Portis

When is this guy going to stop getting a pass for his lack of production?

JC gets hammered for being mediocre, Portis is nothing but a mediorce RB in my eyes. No balance, no ability to make guys miss in the open field, no ability to hit the homerun, horrible in short yardage....bottom line he isn't a PLAYMAKER.

Jason La Canfora has an article out that in Portis's last 266 caries he doesn't have a carry over 30 yards.... that is a shocking stat IMO.

Added to all this is the fact that he is a semi-cancer in the locker room.

I don't understand why this guy gets a pass while JC gets hammered constantly.

He's gone. Should be anyway. But with Vinney at the wheel anything could happen.

I agree he should be gone...but it seems like Portis can do no wrong in VC and Snyder'e eyes.

.

With his contract he's simply not going anywhere anytime soon.

Funny how when the OL was playing so well earlier in the year Portis was playing well, now that we're banged up and not playing well up front his game is suffering as well. That's just how it goes. Nobody should get a pass right now but I think we need to stop singling out individual players and realize this is a team issue.

I agree.

In the immortal words of Robert Downey Jr., we've gone "full retard."

Can the moderators move this thread to the "Retarded" forum?

I agree.... my point is that it seems like Portis is the only guy immune to the critics.

Everyone seems to think he is the lone bright spot, I disagree.

My critique of Portis doesn't encompass just this season, I'm talking about his whole career as a Skin. And I know he has great numbers, something just seems to be missing.

but you are right, $20 million guaranteed....he isn't going anywhere.

To all the "retard" commentators.... do you even watch other NFL games? Compare Portis to 85% of other backs in the league. He is slow, has no lateral quickness and is absolutely horrible in the open field. ZERO balance, always falling forward.

He is average at best.

Now this is getting a bit crazy, Portis when healthy and playing behind a good line is a quality running back and he blocks his ass off as well.
