Good point. Well Portis doesn't suck, but he is only slightly above average. He dropped a TD pass, and is not durable enough to break for big plays if he doesnt have a good #2 back complimenting him. The second highest paid Rb in the league? He doesnt make amazing plays, he is solid and thats it. Someone show me stats from his time as a Redskin to prove me wrong.

You guys that think "Portis sucks" need to try watching NFL Matchup, or one of the other shows that actually run game film. Tomlinson, Alexander, and Tiki Barber all have lines that create holes that an 18 wheeler could drive though. How many times a game is Portis actually able to get to the second level untouched? Twice, maybe? Anytime he does get a decent hole, he gets 8-12 yards on the carry, so I have a hard time blaming his lack of success between the tackles completely on him.
