Now let’s try not to be ugly toward anyone l. But I think Vilma was probably the true leader of that team in hindsight. What y’all guys think?

It takes a team to win the Super Bowl. Pretty sure Brees, Vilma, Shockey, Sharper, Fujita, Will Smith, Jahri, and Deuce (behind the scenes) and even Reggie were the vocal leaders that year.

If you were looking for this years leaders, it’s probably a combo of Brees, Davis, Kamara, Thomas, Armstead, Cam, Jenkins and Morestead. Maybe Robertson and CGJ.

For the team as a whole it was Payton orchestrating the takeover of miami. As for players, it was obviously brees on offense. Vilma and fujita on defense.
Overall of the players on the team as a whole brees. Its been his team since late 2006. And he has carried on his back a bunch through those years. If you cant admit that, then you are biased.

I think Drew and Vilma were the two biggest leaders, but I wasn't in that locker room so what I think probably means nothing.

Offense - Brees, Shockey, Colston
Defense - Smith, Vilma, Fujita, Harper, Rapist

That defense had some solid guys for sure. Probably could have put Bobby McCray on there too

I think there were plenty. If you want to be direct then you say Brees and Vilma as the captains of the offense and defense.

But I think you could name a leader for each personnel grouping.

You have to have leaders that take the reigns and show others how it is done and hold them accountable.

On defense, if we are being honest, we have to say Sharper. He brought a talent and a swagger that was missing.

The fact that he became a rapist doesn't change the fact he was an important defensive leader.

Nah, I say Vilma. Sure Sharper was a really good player. But I cannot see him as a leader.

He slipped something in Manning's Gatorade right before he threw the game clinching interception.

I agree Vilma - but Fujita had to be right up there as well.
