GTripp0012 06-03-2008, 07:55 PM 3 of those 5 are really really poor choices. How about LaDainian Tomlinson and Jacob Hester/Darren Sproles? Or Brian Westbrook and Lorenzo Booker? Or Brandon Jacobs and Ahmad Bradshaw? Or what about Michael Turner and Jerious Norwood?
To make things worse, three of the teams he chose for poor duos are arguably better than those last three teams he chose for great duos. With 32 teams to choose from, you aren't supposed to be this wrong.
I get that it's an opinion article and everything, but good opinion articles make people consider other possibilities even if they disagree with the conclusion. This one just makes me wonder what NFL Jeremy Green watches.
irish 06-03-2008, 08:18 PM I'm not surprised either........at your post.
Why am I not somehow even a little surprised in your analysis of Betts...?
CP has lost many steps from his days in Denver will never return to form, and Betts is just weak. :doh:
I didnt say anything about CP other than he can pop out one more great year but likely doesnt have 3 great seasons in him. As for Betts, besides the few games when he took over for any injured CP and ran well, what has he done thats so spectacular?

And your basing your he can only pop out one more good year on what? Why would you think a 26 year old back that is coming of a great year especially with the o-line situation and healing from injuries ( and still producing 1300 yards rushing, 400 receiving...not bad huh) not be able to have at least three really solid seasons minimum left? Please explain that one.
And when Betts came in for 9 game starts in 2006 when CP went down, he had 1154 yards, 4.7 YDC not bad for a 2nd back, other than that not to much I guess. Just your generic middle of the road tandem......

Anyway, thats what has me worried is that he had a poor year at age 26. It was probably just the line, but I'm not sure.
That Guy 06-03-2008, 09:11 PM no parker/mendenhall either?
no LT/(random warm body)?
no dice.

Coming off the injuries he suffered in 2006 how in the world can you consider the OVERALL production last season of CP poor....? That makes no sense.
If you want to look at that narrow of a picture of his so called sub par YPC at 3.9 and 6 fumbles, not that these are great numbers BUT coming off the injuries in 06 I don't think anyone really knew how strong CP would perform last year to begin with.
Look at the window of his last 4 games leading us into the playoffs, of course with help from Todd and the rest of the offense and really good D. But CP came down the stretch hot when we really needed him.

oh well, i can't. nevermind then.

What poor year?
I wouldn't say he had a great year but it definitely wasn't a poor year.
He was 6th in the NFL in rushing yards, and 4th in the NFL in rushing TDs.

I wouldn't say he had a great year but it definitely wasn't a poor year.
He was 6th in the NFL in rushing yards, and 4th in the NFL in rushing TDs.He got the most carries (325), so he had the very best chance to be No. 1 in both categories.
6th in rushing yards with the most carries is very poor. You can't put all the blame on Portis here: it's hardly all his fault. But we do have to call a spade a spade.
