I dunno. playmaker to me has that *boom* factor; where you're watchign the game and BOOM; he breaks it/intercepts it/ sacks anf forces fumble / launches a perfect 40yd pass in tight coverage etc.
Good point about the cornerstone issue; you're right. that's a whole other bal of wax.

While I understand, too much importance is being paid to the home run.
Example, what's the difference between a guy like Reed intercepting a pass, taking a knee, thus icing the game, or a guy like Gonzo going over the middle, making a difficult catch in traffic, moving the chains, buring more time, thus icing the game?
Playmaker to me = enormous impact. Not a facilitator. Which is why we don't ever talk about playmaking LTs. They're "franchise" LTs. Important distinction.
