1. Peyton Manning -- agree there. He's the life of the Broncos.

2. Aaron Rodgers -- he is the one that drives the Packers to where they're going. If he goes down, they'll get destroyed. The offense can't move without him.

3. Tom Brady -- again, the life of the team. Without these 3 QBs, their teams wouldn't have much, if any, success.

4. JJ Watt -- he's a huge part of the Texans' pass rush and is driving their defense to the success they're having.

5. Aldon Smith & Justin Smith -- this is a tie. They're huge in each other's success and they're the 49ers' pass rush. HUGE part of their defense.

7. Russell Wilson & Marshawn Lynch -- both players are extremely important to the Seahawks' offense. Without either 1 of these players, the Seahawks wouldn't be making the playoffs.

9. Andrew Luck -- without him, where would the Colts be? Probably another 2-win season sitting in a prime position for a solid draft pick in this year's draft.

10. Matt Ryan -- how can you have Michael Turner over the Falcon's QB who has 31 TD, 14 INT and 4400+ passing yards on the season? Ryan is more important to ATL than Turner is!

I'm sorry, but I can't take anything you say seriously after you shut down Luck like that and say a 10-5 Colts' team sucks. And how, exactly, are the Colts in last place? You do realize they're going to get the 5th seed right? I mean, that's not news to you, right? Luck has driven the Colts from a 2-14 team last season to a 10-5 team and is giving them hope that they can make something happen in the playoffs. When you talk about their game against the Pats, that was one loss. Luck had more passing yards than Brady and 1 less TD (granted he had 3 INT) but he was still a very important piece for Indianapolis. Did you forget the Colts' victory over GB?

No, that's not the reason Ryan's numbers are so big. Ryan's numbers are so large because he's a good QB who is leading the team to victory and has led them to 13-2 record so far. Yeah, he'd be hurting without Turner, but the team wouldn't be destroyed. Without Ryan, they don't have a chance.

I'm curious as your reasoning to have 3 Patriots all in the top 5 including TWO TEs? Why are both TEs important when both have struggled with injuries all season?

Tied for 5th are Aldon Smith & Justin Smith so there's no 6th.

My leader? I have multiple leaders on my list: Tom Brady, Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Andrew Luck, Matt Ryan. Any QB I have on my list, you can classify as a leader. And don't get me started with the defensive selections as JJ Watt is the leader on the Texans' D, you have Justin Smith being a leader for Aldon Smith and you have Marshawn Lynch who I wouldn't call a leader, but as a very important piece to the Seahawks' success.

How do 2 TEs need to be on there when they haven't even played the full season, yet the Patriots are still winning? And you think Shockey & Graham are some of the best TEs in the NFL? Do you not have a knowledge of the history of the NFL?

Gronk has played in 10 games this season. 3 of those games were losses in which he had 14 rec, 157 yards, 1 TD.
Hernandez has played in 9 games this season. 3 games were losses, but I won't count a game he didn't record stats in against Arizona, so I'd even credit it down to 8 games played! 16 rec, 122 yards, 2 TD.

I don't see how when they miss games, they're key to the Pats success. They aren't more important than anybody on my list. How can they be?
