Geez, what a toughie, X!
But a fun topic for the summer doldrums time of year, that's for sure.
I would love to have an "all of the above" vote because I truly think that was a synergy year if ever there was one. The whole became far greater than the sum of the parts, as magnificent as those parts were.
Besides, it's kinda like being asked to pick your favorite child. Lol.
But in the spirit of the topic and after an excruciating process of elimination, I cast my vote for Warner.
It all starts with the QB.
He touched the ball on every play.
He read the D and changed plays as needed.
He always seemed to know which man would be open.
He had an uncanny ability to hit the receiver in stride.
He could complete passes short, medium, and deep.
He used ALL of his weapons giving the D no ability to "cheat".
He fearlessly held the ball for that last split second enabling his target to get free.
He was "throwing his man open" before the term was even invented.
I think we might have made the playoffs with Green, but I doubt we would have won the SB without Warner. His skills enabled Faulk, Bruce, Holt, and others to be all that they could be, IMO.
Having said all that, what a remarkable group of players were assembled on that team. Offense, Defense, and ST were all loaded.
Simply loaded...
