I cannot envision this team going anywhere without Tom Brady as starting Quarterback and he leads my list of players that MUST be playing for all season if not 99% of it in order for their team to win and be competitive for a championship try.
Football is a team game for sure but there is always a guy that you can say is a 'must play guy' for the team to not fall back into the middle of the pack and is most important for sure.
My list in order of players importance are...
1) Tom Brady QB Patriots - No Brady and no Super Bowl its as plain as that (I know others will disagree but if you think those other 3 backup QBs on this roster can take this team anywhere you are fu(king nuttier than a fruitcake).
2) Peyton Manning QB Colts - For the same exact reason that Tom is needed,Jim Sorge (or whatever his name is,I don't even think Colts fans can spell it)would be eaten alive and the Colts would be nothing.
3) Brian Westbrook RB Eagles - This guy ALWAYS flies under the radar but in Philadelphia the important guy who makes a difference is not Donovan McNabb - Its Westbrook who the team relies on week after week for the team to stay competitive and he almost always seems to deliver in the clutch.
4) Ladanian Tomlinson RB Chargers- While LT has not been much of a force in the playoffs lately, he still is the reason why San Diego is so dangerous,If LT was out for a time with an injury the Chargers no longer have Mike Turner to go to and the pressure would be all on Rivers and a mediocre WR corps in SD - Rivers is a pretty good looking young QB but he cannot do it with everything on his shoulders,not yet in his career.
5) Julius Peppers DL Carolina - The heart and sole of that defense,Take away Peppers and you have a mediocre defense that worries no one,The panthers need him on every down to be a force on the front line,They have no one even close to Julius's ability so he is my #5

WHO DO YOU THINK ARE THE 5 MOST IMPORTANT PLAYERS THAT A CERTAIN TEAM CANNOT BE WITHOUT TO WIN CONSISTENTLY?
