The beauty and the frustration of football is that it is a team sport.
Despite the increasing importance of the quarterback in today’s NFL, no team can win a championship with its quarterback alone. Just ask Dan Fouts, Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Donovan McNabb, and Philip Rivers (no Super Bowl victories) or Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Steve Young, and Russell Wilson (one ring each). These players have all had sustained periods of top-of-the-league success while losing in the playoffs year after year.
An NFL roster must be constructed from one through 53 for a team to be successful.
