Who was getting sacked the entire year and you never heard too many complaints about it? Who was sitting out after a concussion supposedly sidelined him for the year, yet players like Brian Westbrook who suffered multiple concussions came back to play this year? I don't like this in fighting that is going on right now, but the Jason has battled and improved this year, you really can't question what he was about this year and there were plenty of times that he could have quit. Portis quit after the Atlanta game and there are multiple people on the team who really have questioned his work ethic (Sellers, Cartwright to name a couple).

There can't be separate standards for one player and then have the rest of the players follow a different path. Of course that was going to lead to resentment. This was all Dan Snyder's making and the reason that Portis is this way. Gibbs might have been able to coach Portis and get his respect, but once he left he didn't respect Zorn because Zorn wasn't an established head coach. Then Snyder stripped Zorn's authority and of course Portis ran all over him like he was an opposing defense.
