Who do you think is better Portis or Griffin

[Africangod]

I can tell you guys on here aren't to much big on football but tell me right Now who do you really think is better Clinton or Griffin and do you really think one of those players are the best backs in the league?????

[Bronco Benny]

Portis is better

Ladainian Tomlinson is the best back in the league. Portis is in the top 3 though.

[dandaman23]

Portis is better. Griffin isnt a top back in the league.

Portis is one of the best in the league. Q has some catching up to do, but I really think that he can become one of the better backs in the league, if he continues to apply himself.

So many people say that he's only had the one breakout game against the colts, and that was because he was "on turf"...Seems to me, many are forgetting what he did in college--(which I know is a completely different "world" when it comes to football talent) which was a lot more than he was expected to do. He's always been proving himself. I like Q, but he's no portis...

[Bronco Benny]

We need to trade Q to the Lions for Dre Bly
I think they'd fall for it. We'd tell em that he'd be just like Sanders on their turf.

griffin is mre shiftier, portis is just speed, portis is more useful as he can break away for more big plays.

[halfback]

Though Griffin isnt a bad back, i believe Portis is way better, but i like having Griffin there to spell Portis and to fill the shoes in case on injury

Portis is one of the greats of all time, but I don't think Griffin is second-rate AT ALL. He can't prove himself if he isn't consistently given the opportunity to do so. The problem is, even if he DOES have the potential to be as great as Portis, it isn't likely he will get that opportunity in denver unless Portis is severely and permanently injured. As someone once (rightly) said to me, you can't have two roosters in the henhouse. I don't know what the solution is.

solution: keep them both. Portis isnt likely to finish a whole year so griffin is almot sure to play. he can be used for spot duty too.

The Broncos need to work a trade. I say move Droughns to Full Back and trade either Anderson or Griffin. Obviously, the Bronco faithful would rather see Griffin hang around to see what his potential is, but they might get a better trade offer for him. Portis is the man, and I do think that he is tough enough to last the full season as long as Shannahan balances out the play calling a little more. To do that, he will need to bring in a solid WR.

I know that Droughns is listed as fullback but the guy only weighs 207lbs. I don't he could hold up for 16 games as starting full back. During Anderson's suspension he started and the wear and tear in that four game stretch was already starting to show.

portis is much better but it is premature to call himone of the greatest of all time.. especially given the fact that running backs seem to flourish no matter who they are behind that denver O line in the last 8 or so years

[broncosbeast]

If we played in a dome then I'd say Griffin. Portis is better on grass and that's where we play most of our games and will for as long as I can see.

This isn't as far fetched as it might sound. Griffin will never be another Sanders (no one will), but I think he would have a lot of success in Mariuchis (sp) offense. The issue probably wouldn't be whether they want Quentin but would they want to trade Bly after just signing him last season?

[Shenlong]

bly was too much of a pivotal playmaker for detroit this season.. he was the heart and soul of there d.. theres no way they will part with him
