Terrell Davis explodes for big yardage and production for the Broncos. He falls to injury, and Mike Anderson, Olandis Gary, and Clinton Portis have been just as sound in the Broncos' backfield.
Kurt Warner emerges out of nowhere, but when injured Marc Bulger outshines him, and Trent Green has done very well in the system as well.
Priest Holmes is good but not great, and then goes to a Vermeil system that made an all-pro Marshall Faulk into a superstar and explodes in production.
Just 3 examples.
Does anyone else think that these kinds of players, lauded as the best in the league, are merely beneficiaries of great systems and not the real superstars people think they are?
