Re: Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

I don't see how Portis couldn't be ready by now.

[quote=MightyJoeGibbs;211485]Constantly we hear about -Is there more to Portis' injury.

I am gonna have to strongly disagree with you. There is a huge difference between what Clinton and LaVar are doing/did, and I think that is an appropiate comparision to illustrate how what you are saying, will never happen.

They are/were franchise players, both got hurt, and both complained to the media. So on paper, this looks like the same deal, and therefore Portis would be off the team too, right? Wrong. Portis has no problem with the coaching staff, and even though he said something about playing, it was due to frustration of his injury, shit I would too. If you were a superstar, and you got hurt in a meaningless game, you would be pissed, but you would be too scared to speak your mind, well Portis is not scared. Obviously Portis knows he was gonna play, and if didn't get hurt it is no big deal, but that was emotion you all heard. The coaches have no problem with that at all, and we need him to win. We did not NEED LaVar to win, that is the main difference, and that is why Portis won't be traded.

It is also because his injury really is not that serve. I compared his injury to Palmer's in another thread, and most people are not worried about Palmer, they think his knee will hold up instead of Portis's shoulder? Obviously Palmer is much more likely to get hurt, but people think Portis is done, and Palmer is gonna be the MVP.

My point is that we need Portis to win, and his injury is not that bad, therefore he is staying lol. I can not believe I am actually arguing, I really do not know how one can think he will be gone. If Portis is benched, we do not need him to win, then we can talk about this(which won't happen), otherwise this really cannot be a legit arguement.

I was at the guy's house when he picked up over stuffed chairs OVER HIS HEAD. There is nothing "more" to the injury. I aint no doctor but if you have a shoulder injury that is serious then I am pretty sure you aren't picking up 100 Lb chairs over your head.

how did u go to clinton portis' birthday party

Re: Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

I still took him at #5 in my draft but I gotta know if hes gonna play

Re: Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

[QUOTE=artmonkforhallofamein07;211575]Someone kill this thread!!! I seriously doubt Clinton is going anywhere. He IS GIBBS GUY!! Thats why Clinton can get away with what he said and Lavar was ostrisized (lol). Clinton is Gibbs favorite guy here. I think that was a ridiculous statement with no inside knowledge at all.

Riggins was one of the worst team guys and Gibbs kept him around because he was his best option, and I don't think you can compare one statement made by Portis and the constant pain in the ass Riggins was to Gibbs.

Here's My prediction: Clinton Portis does not play in next years preseason, but suits up in Burgandy and Gold week one.[/QUOTE]

Portis wont have more than two carries a game thats for sure. i dotn think Edge has had more than 2-3 carries a preseason game in years.

Re: Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

The problem is with that is he only had one carry this preseason. have you noticed Ladanlian Thomlinson does not play in the preseason. That was my point.

Re: Clinton Portis Week 1 Injury watch

i think they might deal out portis too
