Peyton can't do it all, obviously.
The list is endless. Making others around them better may get the 2009 Chiefs from shitty to sucky, but it's still sucky.

but jordan looked dominant with nobody around him (other than an aging gervin, IIRC) in his rookie year. peyton looked great his rookie year with little around him (other than a marvin harrison who hadn't shown much in his career and if memory serves, marshall faulk)--26 tds, 28 ints. chamberlain didn't look like shit while he was putting up mad numbers.
I recall a few brief moments where cassel looked a bit better than absolute ass. but he never looked up to jordan or peyton levels (bringing up those around him). you have to show more than a few flashes--and I'm not convinced I saw more than one or two flashes. in the nfl today, you need one of those top qbs to win. at this moment, we don't have one of those guys.
