In baseball, especially when it comes to hitting, one player can't make his teammates play any better. Same is true for pitching. In football, they all work together, and one player's leadership and playmaking ability can create opportunities for his teammates to also play better.
So there's an inherent flaw in your analogy.
Now, moving on...
If the Colts had Tom Brady as their quarterback, is there any reason Harrison, Wayne, James and Clark wouldn't have at least ONE Super Bowl ring by now? Let's be serious here.
On the flipside, if Manning was the quarterback of the Patriots, would you be willing to bet your own life that Branch, Givens, Faulk and Graham would have won the Super Bowl
three separate times?
LOL!
Let's be real. Manning is the biggest reason why the Colts teams were always "very good" every year, and ironically he was also the biggest reason why they were never "great." Likewise, Brady was the reason why the Patriots became a dynasty and not just a poor rendition of the Baltimore Ravens with Bledsoe as their QB.
