    I am really interested in knowing what kind of player people around here would build their team around. Would it be a player like Peyton Manning who is supposevly the best QB in the league? Or would it be a RB like LT who can take over the game and score TD's at will?. You can also go with 3 time super bowl champion Tom Brady... or the defensive dominance of Sean Merriman. So I ask you, if you had the choice of one player to build a team around who would it be and why? If there are any other I neglect to put on the list just pick other and explain your choice.

    LT for sure. Awesome running game, makes it easier for the qb. The qb also has him as star receiver.

    Gotta go with Tomlinson. The Colts offense has been alot worse this year withought James. You obviously can't build a team around Manning.

    I went with LT too. The way he runs out of the backfield along with all his receptions makes everyone else look good around him. If I had to pick an O-Lineman I wouldn't pick McNeil because I think part of his success relies on how great LT is. I think D-Brick would be getting the same recognition if we had a back like LT.

    gotta go with a QB because theyre the hardest to find. I picked Carson over Peyton and Brady because of his age.

    I would never build my team around a RB. It would have to be a quarterback, left tackle, or pass rusher from the right side (either RDE in 4-3 or ROLB in 3-4).

    I went with Young because he is a leader. Texas rallied around him and now the Titans are doing so. If the game is close he can direct a comeback.

    He is only going to get better, especially when he gets some good receivers to support him.

    I'm on board with you... Tomlinson is AMAZING, but quality RBs come and go.. Franchise QBs do not... Young will win one or two Super Bowls before he's done... He's the best call, I think..

    As great as Tomlinson is, and as much as I like him, I had to go with the QB. Brady edges out Palmer due to his track record.
