Re: Betts better than Portis?

you need 2 above average backs to be successful in this league.

or at least one really good one, and one average.

Anybody who thinks Betts is better than portis needs to have their head examined.

Re: Betts better than Portis?

So, after six pages, who is the better back, Betts or Portis?

Re: Betts better than Portis?

this argument is null... we have both for the foreseeable future and we're going to use both equally in saunders' offense next year. both careers will be extended b/c of each other.

That's so ironic, because that's who I thought you were talking about all the time.

That is assuming that Portis would have hit those same holes as Betts has done. He is really making quick dicisions and hitting the holes very fast.

It's not that tough when the line creates holes you could drive an 18-wheeler through, like they did on Sunday.

Re: Betts better than Portis?

Portis:
Year Team G GS Att Yds Avg Lg TD 20+ 1st
2002 Denver Broncos 16 12 273 1508 5.5 59 15 11 79
2003 Denver Broncos 13 13 290 1591 5.5 65 14 13 76
2004 Washington Redskins 15 15 343 1315 3.8 64 5 5 65
2005 Washington Redskins 16 16 352 1516 4.3 47 11 6 74
2006 Washington Redskins 8 7 127 523 4.1 38 7 3 29
TOTAL 68 63 1385 6453 4.7 65 52 38 323

THat makes an AVERAGE of 4.08 yards per carry as a REDSKIN. notice he got 5.5 in denver. not a small point. almost 35% more effective in denver. while he scored 29 TDs in 2 seasons in denver, he's scored 23 in 3 in washington.

I like the stats, but what is your point? I think we all know he has not produced those all-world numbers he produced in Denver. But he's been no slouch.

Re: Betts better than Portis?

Yards per carry isn't an isolated stat like 40 times. It depends on so many other factors (blocking, QB, passing game, defense even).
