I choose Portis, hands down.
Portis has played most of the season injured. He has the biggest heart of anyone on the Skins or in the NFL for that matter. I am livid that Zorn would call out Portis. He clearly doesn't understand the concept of "team." This year, Zorn has thrown individual players and units under the bus--Chris Samuels, for one. The offensive line as a whole. Do I think that players should be held accountable? Absolutely. But I think Portis has been accountable and more.
Heart? This is a guy that was once injured in a game making a linebacker-esque tackle on a play. He blocks. He's a receiver. He's a running back. He plays hurt. He has had enormous success on two teams--Denver and Washington. We traded a shutdown corner--Champ Bailey--for him. He's more than made up for that decision.
Zorn? Prove something first, then take on individual players.

Absolutely Portis. No question. Portis has proven himself. Zorn has not. Zorn's head coaching resume runs like this: Good start, turmoil and demise. Then, missed the playoffs (yes, the writing's on the wall).
What has he done?
Absolutely Portis. How is Zorn's team doing today? He can't coach his way out of this mess. They are behind now.

That's for the fan to decide.
