Portis or Westbrook?

Portis. As good as westbrook is, he is not the everydown between the tackles november back CP is. If the Iggles could have run the ball they would have won and SB or two.....besides if we had west brook ....we would be the iggles =/

Thou shall not covet thy divisional rival's players.


That's just one of the ten Red Commandments.

Amen to that. Back in the day, would you take Dorsett over Riggins? Not a chance. Brian Westbrook is a D.C. native and a damn good player though. If we had him, we wouldn't need to use his brother in preparation for the Eagles. It would also be cool to have another pair of brothers after having Nic and Chris Clemons, but I'm taking Clinton Portis. If the talent-level is close, I'm taking the guy who's already a Redskin. Portis is going to have a huge season in 2008.

It would be, easily Westbrook in the past couple of years but if all indications are correct on how we are going to use Portis in the new offense, I think that I will have to go with Portis this coming season.

I would rather have Portis just based off his thursday pre - game interviews. Also Westbrook is an Eagle, I can't just start pretending to like him for the sake of this board.

I don't think there's any question Westbrook has had the more accomplished career. I still love having Portis on our team though and don't think we need to compare him to other running backs who may or may not be better. He is one of the core personalities of the Gibbs II Redskins, and I expect he will have quite a role to play in the Zorn era as well.

Has he really though?

Westbrook (http://www.nfl.com/players/brianwestbrook/careerstats?id=WES537220) has two 1000 yard seasons, Portis has five (http://www.nfl.com/players/clintonportis/careerstats?id=POR792942).

Portis has him beat in just about every rushing category there is.

Westbrook has him beat when it comes to receptions, but I don't think that makes him more accomplished as a result.

Portis without a doubt. Westbrook can be dangerous but he's a poorman's Marshall Faulk. Portis is well on his way to Canton if he keeps playing like he has been. He's a true running back that can grind it for 4 quarters.

I have to disagree, there is a big question as to who has had the more accomplished career. Portis has had the more accomplished career and I am not looking at him through Redskins colored glasses. Facts alone, Portis has 1411 total yards more than Westbrook, Portis has 17 more total touchdowns than Westbrook, and Portis has 142 less catches than Westbrook let's see what Portis would do if he had that many oppertunities to catch the ball. Why is everyone all over Westbrook? I don't think that he is all that great, IMO, he gets lucky alot of times. I mean just look at Westbrook's stats compared to Portis stats.

Hopfully after looking at the stats most will see that we have one of the best backs in our division, he is all heart in the way he runs, blocks, and even catches out of the backfeild. And when you are looking at the stats don't forget to look at the first 2 seasons in the league where he averaged 5.5yards a carry in the WCO system...

Portis is better. Id take him. I like westbrook, but just like previously mentioned, when he goes down, so do the eagles. Portis blocks ten times better as well. The only thing I envy of Westbrook is his ability to sell the draw, and the screen. No one, and I think there will be no contest here, no one runs the draw or the RB screen in the NFL like westbrook. He burned us quite a few times with it last year. Thats just one aspect though and I think we can manage to compensate for that.

both are fragile little whimps

give me a true horse like Brandon Jacobs anyday
