Well let me say that I put "elite" in quotations because I think the title is a joke. I think the argument is a joke.
To show how much of a joke this argument is.......
Eli Manning has 2 SB rings. He beat Tom Brady TWICE to get those rings. Well...he beat a Tom Brady led team twice and a team who had one of the best coaches of all time coaching it. He made crucial and timely throws to do it. Never was favored to win a SB....took some temas with average seasons to the SB......yet, no one would EVER call him elite.
Justin Herbert and Josh Allen have done NOTHING in this league. Haven't won a SB or even appeared in one. But they are elite. Why? Because they "have a arm".
The elite talk is just ridiculous. Its a term talking heads created to fill air time on slow days.
I agree elite is thrown around way too much
Few guys are elite in football or any other sport
Most are average or above, some are good to really good but few are elite
I don’t think winning a SB makes a QB elite since it’s a team sport and they are only a part of the reason their team won
More importantly the chances of getting an elite QB is so slim it’s basically luck. Having the ability to get the right pick in the right year
Teams win Super Bowls and I think in most Super Bowls defenses were a bigger factor than offenses
