I'd actually go with 180's partner, 16, as the perfect Trent Dilfer analogy. Trent Dilfer's main role was to not screw up, convert a few third downs, and allow the stars on the team (defense, running game and Jermaine Lewis's special team returns) to provide the maximum impact on the game. If Dilfer didn't convert third downs or had multiple turnovers, the running game doesn't get their opportunities and the defense is put in poor field position and is forced on the field significantly more. In 2012, I'm not sure 16 scored any baskets outside of autonomous mode for their alliance, but was critical in stealing balls from the opposite side of the field to ensure 180 and 25 had enough easy scoring opportunities.
