The 11 starters on each side of the ball. Special team-ers are going to be excluded just because they don't play as often as starters. Running back (I assume this refers to the tailback) is only 1/22 positions. There has been at least one SB winner with a RB as their best player in the past 22 years. (Faulk with the Rams) I think a more appropriate "thesis" would be to say running backs are not nearly as valuable as people make them out to be.

who was a better packer than favre in 1996?

if it only happened once in the past 22 years, and even that year it's a debate (warner or faulk is certainly a fair argument), then it's safe to say it's the exception, not the rule.
