Admit it - who passed on Portis becasue of shoulder injury ?

[The Moz 69]

 

 

I had pick 1.9 and focking passed on Portis to take Peyton Manning ( 6 points all touchdowns ) .

 

 

Portis Right now IMO is #2 running back next to LT !

[surferskin 30]

portis is an absolute STUD and he will be the top scoring back in the NFC this year.

 

oh, and i got in with the first pick of the second round.

in a 10 team league, i did for ronnie brown at pick #7. But he lasted back to me on the snake and grabbed him. big thing though is how you survived the first 2 weeks. i went 1-1, so i can live. but if you took him and went 0-2, you may not be bad off.

 

also, makes the bad start for ronnie brown bearable for me. brown is now my #2..........

[The Moz 69]

Might be Al Saunders scheme shining through ! He did it against a all world run stoppingn defense ! He was breaking off 8 yard runs like nothing. Portis seriously might be a 20 TD guy still !

until his shoulder pops out again

[Sho Nuff 720]

I did...in the 1st round (8th pick of a 10 teamer)...thankfully the other 2 passed on him with their picks...and I landed him in the 2nd.

 

Though, it only makes up for the Ronnie Brown pick in the 1st.

[texasmouth 1]

I passed on him.

 

I always pass on him.

 

I never have a Redskin on my team. That would upset the FF gods that covern my teams.

does that make you feel better for taking mcgahee over him?

[cubbie5150 0]

In my only redraft league (12 owners), I had the 1st overall pick, so I was never gonna get him. Our draft was the weekend BEFORE Labor Day weekend, & Portis fell to pick 2.05. That owner took SJack in the 1st Rd & also has Eli, S Moss & Stallworth.... His team is looking very good.. Unfortunately I am in his division...

[Franknbeans 46]

Yeah, I'm doing fine in that league.

[Phurfur 70]

I passed at pick #10 but grabbed him on the way back at #15.

itsatip that all good players are only good until they get injured.

[O Face 0]

I would have drafted him at #5 if not for the shoulder thing. Instead I opted for SJax. OK with the decision so far, but we'll see....

Just admit it that you were a little nervous about drafting him

[surferskin 30]

Just admit it that you were a little nervous about drafting him

maybe a little...but it was pick you have to make. he was the #4 back before the injury and it's not like it was knee injury...i was willing to take a slow start for the #4 back. he was a steal @ #11.

 

 

brown at #10...not so much.

[DanXIII 8]

I'm man enough to admit it: I passed on Portis for Edge because of the shoulder injury.

 

Of course...I got Westbrook a couple of rounds later so it worked out .

[Cruzer 1,993]

took him in round 2 - everybody was like .

 

took t.bell in round 6 - everybody was like .

 

 

now i've portis, bell, dunn, and caddy - everybody is like .

[mrmojom3 0]

Passed on him at 1.11, took L Jordan as the "safe pick" due to the injury - we all know how LJordan is working out this year

 

I did plan to take him at 1.14 but the owner at the turn snaked him. If Portis plays at this pace the rest of the season, I was wrong. If he misses some games b\c shoulder then not such a bad decision.

[FirstDownSyndrome 0]

Nope, I took him at #7 despite the injury. Tried to trade down to the #5 spot to get him, but the greedy skippy wanted my first 3 picks....he picked Edge. He's played just over two games and has 4 TDs, and I've started 3-1.

 

 

I passed on him.

 

I always pass on him.

 

I never have a Redskin on my team. That would upset the FF gods that covern my teams.

 

 

Finally, a real fan! I hear ya' 'Mouth. As a Redskins fan I never draft players from the NFC East. Although we cheer for rival teams, it's good to see somebody put their team above fantasy.

[Mark_it_8_Dude 0]

Ok I'll cop to it, I passed on him for LaMont Jordan, but oh well. I still ended up with Steven Jackson, Frank Gore, Laurence Maroney, Brandon Jacobs, and DeAngelo Williams, so I am pretty happy with my RBs.

[football_scooter 0]

I passed on him at the WCOFF at 1.10 for SJax. Not too disappointed. But what bothers me is that I passed on him at 2.03 where I was very very tempted to take him, and took Larry Fitzgerald instead.

 

Now that Warner has killed Fitz value, I have to pray that Leinart wakes the hell up and throws to him early & often or I'll be kicking myself for letting Portis slip for the rest of the season.

 

In my other league I took LJordan over Portis, but that was early August so I can't fault myself too much for that one. I knew Jordan would come around once the matchups got softer. with SF, AZ and HOU on the schedule, I wouldn't be surprised to see LJordan give Portis a serious run for the money in terms of production for the next month.

Same exact draft for me, except I have Thomas Jones as my 3rd RB in case I want to bench Brown.

[einstein2u 0]

hmmmm.....maybe passing on him at 1.9 wasn't a good idea....took edge....

[akaoni 0]

At pick #7 of 10, I passed on him because Rudi slipped to me. I wanted him on the way back, but he was gobbled up at 2.2...oh well, I compensated by picking C. Taylor, K. Jones, D. Foster and L. Maroney in rounds 3-6 and am 4-0.

until his shoulder pops out again

Carson Palmer will be a great QB until his knee breaks again.

Deuce McAllister will be a descent back until his knee gets reinjured.

Culpepper will play until he is reinjured.

Shaun Alexander we be a good back when he returns, until he injures his foot again.

Steve Smith is a stud WR until his hammy snaps again.

Pennington will play well until his shoulder breaks again.

If Portis is such a "reinjury" risk, why not these guys?

they all are, what do I win?

willis mcgahee's bad ACL.

[jgcrawfish 232]

i'm still undecided on whether I like my TatumBell+DeShaunFoster for Clinton Portis trade. It's been good so far, and he's saved my arse in two consecutive weeks. But based on what I see out of Ronnie Brown/Chester Taylor/Fred Taylor I'm not sure how stocked I am at RB anymore and that I might not be better off with Bell/Foster in the long run. But a 20+ yrd outing by Driver tonight makes me 4-0, nothing to sneeze at!

Right on! In addition to never drafting Redskins, I never draft a Raidah!

[lindust20 2]

I passed on Portis to take Jordan.. ....although he did good this week.

[wRONg JEREMY 0]

I traded my first two picks(1.06 and 2.07) to the guy with (1.10 and 2.03). I would have taken Portis @ 1.06 but figured I'd trade down and hope he fell to me(which he did ). At 2.03 I grabbed Westbrook and two rounds later I took D. Foster for insurance. The guy I traded w/ ended up w/ R. Brown and L. Fitzgerald with the picks I swapped w/ him. I think that with all things considered I made the right move.

[baltfool 0]

I passed on Portis and took EDGE.

[big dog 0]

I passed on Portis at 1.07 to pick up Edge.

 

I couldn't believe he was available at 2.06 so I grabbed him up and have been doing the dancing banana ever since.

[Yohnkalicious 0]

Had the #6 pick, hoping to get someone like Rudi, Ronnie, or SJax. Stupid people in my league took E James and Rudi 4th and 5th, so I nabbed Barber at #6 (ok, maybe the rudi pick is looking good so far). Coming back around into round 2, no one had him (everyone was deathly afraid of his shoulder injury), so I had no choice but to take him at 2.07. Combine that with Kevin Jones and D Rhodes as my fill ins and Darrell Jackson and McNabb, I've been able to get thru the first 4 weeks 4-0 with the most points scored so far!
