I take the Potter Stewart, "I know it when I see it" approach. I'm not interested in the stats, I am interested in seeing a guy make plays that no one else makes.
For example, Gerhart carrying guys on his back late in the 2009 Big Game (Harbaugh lost that one by not continuing to use his horse)Â or Best's run v. UCLA in the Rose Bowl - I was there and I still can't believe the cut he made to get away from a gaggle of Bruins (I just watched it again on youtube) or Best's performance v. Washington State in 2009 (another youtube favorite).
Sure, fans from every school could come up with their favorite players and plays. However, I'll stack Best's against just about anyone...
