Don't mess with Texas
I did.Do you really believe that??I reading he will start but will only get half the carriesTomorrow couldn't come fast enough and I know I won't be able to sleep tonight. Portis is going to rip it up!

Portis or A Peterson? (PPR)

Portis. I'm not a fan of rookie RB's, particularly when there's a veteran on the roster who has started for that team already. There's too much to learn about blitz pick-ups, etc. IMHO to trust them in the lineup. Disclaimer: I've not been following the Vikings closely, so if they're on the record about Peterson getting 20 carries or something then you might reconsider. I'm assuming he at best is splitting carries with Chester Taylor.

First three plays of the season: Clinton Portis for four yards, Clinton Portis for seven yards, first down. Then Jason Campbell intercepted, tackle made by Clinton Portis.

Alrighty...
C. Portis 17 98 1
L. Betts 17 59 0
I think this should pretty much settle it.

Was disappointed to see Betts in there so much but Portis still did very good and Im happy with the results (although I benched Peterson for him). Only bad thing is people will see that split in carries and think itll be RBBC all year. I doubt it will be like that all year. But its still too early to trade Portis if you were thinking of doing so.

Trading Portis would be a rather foolish thing to do, he's only going to get more carries.

There you have it folks: straight from Norman Einstein.he's closer to IR, than he is to playing a single down this season. He's a huge BUST at this point.
Betts will continue to be the main man in DC..
can the Portis lovers on this board finally get a grip, and pull themselves out of denial, already?!
the guy can't:
run, except in straight lines.
practice.
make cuts.
its the end of preseason.he hasn't carried the ball, once..has practiced for only a day or two.he has a surgically repaired shoulder that hasn't even been tested yet..
people need to wake up, Portis will not play much,if at all, this season.
Betts is the money pick on that team.
It doesn't matter how even the carries are. Portis is the more productive back. The only thing Betts will do is keep Portis fresh all year, allowing him to make better longer carries. I think you are going to be looking at Portis getting fewer carries, with a higher YPC than you have seen since he has been in Washington.

I agree with this. Im just saying for those thinking about trading him this is still a bad time to trade him because the perception right now will still be a RBBC.

High Risk proves to be High Reward afterall? I think he looked good, and I 2nd whoever said "he is only going to get more carries"

He rewarded the faithful today... :(
I wouldn't Trade him right now unless someone was coughing up a top 7 player... hes only going to get better down the road; hes not even in game shape yet.

Don't you guys think now that he has proved he is healthy Maybe Gibbs will give him more carries? Going into the game Gibbs comment was that Portis would start but Betts would ge more carries, IMO, like the guys before me said Portis proved who the better RB is, Beside that i need him to HELP my team out :(

The next two weeks are division games followed by a bye, so I think you'll definitely see an increase in carries for those games (unless a game gets out of hand).

Never thought that my top back today would be Portis over SJax, but I am thrilled he looked as good as he did

That guy is horrible. He was talking about Portis going to the IR before the season started.
I seriously doubt you will see him in this thread again.

i'm not one for calling guys out when they are wrong. But, NYGiants has a well recorded history of making posts whose sole purpose is to make others angry. Run a search for his recent posts and see for yourself. IOW, take his posts with a grain of saltETA: As a Portis owner, i was very happy to see him outperform Betts today. And i am fine with split carries in September if it means Portis will be around come weeks 14-17I seriously doubt you will see him in this thread again.

NYGIANTS....where are you now?

Betts carried more than I figured he would, but IMHO that was out of recognition that Portis isn't quite in game shape yet. Portis is clearly 100% healthy, though, and has all of his old burst. This is about as much work as we'll see from Betts in one game barring an injury to Portis; it's all downhill from here.

I certainly wouldn't be critical of people who put together thoughtful, well reasoned opinions that don't pan out. I don't do my own stats/projections so my appreciation is sincere for those who do. However NYGiants56 was clearly on a fishing trip with his obvious Giants homerism getting the way of any useful information.Time to come back and man-up! Just admit that you may have been wrong and CPortis just *might* have a decent year.I agree, I love that most people on this board will stand behind their projections and predictions right or wrong. It's the few like NYgiants that lower the quality of the board.i'm not one for calling guys out when they are wrong.

Let's not just pick on nygiants56, where are all the posters who were telling all Portis owners how wrong we were??? Hello-lo-lo-lo??
I think it's comedy that Portis was able to avoid the entire preseason and then come in and just pick up where he left off a year and a half ago. I like his chances this year.

I sent him a message but no response.nygiants56 internet service must be down. I'm sure he would show up otherwise.

Steal of the draft.....Portis owner in 3 of 4 leagues. And I picked him with my 1st rounder in a WCOFF Sat league that drafted 2 months back
This was the toughest run D the Skins will see all day and he still got 100 & 1 TD....what will he do against crappy run Ds like the Eagles?

He's off having a beer with ILUVBEER99 in a WiFi blackout zone.Or he's trying to ditch Betts off while the carries are still even.I sent him a message but no response.nygiants56 internet service must be down. I'm sure he would show up otherwise.

Yes, barring injury I think there's very little doubt that Portis will be a top 10 RB, maybe top 5.
Thanks i like your thinking!!

I'm trying very hard not to put too much stock in one game, but Portis did exactly what I was hoping for when I drafted him. He may not be his old self yet, but he dispelled the knee injury worries, and began pushing Betts back to the bench. :knocksonwood:

Exactly right, couldn't have said it better.
