Case in point, the Eagles and Brian Dawkins.

I agree, but at the same time I think Bill Simmons is on to something with his idea that every team needs a VP of Common Sense. If the Skins were to trade up to take a QB, or to trade our 1st and 3rd for Boldin, or whatever other crazy scheme we've all convinced ourselves the FO is planning, we need a voice of reason that can kick Snyerrato in the junk, figuratively, and make them realize the hole that they seem to be digging by ignoring the lines.
Yes the fans can be very irrational and stupid, but is that any different from how Snyder runs the team?
