Man, this is turning into an interesting situation.
I've got one tab open to this thread and a tab open on that Packers site discussing almost the same thing with Ryan Grant being out for the season-mostly arguing about whether or not Ted Thompson should've been willing to give up some picks to try to get Lynch before Seattle grabbed him.
No accounting for taste I guess-I don't know who gets more frustrated quicker fans of a team trying to get to the Super Bowl or fans of a team trying to get to 8-8 or maybe 9-7.
This was inevitable for Portis eventually-the guy has simply taken a beating on the field for a long time and he's getting to the age where, no matter what shape you're in, your body just can't keep recovering back to near-or-at it's previous condition. Maybe after this injury we may be able to use him, sparingly, perhaps situationally. It's a shame that it's occurring just when he's made an apparent turnaround both physically and mentally as far as his game goes. I do see this as probably his last season as an NFL RB however.
Hope you get better soon CP, and when you do have to hang it up-well, thanks for what you've done.
In the meantime, Torain, here's your chance-you've looked good so far-show us that's just a taste and you've got even more in the tank and we'll love ya for it.
O.K., Shanny, do your "who the hell is that RB that nobody's heard of makin' all that yardage" trick-the audience is waiting.
