No team-based sport is more dependent on a single individual as much as football depends on the quarterback. Discuss.

Hockey has goalies, but you can rotate those and not every goalie is the team's lynchpin. Baseball has a rotating gallery of pitchers. Basketball requires a broad swath of talent.

you can have a Dan Marino and if you don't play defense well, you don't win...you can have Michael Jordan and surround him with slackers like Pippen -- nm - crash davis Dec 14, 19:53
I'd say it's more possible to have a weak team surrounding one star player in basketball and still be successful. - mafic Dec 14, 19:52 1
- That's fair. But to flip it: A bad QB sinks a team. A bad goalie or center doesn't. -- nm - Mop Dec 14, 20:08
