That is the problem that happens with fans IMO....these people are just cogs and the stars drive the team.....now in terms of tickets they may do that...but I bet if you ask all those name guys they will say that it's the guys behind them that allow them to do what they do.
Look at Todd the years before he got a line coach like Kromer and a line that he made and is making....yes his 1st year was big, but if you look really at what happened he had 3-4 games that made his most yards for his ROY deal....his second year he looked bad...but again look at his line....without the grunts the cat was bad....and some will come in with the injury thing....but really even injury free that line sucks compared to what is being done now.
No doubt a good/great team needs those a type players...but again it's the guys who work without the big name who actually allow those great players to do what they do....IMO.....AD? he is a totally different animal. Kinda like Billy Sims in his time...that guy did everything he did by going against a bad O-line for his seasons.... those are rare players.
