How GOOD was Clinton Portis ACTUALLY?

[Hstokes1447]

 

[The Cane of NY]

Imo he should have started over JJ while he was here. We missed out on a whole season where he could have been Da man.

 

[Hurracanes]

Doesn’t get enough credit for how good he was.

 

[Brains]

Good as ****.

Edge, Jackson, Portis, McGahee, Frank

We were flat out spoiled.

 

[MovingZen]

I came in here to be mad that this is even a question.

 

[L A M P]

You might as well call him “Mr. Randy Watson” because that boy is good!

 

[TrumpyCane]

Trumpycane thinks if he stayed in Denver he’d be top 5 all time in yards

Going to Washington was awful for his career

 

[GOCANES05]

Good as ****.

Edge, Jackson, Portis, McGahee, Frank

We were flat out spoiled.

There’s a couple RINGS in that group

 

[JG13]

Dude was slippery as **** thru the hole and clearing the LBs. (pause)

 

[3FW]

His development from the day he arrived and the day he left was incredible.

 

[Pb cane]

I remember watching him when he first came to miami he would just blow by everyone I think he averaged 10+ yards a carry I think the knee injuries slowed him down a bit if not for the injuries he would of been the best of all time

 

[OldhamA]

He was better than Terrell Davis in that Shanahan system - and the former is (undeservedly) in the HoF.

So yeah, pretty **** good.

 

[Phydeaux]

7th all time NFL rush yards per game
If he sticks around 3 more NFL years (health)
He blows by 12000 rushing, 3000 receiving and nears 100 TDs
In his healthy years, never rushed for less than 1250
3 1500 rush plus w a 1400 yarder thrown in

He was on a HOF trajectory

 

[caneholic88]

Guy was nasty af, straight baller

 

[CANESCANES]

If he stayed in Denver, he could of been considered an all time great behind shanahans offensive line

 

[Essex Cane]

Portis and Priest Holmes are sooooo underrated. Portis prob makes the HOF if he stayed in Denver bro was shredding everything.

 

[Memnon]

Why do you guys keep saying "if he stayed in Denver.."?

He was traded to Washington, he didn't decide to leave in Free agency.

 

[judge smails army]

One of the most clutch backs ever at UM.
He almost single handedly brought us back again Washington in 2000. Same for the BC game with the Ed Reed interception return to end it in 01. Stepped up in big moments.

 

[IndayArtHauz]

Legitimately terrifying runner. I freaking love portis, second only to 49er Frank for me. Or maybe third to Edge. I freaking love Portis.

His Mistake was demanding more money so soon from a guy who churned out 1,000 yard running like it was nothing.
