Mort on the Portis trade rumors

I don't understand how anybody can think Portis is expendable now that Betts had 1 good year. Every good team that Gibbs has ever had, he used 2 backs. I don't remember The early days with Riggins, but in 87 it was Bryant, Rogers,and Smith. In 91 it was Byner and Ervins. Why does everybody think that Portis and Betts Cant coexist.

This is a strength on our team. But it would become a weakness (depth) if we let one of them get away.

Just an FYI the other back was Joe Washington....

Um...ok

Yeah we really need help in the negativity area.

Shoot trade everyone that we can, were not winning with any of these overpaid bums. I would rather lose with young inexpensive talent than over priced over the hill bums. Always being over the cap and having our butts kicked year and year out. We have stunk for the 12 of the last 14 yrs im sick of it.

Its hard not to agree with this because what the redskins have been doing since Dan Snyder took over is not working. The player signings are bad and the draft is almost non-existant. I'd love to see the Redskins completely revamp the way they do business into more of the Steelers, Pats mold.

How ironic that right after you post that, Irish posts something.....

You'd rather lose with young inexpensive talent? Why? What do you care how much the Redskins spend? As long as they're within the NFL guidlines I really don't care how much they spend. I do however care about the team's performance. If mistakes were made in player or coach evalulations then they need to be addressed. I for one would be extremely disappointed if the Skins traded Portis and kept Ladell "I can't hold on to the ball when it counts" Betts.

do you guys realize how many football fans wished their teams owner would spend money? snyder isnt a football man, but i dont think anyone would argue he is trying to do what it takes to win

Seriously, I couldn't agree more. It's just stupid to think we would get rid of Portis....

That said, I'm not sure theres anything the Eagles could really do to better their team. They are so strong throughout that roster, it's very impressive.

If your personel guys know what they are doing, your owner doesn't need to spend a bunch of cash.

NOTE TO THOSE WHO THINK A TEAM CAN'T HAVE A HEAD COACH/GM: The personel guy of the Iggles is Andy Reid.

Its obvious that the redskins personell guy does not know what he's doing.

Clearly because we don't have any good players at all.
