How many "elite" QBs are there?

[AtlCB]

The only elite QB's are Manning and Brees.

 

[the kid 05]

come on man, ben is elite.

No hes lucked out by playing in a crappy AFC north and having refs in their back pockets. He should be 0-2 in the super bowl imo. Hes decent but far from "elite"

 

[rkell87]

come on man, ben is elite.

no. he isnt.

i thought you said you played qb?

 

[Cowboy Brian]

Favre?

Are you ****ing serious?

Couple years ago he threw the most INTs in the league and he was playing for a team that was much better than the Rams.

Favre is ****ing joke.

I'd bet you anything that he doesn't replicate last season.

Dead serious. My membership vs. yours and I don't mean in the ***** *** way like Slate.

I don't think he will either, hes still a top 8 QB and top 8 = elite IMO

Brees :laugh1:


Orton, Colt McCoy, Drew Brees.

All are system QBs, one is in a system built around them.

Elite is reserved for one or two guys, usually. But then again, what is "elite"?

n., pl., elite, or e·lites.
1. A group or class of persons or a member of such a group or class, enjoying superior intellectual, social, or economic status: "In addition to notions of social equality there was much emphasis on the role of elites and of heroes within them" (Times Literary Supplement).
- The best or most skilled members of a group: the football team's elite.
2. A size of type on a typewriter, equal to 12 characters per linear inch.

I don't believe I ever saw that game, but Roethlisberger had a spectacular game, cultivating with what 2 seconds left and winning the game with like a 30 yard td pass?



and it means nothing to me, Romo is obviously an elite QB who i'd take over any QB in the league and not think about it again.

 

[Hoofbite]

1/4th of the league cannot be considered "elite".

"Elite" set itself apart from the rest.

I'd say that right now only Manning and Brees are elite.

Tom Brady was before the knee.

Roethlisberger threw for 500+ yards on a Steelers team with no running game against a Green Bay secondary that gave up 45 points to the Arizona Cardinals in the playoffs.

Yeah.

 

[big dog cowboy]

There are not 8 elite QB's in the NFL today.

Comon' now!

so you saw a good game and it made him elite in your eyes. gotcha.

 

[burmafrd]

talk about leading with your chin...

I've seen quite a few. Guy wins games.


Everything your saying about R-Berger people say about Romo, except for the rape part. Don't have a double standard . If you want to be treated fairly, treat others fairly

the signature of an elite QB is consistency, year in and year out. bens most consistent stat is high sack totals.

honestly bro i put no stock in what you believe to be elite. the only argument you could make for him imo is that he has 2 rings and even then you can shoot holes in that from his QB rating in his first win

 

[AtlCB]

Brees :laugh1:


Orton, Colt McCoy, Drew Brees.

All are system QBs, one is in a system built around them.

You do realize that Brees had a 104.8 QB rating in 2004 when playing for San Diego and had a 96.2 QB rating in his first season with New Orleans. San Diego and New Orleans must run the exact same system and the Saints started building their offense around Drew Brees before they knew he would be available for trade.

talking sense like that is futile
