NO

NO

He has had some injuries over the past 2 years, but for everyone to say he will not last a whole season is foolish. Personally, I think he is the better back in Washington and gives the Redskins the best shot to win.

 

[TwinTurbo]

No, he's not any more injury prone than any other NFL RB. Now a guy like Donte Stallworth. That guy is injury prone.

 

[BoltzNBrew]

Football players get injured.

He does have a tendancy to get a bit dinged up during the course of a year, but what RB doesn't? All players have minor dents and dings throughout the year. He had two flukey injuries last year, if the Skins were in the playoff hunt he wouldn't have gone on IR.

 

[TheLastDispatch]

Not sure I would slap the famous "injury prone" label on him, but I'm not as confident in his ability to stay healthy as some other RBs...

 

[Drunken Cowboy]

One of the more durable backs in the league.

 

[Whiplash Inc.]

One of the more durable backs in the league.

Indeed, so let's not jinx him.

 

[Jedimaster21]

The results are extremely surprising thus far. I felt very confident that 60% of shark poolers would agree that he is injury prone. Seems to be one of those perception lessons...now I owe my brother a beverage of choice unless this turns around...

 

[Coeur de Lion]

Before last year, he had missed only four games in four years. He had north of 700 carries in 2004/2005 combined. He is actually one of the more durable RBs in the league.

 

[jafo]

No.

 

[Pigskin Fanatic]

One of the more durable most physical backs in the league.

fixed.that's bound to lead to a bruise or two. injury prone? don't think so.

 

[jbz]

agreed. Portis plays very physical for his size. Watch the man pass block, he kills blitzers at times.

 

[moderated]

Name me one RB who doesn't get banged up throughout the season.

Portis is one of those who plays through those dings and still produces. Not only is he durable but also extremely tough.

He was playing through the seperated shoulder last season, only reason he was shelved for the whole 2nd half is that the Skins were out of contention, otherwise he woulda only missed 3-4 games with the broken hand.

 

[BeachBums]

I'm trying to get him for Marshawn Lynch straight up. I hope his owner buys into the 'injury prone' label.

what kind of stupid post is this? what a useless thread..is <player name> injury prone?

 

[bez18]

Def NOT

No, I wouldn't consider CP injury prone, but I do think backing him up is a good move.

With his little nick-nack injuries over the past year, i am interested in backing him up with Betts. Mostly because I think Betts would be a good fill-in as opposed to say a Bennett in KC.

(Picked up Betts in 1 of 2 that I have Portis ...trying for the second. *fingers crossed*)
