Ain't that a horrible thing... everywhere you go in the country you run into those f**k*** people.

sure are a lot of Pittsburgh fans around here too. I don't think $25 is bad for Betts considering what a great year he had last year. Where would we have been without him?

Hey, your talking about a North and South runner that had over 1100 yards and was a mid season starter... he could be a stud as a 16 gamer.

It would be cool to see what he can do in a full season. I say ditch CP and run Betts.

I dont know about that one. I like having both of them as our 2 back system with Clinton being our feature back

I think you are much safer with 2 good backs.... but CP is not the smash mouth type of runner you normally associate with Joe Gibbs. As I have said in other threads..... I would like to see another big back come in and trade Portis .... I bet we could get alot for him.

How about TJ Duckett? Oh wait . . . Let's not throw Portis under the bus. He was the party starter in 2005 and when he was healthy last year he made the whole team better. He is a great blocker, hard nosed, just a damn good FOOTBALL player. That is why Gibbs loves Portis, that is why I love Portis, then he gets hurt and everyone is ready to toss him overboard, foolish.

I agree CP is a great back and can be of a significant benefit to a team. I just think a Redskin running back is more in the tradition of Larry Brown, Riggo, & Stephen Davis.

Portis broke a team record and we married him when he signed that big contract.

I know we are married to him... but how many times has a man gotten married, and then decided he liked the girl across the street more????
