Last time I checked neither one of them had 3 1,500 yard seasons and neither one of them every went past 2,000 yards.
And on the Eric Dickerson comment, I guess I did overlook him. TD had a better first 4 years than Walter Payton, Barry Sanders, Emmit Smith, and everybody else.

Portis had two 1500 yard seasons where he started 12 and 13 games for the season dipshit. He was traded after two seasons.
Mike Anderson was a do nothing nobody that had virtually no ****ing skills and had had 1487 at 5 yards a clip.
Orlandis Gary, another do nothing nobody went for 1159 at 4.2 a clip as a rookie.
Reuben Droughns, a guy who is out of the league and up until being with Denver had a career season high rushing yard total of 72 yards, went for 1240 at 4.5 a clip.
Had Portis hung around in Denver more than likely he would have cracked the 2K barrier or come very close because he was by far the most talented of any of those backs.
Either way, there was nothing special about Terrell Davis. He was in the right place at the right time. He was lucky enough to play in that system at a time when defenses still had to respect Elway, Sharpe, Rod Smith, and McCaffery. You could have inserted any of 100 backs back there and gotten similar results and people know this now. Davis on any other team was nothing more than a backup and special teams player.
