Henry Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Portis has only played 3 games and change. And he's been nursing a seperated shoulder. Is Jones and Barber and better combo than a gimpy Portis and Betts? Probably. But as Portis gets healthier I suspect his production will overtake Jones and Barber.

diesel22 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 Lets compare them individually before we put them together Primary Backs: Portis vs Jones. I am not nearly as big of a CP homer as most on this board. I still have some issues with him at times. However, there is no question he is the choice here. Scale of 1-10 Portis: 8 Jones: 5 Backups: Betts vs Barber Competition is closer here, while I give a slight edge to Barber (I honestly feel he should be the starter in Dallas) Scale of 1-10 Betts: 4 Barber: 5 Put em together and you get a 12-10 victory for the good guys.

Henry Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 While we're at it, let's take another poll. Who's a better QB: Damon Huard or Tom Brady? Huard 192 yds/game 5 TDs 0 INTs 107.4 rating Brady 206 yds/game 8 TDs 3 INTs 82.6 rating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celts32 Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 This duo stuff is nonsense...portis is way better than Jones and that's all that counts. SI listed the top 10 duo's and didn't even list Portis...if you list me as Portis's backup he's still in the top 10! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 sorry but i think marion barber is actually much better than ladell betts.. barber can actually start in this league and produced unlike betts who will only be a career backup rb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The gap between Portis and Jones is very substantial.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
