commentary...

the player with the best pure talent in the NFL is Minnesota Vikings' running back Adrian Peterson,without a doubt... however:rarely does the best player win the Lombardi Trophy... it is a team sport,and always be... there are players who have the "killer" instinct in the NFL... i admired the late,great David "Deacon" Jones and Dick Butkis growing up,because they played to win every down on the football field,both of them said in interviews that (Jones)"he wanted to rip off the ballcarrier's head off every time he tackled him",and (Butkis) "he wanted to break the ballcarrier's back every time he tackled him"... i am paraphrasing both,but you get the idea what they meant... they did everything on the field to win the game... in fact,Butkis played the last three years of his Hall of Fame career with knees that were so bad that his doctor told him to retire... he refused... there are three quarterbacks,who i would not like to face,if on defense,with two minutes left,in a game... i can not name the best of the three,and will not do it... all three quarterbacks have the true never say die spirit of Dick Butkis,and David "Deacon" Jones... who are they??? answer:(not in order)Tom Brady,Russell Wilson,and Aaron Rodgers... personally,i prefer Rodgers in that role,but all three will put "the knife" into your hopes of a win,if you face them with two minutes left in a critical game...
