The Portis move in hindsight

I don't know who specifically this was aimed at, but let me say for the 9th time that I'm a huge CP fan, in no way think that Betts is a better back than CP, or that we'd be better off with Betts than CP. There's no doubt Clinton's presence makes a huge difference -- some in measurable ways, others intangible.

I don't, however, think that this team is doomed without CP, and there's a difference. Betts is better than "just average", I think, but he's never been healthy and the undisputed starter on a decent enough Redskins squad to show it.

We should be thrilled to have a guy like Ladell as a #2 -- much like when the Ravens had Chester Taylor to back up Jamal. What's wrong with that?
