I agree, but a "great" back would succeed in any system.
Portis is a top 10 back at best.
He stumbles and bumbles WAY too much to be considered a top 5 type back. Mediocre receiver, no nose for the endzone, and a complete all-or-nothing back.
Like I said, take out the big run he'll have from time to time, and he's always getting sub-4 yards per carry. I think back to his first game last year against Tampa.
Takes the opening carry 60+ for a score and averages about 3 per the rest game.
