The Portis move in hindsight

[Gmanc711]

Watch the Redskins with Clinton Portis on the feild....watch the Redskins without Clinton Portis....they are two completley different teams, period.

The sad part is, this argument really should have nothing to do with Ladell Betts, because it dosent. Ladell Betts is a very nice running back.

However, Clinton Portis is a game changing, franchise changing running back. Since he's been here, here are my list of games we would have not won if we didnt have Clinton Portis in our backfeild....

2004....(6-10)
We dont win...vs Tampa Bay 148 yds TD, @ Chicago 176 yards, @ Detroit 147 yds, TD Pass. without Portis.

In 2005 (10-6)
We were a much better team overall, but
H vs Chicago 141 yds (That 41 blast from our own 4 basically won the game).
What should have been @ Tampa Bay but we lost that one, @ Arizona, vs NYG, @ Philadlephia

This year, I dont think we win the Jaguars, or Dallas II this year without Portis.

He's just a differnet type of back. Ladell Betts is not as good as Clinton Portis, there is no other way to explain it.

I hate that everytime Betts has a good game, we want to trade Clinton Porits. Its freaking ludacris. I have news for everyone....I could have ran through those holes last week in Atlanta...in fact, I almost question Betts on a couple of those runs for NOT gaining more yards.

Heres the other big thing....has anyone seen Betts block? Watch him and watch Portis...its night and day. Clinton Portis is a complete package.

Again, I hate that I have to "Blast" Betts so to speak for this, because I absolutley love Ladell Betts and I couldnt be more excited that he is coming back to Washington. But this get rid of Portis, should we have gotten Portis stuff is just crazy to me. Even if we didnt get Portis in 04' we would have gotten someone else, or would still be looking for someone else.
