Portis

Portis is horrible in goal line situations....look at the past 4 years.

your stupid?

Portis is a good back.
BUT, he doesn't hit the home run anymore.
He doesn't get past the last man.
And he's getting older.

Here is a list of the backs that i think are better:

o Peterson
o Westbrook
o Williams
o T. Jones
o Johnson
o Slaton
o Forte
o Stewart
o Turner
o Gore
o Parker
o Jackson w/ healthy
o Jacobs
o Smith (yeah from the Lions)

---------------------------------------------------
i'm not saying CP isn't good, but i think he gets more credit then he deserves
i think plenty of backs could do as well if not better then he does with our offensive line-

Just being honest

Portis is better than a lot of those guys there, simply for the fact that he can play banged up and we still get some good production out of him. Parker, Jacobs, Jackson, and Gore can't take the pounding Portis does, so they miss a lot of games. Forte plays in a rather shitty division, and doesn't have Portis' numbers anyway, so how can you compare them? Only guys on the list that you probably can say are better than Portis are Peterson and Westbrook, and that even is riding on a thin line. Get Portis behind a healthy young solid O line and he would be the rushing king now for sure and we wouldn't be 7-7.

AND THIS LIST ABOVE ME IS PATHETIC...
I agree with some. But definetly not the majority...for you have aging players on your list. And most the RBs you named are Young Talents who havent near started the resigme of a CPs career.
Non Valid.



How can you call the list pathetic yet agree with some?
CP doesn't have to 'bad' for these other backs to better, savvy?

Anyway, like i said before this is like my opinion. Just like its your opinion that CP is a top 5 back.

Back to the list:

o the only aging players on my list are: Brian Westbrook (29), Willie Parker (28), Thomas Jones (30)

o the young backs on my list have all had good, if not great rookie season AND have all shown the ability to beat the last defender


Imo any of the above backs would have done an equal or better job then CP,
i don't have to consider your opinion 'pathetic' to disagree that's what's great about watching football...the ability to have informed discussion...

When all of you signed up for this forum you agreed to the terms of service. One of them was no hateful comments. Calling people retards, while sounding like third graders, is extremely hurtful and demeaning to people with special needs. And yes, it is hateful. Quoting Robert Downey Jr. is another thing. Okay, so you think Going Full Retard is quotable. I get that. Just wondering if you ever gave it a minutes thought to people with special needs and their families and how those words affect them. Shouldn't be that you have to have a family member with special needs to understand the pain, but seems to be that's how it is.
Slurs and stereotypes hurt, any way you look at it.

Stuart Smalley in the house ya'll :silly:

Welcome to the board hm. Just remember some us think being called retarded is funny. My wife calls me retard, some of my employees call me retard... I sure as hell don't mind if someone on a blog calls me retard and especially if it's humorous.

most of my above post was a quote of another. lets not forget CP is one of only two in NFL history to have two different 5 game streaks of 120+ yards, as long as he doesn't then kill his ex and her dude and the rob someone he is ok in my book

This thread is starting to get a little too personal, and has run its course. On to the next mindless debate.
