Schoolmaster Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 I'm getting sooooo tired of this. In five seasons in this league Clinton Portis has put up 1500 yards three times. He put up 1300 yards in another. He is on a faster pace than Emmitt Smith, the leading rusher of all time. We all know what CP can do, Joe Gibbs knows what CP can do. There is no need at all for him to play in the preseason, especially after his injuries last year. Clinton was just being real when said he might not be here next year. That goes for every player on the roster who doesn't perform. Clinton Portis is this offense. If it doesn't run through him then it won't succeed. They will put up some points but they will still lose close ball games. The media has made CP out to be a bad guy. His teammates love him, he plays his heart out and he is one of the best rushers in this league when healthy. I urge fans not to get caught up in this mess and to be thankful when he is the starter come week one. Amen. CP is a proud, proud guy. He is his #1 critic. He will say 'I have to produce or I won't be here next year' because nobody else will say it. CP is a beast, all the coaches and GMs in the NFC East knows it, and everybody else that knows football knows it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soup Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Omfg, what a HORRIBLE "rumor" lol...anyone who watched the video of Portis' interview knows where this "rumor" got started...and they're presenting it as if Portis is having deep introspective thoughts on how he feels this very well could be his last season as a Redskin (complete with serious, introspective-looking photo to accompany it lol :laugh: )...Gawd, I love the press. :cool: Exactly, they sure do mix his words around. In the video he is joking around. Gibbs will probably have to talk to him again about being super smart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebootydr Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 A. He Will Produce.B. He Won't Leave C. Everyone Loves C Portis D. Except me! I think he thinks he is above the team; that team rules apply to everyone else but him. Everyone has to bust their azz in practice but him. You people are myopic and so naive. His character is even in question after that "dog fighting is no big deal" stance. He has done nothing to deserve a start in game 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illone Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 Portis isn't going anywhere. You guys should know by now, Clinton doesn't take the media very seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mi6 Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 IF he is let go or trade ... so, what?! Its not the end of the world. CP is a decent running back ... but, not great. He is no LT... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fight4oldc Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Can't we rope someone in to giving us a 1st rounder for Betts? Some team that forgets he's a fumbler and over spends for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrfriedm Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 this is the dumbest rumor ever. And anybody who thinks that this rumor is true, or that we should actually trade Portis, well, you should have your head checked to make sure that you do have a functional brain.

ImmortalDragon Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 This could be a way of motivating himself. I doubt we could even afford the penalty to cut/trade him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipwhich Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I believe his salary cap numbers next year would require us to renegotiate or he will have to be cut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbodiesel#44 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Portis started practicing with the team through all the drills today. That is a good sign. http://www.extremeskins.com/forums/showthread.php?t=208477 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 I could believe this rumor. Why? Here's how I'd evaluate the status of Portis a) he's been injured - never a good thing for a player He's voiced his displeasure about playing in preseason, calling out Gibbs and co as if to blame them for the injury c) other players have shown that they can step up and produce adequately at his position. d) said players were rewarded with contract extensions e) He's faking this injury putting himself above the team and above the coaches. This can NOT be a good thing. Actually I think its a VERY BAD thing, and if I were coach, might be grounds for getting rid of this ****y sob who's making his own rules to get around mine.

CapitalDefense Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 No love for Portis, poor little baby, this is football not drama class. Shut up and play if your little boo boo heals up in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kindred Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Seems to me Gibbs is faking this injury as much as Portis. Does that honestly sound like something Gibbs would do? He doesnt need to fake an injury. He can simply say I dont want to play Portis, I want to keep him healthy, I want to keep him fresh, I want to see new guys play, whatever.

C26 Run Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 Fat chance. I doubt that seriously. Portis probably thinks that just cause of what he witnessed with Salave'a. :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
