What's so great about them?

The fact that Portis can't complete a full season?

 

[JohnnyHopkins]

Portis is a good running back, but still seems to live off of his numbers from the Running Back factory at Denver. He has only averaged 4.1 yards per carry during the three years he has been a Commander (4.1 average last year as well). Average, but not special. Very comparable to Julius Jones (4.0 YPC). Portis has an edge in the Rushing TD's per game started (.6 Rushing TD's per game started by Portis compared to .5 per game for Jones). Slight edge to Portis, but not as big a gap as his reputation would make some people believe.

That would leave Barber and Betts. Barber has averaged 4.4 over the last two years (only two years in the league), while Betts has averaged 4.5. Barber was light years ahead in the rushing TD's per game played (.7 per game for Barber compared to .2 for Betts. Big edge for Barber based on the TD's per game.

Portis has carried the ball too much and I believe is going to continue to have injury problems.

In 2004 & 2005 he carried the ball 700 times total and that is alot for his frame.

 

[Twyst]

Julius Jones was terrible for me in fantasy football last year so Im going with portis and betts

Who can argue with that logic?

Who can argue with that logic?

People who live in reality?

 

[theogt]

What's so great about them?

Their ability to run. With a football.

The fact that Portis can't complete a full season?

He had one injury in one season.

 

[Future]

Portis is either the best or second best back in the NFC East (westbrook). Betts is a good number 2...could be a number 1 on some teams.

I'll have to agree with theo.

I guess that means they are better, then.....or maybe more Cowboys fans have voted...I wonder which

 

[Mansta54]
