things to come

I"m sure his agent, to the extent possible, put out some feelers before Betts resigned with the Skins.

Oh , is that how it works ? taylor blows coverages all day < all year > , but he won us some games so its ok ? Guess he can spit on players , chase people around with guns , refuse to call his head coach , during HIS offseason ,,, but its ok ? When Portis lose three fumbles in NY , its not his fault when Moss head buts another player , its ok too ? Amazing how everyone is tired of excuses , except for the guys from the U ?? Maybe betts caused the fight between the U and FIA this year . Maybe Betts missed all those tackles and blew all those coverages ?


When has Sean Taylor or Santana Moss ever made an excuse? And what does Taylor's offseason have to do with how he plays? He is the best player on the team. Portis is a primadonna but he runs like he is 250 so I give him a free pass.

You know why I like players from the U? They know how to play the game correctly and they hold eachother accountable, something that our coaches have forgotten how to do.

The next time you want to have a mindless rant, feel free to beat your head on the wall.

He might have been last year, but sure as hell isn't this year.

Who is?

Who is?

The way we are playing this year I'm inclined to say Frost. I'm not sure if I'm serious or kidding, either.

You may be on to something there. He has been money in the second half.
