skins89moss 01-09-2010, 02:51 AM I would take Portis back but only if he restructures his current contract and take a pay cut to prove that he can be a top flight RB again. Put some incentives in the contract and let him earn his money. He would then refuse and we release him. Portis would do better on a team like the Pats where he would have to conform to the coaches and team leaders. I do think he has a few good years left to be productive.
tryfuhl 01-09-2010, 03:12 AM Lagarett Blount!!! I take him in the 5th or 6th round, he was at onetime proceeded as a top 2nd rounder.. Shanny can get him straight.
Honestly he's a guy that if I talked to enough I'd be comfortable with. Had it been just the initial punch it'd make it easier, but the continued tirade was a bit too much. The guy that got punched more than deserved it. After coming back from the suspension it didn't seem like he did much though, despite having been practicing with the team the whole time.
skinsnut 01-09-2010, 04:55 PM I haven't voted on this one because it is pretty tough.
Given good blocking, Portis is probably a 1300 yrd rusher...that is hard to replace.
I don't care what Denver did with a bunch of RBs...this is Washington and our line is completely different right now...so...if we cut him, we'd obviously have to replace him with someone not on the squad now...which means a trade for a player or a draft pick...but since his contract has a poison pill...that is not possible...so we either lose a really good player and the best RB blocker in the league for nothing or we keep him and tell him to keep his mouth shut.
Until we have linemen that can block like portis, we should probably keep him...screw the money...
Thinking as typing....maybe we could trade him for a starting lineman? and just pay Portis his bonus making him tradeable?
I am sure there are teams out there that have solid lines that need a consistent RB like Portis...at this point, I'd rather have a better line than Portis
SolidSnake84 01-10-2010, 01:55 AM Wow...I know you guys are upset about his antics but not wanting him back is foolish. Who is going to get you that 1000 yards? Who are the defenses going to focus on?
Portis is still a baller people and you'll realize what you're missing if the Skins lose him.
I think that's the whole thing. People won't miss him. And he doesnt get 1000 yards....he didnt even get 500 yards this season. Injury or not, he was shot physically...it's over.
Portis is garbage as a player and as a person. He does nothing here except take up a roster spot and a lot of undeserved money...
mlmdub130 01-10-2010, 01:59 AM he really died once he got here, he had over 3000 yds rushing his first 2 years in denver, and over 30 td's, and to think a coach would willing give that up shows how much he cares for portis, i used to want him back but he will be gone next year
Son Of Man 01-10-2010, 02:00 AM Portis' stats as a Redskin (prior to this horrible season):
2008- 342 carries_1,487 yards_4.3 ypc
2007- 325 carries_1,262 yards_3.9 ypc
2006- 127 carries_523 yards_4.1 ypc (std 7 gms: injured tackling after INT)
2005- 352 carries_1,516 yards_4.3 yds
2004- 343 carries_1,315 yards_3.8 yds
You don't throw away production like this from a guy with no off-field issues just casue he's an ass. You whip him into shape, get him motivated and get him on the field.

So when exactly did CP sleep with your girlfriend? Or boyfriend...if you live in DC?
SolidSnake84 01-10-2010, 02:26 AM You're defending him...i get that. and its cool.
But we have a new coach now and we are supposedly "rebuilding/reloading", so where does a guy like him fit in? He doesnt work out, doesnt practce, doesn't do OTA's or team meetings....so wtf is the point with him?
How do you get him motivated is a better question. Because his GUARANTEED Salary doesnt seem to do the trick.
And you don't see issues with his character?? 99% of America wanted Michael Vick to get a lifetime ban, but PORTIS defended Vick's action by saying what he did was "no big deal"...i dont care myself, but Portis admitted to dogfighting when he was growing up, so it not like he is a saint...no matter what you think
Chief X_Phackter 01-10-2010, 10:08 AM No, don't want him back next season. Release him, let him go corrupt and divide another team's locker room. He's been aight for us, but he really only gives 100% when he wants to. When was the last time you saw him turn back inside and try to get extra yards instead of just scamper out of bounds....it's been a few years. Bring in a couple young guys who are hungry and willing to be team players. With a better O-line and a better system, we'll be fine.
Paintrain 01-10-2010, 10:27 AM I voted no simply because of his production decline last year but I am curious to see him in Shanahan's system again. Also, the crap he pulled on Zorn he wouldn't DREAM of trying under Shanahan. If he's back, I'd anticipate he's going to be in top shape, be in attendance for 90%+ for OTA's and will be practicing on a regular basis. Plus his direct line to Snyder has been shut down by Shanahallen so that issue is moot.
