How do you know Betts works harder? And I find it hard to believe that Betts "cares more" when he fumbles in the red zone, and basically chuckles about it on the bench, while the defense tries to clean up the mess he just made.
And I don't even understand the celebrities comment. So one of the knocks on Portis is that he has a personality?
Eagles game last year in Philly. Portis goes down with injury. MB finally gets pulled. Season looks lost and hopeless at best.
The offensive line and Betts totally stepped up and "played thier guts out" for a cause. Jason Campbell made strides and hope Portis is part of that this new year.
I just think he's a little too caught up in the Miami night life for my liking. Just my opinion, nothing more.

If Portis gets off to a slow start he's riding the pine in 07'. Betts is not as talented but works harder and cares more! He knows that football players are not celebreties, does CP know that?
Betts is a better pass catcher out of the back-field and he returns kickoffs if you need him to, one for a touchdown last year.
Portis is explosive with his blocks and speed, just hope he holds up physically with the surgeries.
A star football payer and a celeb are one in the same. So that arguement is pretty stupid. CP has a great personality and has been great in the locker room. Betts is a good change of pace who will help keep CP rested. He's also a pretty good insurance policy if he can get rid of the fumblitis and stop injuring our O-linemen.

One asset the Portis brings is leadership. You need a few talkers on the team, especially when your QB is as meek as Campbell.
Portis plays every game like it is his last. Furthermore, he seems to do it compulsiveley and without judgement. That's how he got hurt last year. Other players know that better then we do and it takes the whole team up a notch. The Portis of 2006 was operating at about 2/3 capacity. I expect him to explode in 2007. I don't do F.F., but those of you who do should start figuring out how to get Portis right now. If they didn't have Betts to rest him he would get 2000+ yards.

tough back? Please, we got ripped off by getting him, he gets paid like a top back but never produces like one. He speaks out against the team's coaching, decision making, His biggest upside is his football savy, and that's not really sayin much. This year he needs to put up some decent football numbers, and minimize the complaints, or get out of town. Maybe find a job with the NFL network or something.
You're kidding with this post right?
1) He produced 2 seasons as a "Top back"
2) He is one of the few leaders on this team - He'll ask for the ball when the entire offense wants to run the ball more and keep things loose in locker room
3) He is one of the most talented RB's in the NFL and is just about to hit his prime
What would you deem "decent football numbers" ?

And he's 10 times the blocker Betts is...that would lead me to believe Clinton tends to put in a little bit of work...

Peyton Manning = Celebrity

Clinton Portis = Celebrity
Conclusion -If you get paid money to do hungry man commercials and have fans who don't watch football then you are a celebrity

Do you know Peyton Manning got paid 200k to show up at a birthday party?? LOL!! What a doosh bag.
TO, did you know he actually dropped more balls than he caught while forcing a hall of fame coach into retirment. (I hate the Cowboys so I'm happy about that one).
I'd rather not compare CP to either one of those men.
But if you have to.......um.........ok.
