1500 yards and putting the team on his back to take them to the playoffs 2 years ago wasn't enough "production" for you?! Are you kidding me?
I had just started to argue against what he did two years ago, but alas ive changed my mind. Rather than tell me what he's done, address the points that i made. He played well in our run to the playoffs. I consent that, this is his fourth year with us and i want to see less tv and radio drama and more leadership on the field. If infighting is his thing then he'd be better served elsewhere

So a guy who leads the team in rushing, carries the team to the 2nd round of the play-offs, and who's only injury problems resulted from !CHASING DOWN AND TACKLING A DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN A PRESEASON GAME! is not tough?

He needs to put up "decent numbers" this year? What, the 1200 and 1500 yards he gained the first two seasons don't warrant anything? Oh, right, he didn't lead the league in yards last year b/c he got injured !CHASING DOWN AND TACKLING A DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN A PRESEASON GAME!

What an inane post.
insane? I argue what he's doing off the field, you argue what he accomplishes on it. So again my point is more production. 1200 was nice though it seems that most good backs find this an obtainable number. 1500 is excellent. I still don't want the offield baggage. Insanity?

lol, two years ago? Ok then i want Riggins back...that was only a few years ago

Well, then let's just cut Campbell cause he didn't produce all that much last year.

Santana's numbers were down to. He's outta here!

Cooley I think his catches and TD's were down. C'ya!

Sellers? Why did we re-up this guy? His TD/touch ratio was WAY off from the previous year. What's the cap hit for cutting him?

Jansen, clearly lost a step last year. No point in him sticking around.

Samuels? Sure he made the pro-bowl - but it was as an alternate. Hit the road bitch.

And what about Sean Taylor, man did he have a down year - Better get his ass outta here before he drags the whole secondary down.

...

Sure we can disagree about the merits of the original trade, we can dispute the merits of CP's off the field statements, and we can even dispute his overall value to the team in terms of total contributions - but to assert that, because he had A down year, he better shape up is beyond laughable (Oh, BTW, did I mention that the only reason he had a down year is because he got injured !CHASING DOWN AND TACKLING A DEFENSIVE PLAYER IN A PRESEASON GAME!)


Stupid Stupid Stupid.

Right?

i agree on one thing Stupid... the point of the post was there's no point bringing up what he did in the past. That was never the orginal arguement, it has nothing to do with Clinton's diminished numbers, it has nothing to do with with his (lol) preseason tackle....the balance scale Clinton Portis is on is tipping out of his favor, and belive that this year is gonna be his most important with us

Who would you rather have, if not Portis? And, how would you judge them, if not on their past accomplishments?

So the more important question is: do you yield?

Joe it is not worth arguing. He clearly is misguided.
