The top 4 players in the league have to be the top 4 QBs.


bullshite.

4 most valuable players? Sure.
But if you're speaking about pure playmaking ability, don't see how you can leave off the guy who broke Jerry Rice's record or the guy who came within inches of Erik Dickerson.

Absolutely correct. I have great admiration for a RB who is the only weapon on a team; everybody knows it and they still can't stop him. Those types of guys come around once in a generation. Peterson is certainly a Top 5 RB of all time...period.

As for Graham, I'd put him in the Top 50. If he was on another team without Brees making the throws and Payton calling the plays, he would never break the 100.

or the 3-4DE that may have put up the single most dominant defensive performance in history.

81 tackles (69 solo)
23 STF
20.5 Sacks
4 FF
16 PDs

That is more of what I meant but those guys beating those records don't mean much.

Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady all have WAYYY more records than megatron or AD combined.
