I don't think I can even do Football because it is such a team sport and is so dominated by the system one plays under. Look at QB's Montana and Steve Young where they all time greats or Great QB's because of the system they operated in.

The Babe was special cause he pitched and hit. Mariano will go down as the best closer to ever play the game.

I understand what you are saying about the QB's, but right now (system or not) Peyton is making it look easy.
