You put the cart before the horse - team chemistry is a requisite for winning. Look at the Skins "super team" Snyder bought in 2000, and the first two Patriot Superbowl teams, which were largely role players. The Skins lost and the Patriots won. You simply CANNOT have team chemistry if there is dissension in the locker room.

You brought up Indy, which is a perfect example. That is a team of superstars, but no egos. You don't hear Marvin Harrison say "Give me the damn ball" because he hasn't broken 1000 yards through 12 games.
