If they miss the playoffs, will he still be elite?

What is this 21 questions?

Romo missed the playoffs last season and the year before and I still considered him to be elite. Same case with Eli.

E-Lie is horrible when pressured.

He is an average QB at best that doesnt get a whole lot of real pressure and has had some good fortune inspite of himself.

Your definition or standard for elite must be lower than that of most.

REALITY CHECK!!!! When you are a QB of a team who misses the playoffs for more than one season you are not elite

I don't agree with that idea at all because I think you have to take into account the supporting cast and did they help out the quarterback or did they let him down? Last season Romo's supporting cast let him down. He had his best season and the Cowboys failed to make the playoffs because the defense couldn't get clutch stops. For the Giants again Eli has been subpar the last weeks, but so has the supporting cast. The recievers are uncharastically dropping the football alot and the pass protection hasn't been nearly as rock solid as it was at the start of the season.
