I think the media has been throwing the world elite around way too much lately.
Brady is an elite quarterback, Manning is an elite quarterback, Eli is an elite quarterback.
Rodgers is a great quarterback with the jury still out on him.
Elite in my eyes isn't a word the fickle should be throwing around. An elite status isn't something quarterbacks earn after one great game or one great season like the ESPN's of the world like to pretend.
In my mind elite is a term earned by those who show a consistency for being elite year after year after year after year. It's something you earn over the course of your career, not something you get after one big game (Flacco).
