Heard this on the radio and thought it was an interesting topic...

Who is the most important player for his team to have a chance at success in the playoffs?

AFC- I heard Ray Rice, Luck, etc
NFC- Crosby, Rodgers, John Abraham, AP (if they make it), etc


I'd go with Ray Rice and Rodgers. I don't think the Ravens can be successful without Ray Rice having success. At the beginning of the year, they were very good at passing but it just isn't there right now. With their injuries on defense they don't want to be in shootouts. In the NFC, I'd say it is Rodgers. Their running game is so poor that if they aren't successful passing there is no other option.

How about the QB's in these playoffs?

Three rookies-Luck,RgIII,Wilson.
Three second year guys-Kapernick,Dalton,Ponder.
Three Former Super Bowl winners-Brady,Manning, Rodgers.
Veterans trying to prove it-Flacco,Schaub,Cutler

Awesome mix, all very,very important.



Most Important? I'll say Petersen. provide it the Vikings make it.

If payton is not there denver would not even make the playoffs.

I'm going to give a weird one. Michael turner. If Atlanta will have producers in Gonzalez ryan and Jones but if they want to make it they need to run the ball and I think turner is that answer for them

They made it last year with Tim Tebow...I think they would make the playoffs with just about anyone behind center.
