Hes honestly NEVER been the same since he put on that weight for Gibbs plus he has bone spurs in both ankles. A running back with sore ankles =. The o-line sucks, offense is a joke, and for someone "so" young he has a lot of miles..shame that. With all that said he looked a lot better last year.
Blasphemy.....absolute horse *##*, deuce...even counting the year where he was injured, he has averaged over 1,200 yards per season in DC...

Yeah man...it sucks watching him right now.
When he was in Denver, what did he weigh...200-205 tops? That Gibbs running scheme took a toll on his body. Dude had to bulk up to 225...the beating he took over the years finally caught up with him. It's sad to say, but I think Cooley might be able to beat him in a foot race at this point
When RB's decline, it isn't gradual...it's SUDDEN. I think that's what we're seeing with CP. It would be one thing if the Skins had a young stud RB waiting in the wings, but we got those two bozos in LaFell Betts and Stumpy "No Shake" Cartwright as options #2 & #3...Drafting a RB or two has to be a priority in 2010...
womp womp. four yards a carry isn't anything to write home about. I can get a thousand yards a year ifyou give me the ball every other play too...
but I think Cooley might be able to beat him in a foot race at this point
Ouch.............that's really saying something is "slow foot" Cooley beat Clinton in a foot race.

DoubleJ's, just cause you average 1,200 yards a season doesn't necessarily mean you have "IT". Again, maybe mydefinition and yours of having "IT" is completely different, but at no point in time in the league would I say Clinton Portis was the best runningback in the league. Top 5 a couple of seasons, but definitely not #1 or #2, and that's what truly seperates you from the pack. It's quite clear tosee that LT has fallen off, for now at least. That's a guy that I would say have "IT" and then just fell by the wayside. Same thing I would saytowards Adrian Peterson if he doesn't put up big numbers anymore, or isn't mentioned as being the best back in the league. The fact of the matter iswhen Clinton Portis came here to DC most Skins fans thought he was going to put up the same numbers that he put up in Denver, and anyone that knows footballwould have told you that Clinton Portis was simply a product of the system in Denver, just like any Duke basketball player for the most part, just like anyUniversity of Florida quarterback, shot out to all you Tim Tebow fans out there. Hell, just like MaxElite stated above me, didn't Betts average 1,000 yards, and your trying to tell me thatClinton Portis averaging 1,200 yards is suppose to imply that he has "IT", sorry champ but I aint buying it. Again, Clinton Portis is a very goodrunning back, I'm not taking that away from him but at no point in time be it now or later in the future will Clinton Porits be considered the best runningback in the league or even mentioned for the Hall of Fame.

Is Fred Taylor human?
Fred Taylor is part freak. Also, IMO I think I a lot of his longevity has to due that he missed a bunch of games early in his career due toinjury. So he may have a little less wear and tear than a normal running back his age who didn't miss as many games early in their career.
If we are talking about RBs who lost "it" lest not forget:
fixed for accuracy ... someone bring up that matt forte is top 15 or whatever thread we were arguing about ... matt forte is that hot, wet garbage...
