When people think of running back Clinton Portis, rarely do they imagine someone willing to take less carries in order to win more games.

Whoever is responsible for trading Champ Bailey, a lock down corner, one of the toughest commodities to come across in the NFL, for Clinton Portis, a mediocre back, which by the way are quite plentifull in this league, has got to be out of there mind. It is poor moves like these that will keep the skins out of the Superbowl for a very long time.

So, Joe Gibbs is out of his mind, huh? Without Bailey, the defense, in the last two years, is top 10. Gibbs hired Gregg Williams ('Skins defense head coach) because he doesn't need stars to make his defense work well. Portis is invaluable for his toughness and his willingness to block and do what it takes to win games. In my opinion, the person who's out of his mind is Bailey for requesting to be traded from a Joe Gibbs-coached team. To question Joe Gibbs' football knowledge is, well, just ridiculous. When you've won 3 Super Bowls with three different quarterbacks and 3 different running backs, then feel free to question Joe Gibbs' player acquisitions. Until then, quietly sit and watch Gibbs turn his team into a Super Bowl contender AGAIN.
