Zhouse Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 You could make an argument for Westy but with the year Portis is having...it's hard not to give it to him. 1. Portis 2. Westbrook 3. Barber 4. Jacobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor4Life Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Marion Barber @ 17%?!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook 3. Barber 4. Jacobs Westbrook is a beast...I just don't see him as a RB. He's like a receiver IMO, being placed in the RB spot. Portis is pure RB. Westbrook may have started his own thing though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicious Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 It's a hard choice because really who would you rather have on the field.. As a running I'd take portis, in general... Damn it's a hard choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook may have started his own thing though. I hear ya! But he does also run the ball effectively. But the argument is: does he run the ball effectively because he's a big threat to receive the ball out of the backfield as well? You got a point though.....Portis a threat running the ball first and foremost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRay Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I would think of Westbrook more of an multi-player more than an pure running back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 My question is how does Barber have at least 17% of the vote :doh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Btubes18 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 CP all the way...They should just list Ward and Jacobs together and they still would be last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Truth Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 This season? No question (oh yea, already put in my vote) I'd say it should go: Portis Westbrook Jacobs Barber Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#98QBKiller Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Clinton Portis and Brian Westbrook by a lot. Then I'd take Barber over Jacobs actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingfish50 Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 Westbrook is the best. CP has the best line. I have to disagree with you on that one. In Philthy's best years, Westbrook was never much on running the ball and would barely get over 1000 yds a year on the ground. His yardage was combined yardage, ground and air as he excelled in the WCO. He couldn't take the constant pounding, behind any line for 16 games and don't even compare his blocking skills to CP's. Westbrook is a damn good RB but not at the level of Clinton Portis. :dallasuck:eaglesuck:gaintsuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westbrook is a damn good RB but not at the level of Clinton Portis. :dallasuck:eaglesuck:gaintsuck These are all very good points. I just think most of it has to do with Westbrook's durability. If he could have successive healthy seasons, I think his rushing yardage would be somewhat close. But if you watch Philly, they don't run block very well. Westbrook is crazy good in the pass game, while Portis doesn't catch the ball too often. I don't know what it is, but when I watch Portis, almost every big run he gets is because there's a HUGE hole. He usually doesn't create long runs by himself. Don't get me wrong, he has great vision, but you usually won't see Portis have some of the sweet runs that Westbrook has. Now I'm not trying to talk smack about my Skins, because the LINE is what makes CP go. If you watch games where the line is getting beat, CP does NOTHING. 2 yard run, 1 yard run, 3 yard run, 1 yard loss, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He shows a flash every now and then, but nothing consistent. He's as overrated and hyped up as the rest of that team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you watch games where the line is getting beat, CP does NOTHING. 2 yard run, 1 yard run, 3 yard run, 1 yard loss, etc. Good point but if you remember when the Redskins were making that run to the playoffs and Saunders was calling a lot of plays with CP catching a lot of balls on screens and such, he looked great. It was similar to the same kind of offensive plays that Westbrook runs. As far as when the line shuts down, so does CP, you are right to a point but the same goes for Westbrook, if not more. The only difference being that Westbrook is getting all of those yards off of screens and dump off passes. That's a lot different than having to find a hole behind a bunch of 300 pound monsters in the backfield, something that Westbrook was never very good at and CP will keep pounding until either the o-line creates some holes or CP eventually finds them.
