at that time it looks like denver got the best of us. champ is special, and shanahan zbs was churning out 1000 yard backs with ease. and denver got our second round pick they used on clinton replacement tatum bell. but since bell really didnt do much in denver, bailey did well but denver never really went anywhere, meanwhile portis carried our offense for a few years.... I think we got the better deal by sheer luck. |

Re: Clinton Portis To Announce Retirement
Thats what I had. Top 3. Definately Riggo first and second, third, fourth, and fifth could all be a toss up with Portis, Davis, Byner, and some other older cat whose name escapes me right now.

Re: Clinton Portis To Announce Retirement
Don't forget Larry Brown on that "Greatest Backs" list.

He will probably trip up before getting on the ballet or get luck and stumble his way in.

Not surprised by this announcement. Thanks CP for everything you did here in DC. Nothing but the best to you in your next life. HAIL!

We have settled for a lot of fg over the years. We were awful in the redone with zorn and last year we finally showed some life at times with Rex of all people at qb of course he threw a few picks down there as well.

So it's pretty easy to say he would have done the deal straight up, even given up a pick himself if push had come to shove. Oh and one other thought, "leaving DC no matter what" sorry but lots of unhappy players go no where with trade demands, they really have zero leverage, unless the owner runs his team like a fantasy football manager. We've even seen a guy demand a trade, then "retire" only to be traded for 1st and 2nd round draft picks a few months later, and that was a older guy who was coming off two lackluster years who hasn't looked good since his knee injury... Champ was a shut down corner coming into his prime with the better part of his career ahead of him. Caving in and getting desperate because a restricted free agent is demanding things isn't exactly what most teams do, and the idea that Champ was in charge and dictating things only holds merit because of the inexperienced owner who allowed that to work for Champ, and then got over excited by the thought of getting his very own Fantasy Football RB1... Like any fool who doesn't know what he has, he got taken by the guy who "saw him coming". Last edited by 44 goes 50 gut; 08-22-2012 at 11:31 PM. |

Re: Clinton Portis To Announce Retirement
Some things are bigger than football, and Champ's situation was just that.

Agreed about Shanny being good at dealing with RBs, same way Andy Reid has recently done a brilliant job managing his QBs in trades. It's just in this case, we weren't in position to demand full value for Bailey. Love how we ended up with CP, though! Denver missed Portis since he left! |
