Betts is solid, but injury prone. I feel our best chance to make sure Portis stays motivated is light a fire under his ass. We're only one play away from not having him, so a backup plan isn't bad. I think Clarett could be VERY valuable to this team.

Am I saying he should dethrone Portis? No. Should he get some playing time? Most definitely. How would you like to let Portis rest for a drive or two in the end of the 3rd quarter, then get him back out there with some fresh legs in the 4th. A backup breathing down his throats means he needs to perform or he's in trouble, that drives many players to their best (See Drew Brees)
