First off who says we need a "speed back" yea I seen Sproles too and yea it would be nice to have "him" but Betts is no Ward and never will be.

A Portis/Ward combo would knock the crap out of any defense.

Wards stats Derrick Ward - New York Giants - NFL - Yahoo! Sports
Betts stats Ladell Betts - Washington Redskins - NFL - Yahoo! Sports

Ward put up over 1000 yards and he had to share the stage with Jacobs who only put up 60 more yards than Ward. Jacobs put up 1089 yards. Together they put up 2100 yards.

If you put Portis and Ward together in 2008 with there respected yardage we would have had 2500 rushing yards. Ill take that any day.

Ward also avg 5.6 YPC vs Betts 3.4 YPC
No contest here my friend.

FYI Ward is not my FA pick. I was just responding to 53fan post on Jacobs. But I wouldnt say no to Ward thats for sure
