I think people need to read Mooby's post more carefully. He said he was joking about Betts being able to do everything Portis can do.

Betts isn't a great pass blocker, but Portis is. Portis isn't averaging 5+ yards per carry and he's on pace for another 1300 yard season with less than 10 touchdowns. But, Portis scares defenses nonetheless and I have to think he opens up the passing game. I would attribute at least some of our passing game's relative success to Portis; teams know we love to run and Portis is a threat so they don't cover the wideouts as well as they should.
