Jason Campbell vs Clinton Portis

[Mr. Scot]

Highlights: Portis says Campbell isn't a leader, while Campbell says Portis doesn't work hard.

Mike Shanahan is in Washington to cure the Redskins offense. But the team's biggest names still have some issues to work through.

Speaking on ESPN 980's "John Thompson Show" Wednesday Clinton Portis defended his relationship with Dan Snyder and said what a great teammate he is. Then he threw his quarterback under the bus, criticizing Jason Campbell's leadership and handling of his captaincy.

If we printed all the the insulting things Portis said, this would be a very long blog post. (Although he probably doesn't think are insulting because he doesn't get it.) So we point you to the Washington Post to check it them all out. It's fascinating stuff.

Campbell, informed of the comments, had enough. Portis' attitude for a now mediocre player is galling from afar. It has to be infuriating for the players who actually show up to practice.

"How is he going to say I'm not a leader?" Campbell said in a phone interview. "I mean, that's just not true. To me, that's somebody who shows that they don't know what a real leader is. A leader is not someone who leads by the wrong example. A leader is someone who is trying to do the right thing and trying to lead by example, and not just [being] about themselves.

PFT: Jason Campbell finally blasts Clinton Portis

Safe bet one (or both) of these guys isn't coming back next year. Looking at who the coach is, probably a safe bet Portis is gone. Campbell is 50-50.

Well I guess Portis wasn't signed for his intelligence or social skills.

Still this is shockingly stupid.

We'll trade you Goodson Mr. Snyder!

Shanahan apparently wants to keep Campbell around, and could likely do it (same source).

That's likely bad news for Portis.

Shanahan could make a quality running back out of damn near anyone. See ya', Portis.
