I cannot come up with a single cogent rationale for the conclusion that Dan Sorensen is the best option to play safety in base sets for this football team.
Its no different than being absolutely sure that Scott Pioli knew more about football than I do but he simply could not convince himself that Matt Cassel was a bad NFL quarterback. He had a blind spot. Sports in general are littered with brilliant people that fell victim to bias/blind spots. "He's been that guy before" or the ever popular 'great man' fallacy.
They understand the game better than I do, but they're also more prone to missing the forest for the trees because they simply can't get removed enough from it to see what's readily apparent to those of us that are less immersed and invested in it.
They're wrong here. Dan Sorensen should not be starting for this football team.

This always happens, coaches/GMs her way to attached to players. You almost need to be sociopathic to properly evaluate talent.
