Very good point, but I don't expect Portis to be one of the top 5 RBs of all time. I expect him to be one of the top 3 backs in today's league. I think he's come close to meeting my expectations. While he hasn't posted top 3 stats, that he has put up 2,300 yards in less than two seasons behind our offense (not just the line) is pretty spectacular in my opinion.
