Would you rather have Portis or Davis?

But if he can keep his 5-ypc average up in DC, Portis is the man and the deal is a great one, especailly given how very young he is.

PS Davis did have some heart-breaking fumbles!

The starting RB's in the NFC East last year were:

Tiki Barber
Troy Hambrick
Dung Candidate
Duce Staley

Besides Staley, none of these backs is really a hard-nosed, dependable, grind it out back...

Clinton Portis is ridiculously better than all the other backs in the NFC East, maybe even the whole NFC (exceptions are maybe Green and Alexander).
