  • A one man football team.

    Brett Favre in GB, Barry Sanders in Detroit, Randy Moss in Minnesota.


    These guys all by themselves have or had the talent to completely change a team for the better. Without them on the field, their respective teams would have easily suffered some incredibly bad seasons. Granted, not every year that they played was great, but without them, the teams would not have been nearly as competitive, nor would they have had nearly as many wins.


    Sure, Favre needed someone to catch the ball, Moss needed someone to throw him the ball, and Barry Sanders needed blockers..........ok, maybe Sanders didnt need blockers, lol. Who else can you think of that made that kind of change to a team?

    Before Terrell Davis came along, John Elway led some Denver teams to the Super Bowl that had no business being there.

      T.O. is a one-man team, at least in his own humble opinion...

        I think Culpepper was the real deal in MN. He could beat you with his arms. He could beat you with his legs. And he spread the ball around - not just to Moss. Moss certainly gave that team another dimension. But he wasn't a one man wrecking crew. In fact I think Sterling Sharpe dominated on the Packers more than Moss did in MN.

          Walter Payton in the late 70's and early 80's elevated some pretty otherwise crappy bear teams. Might say the same about OJ and the Bills and Marino in '84.

              Maybe not for the past 2 season but before Drew Brees had his breakout season Ladanian Thompson in San Diego.
