tbh at this point you can't really say peyton is elite without also including eli. they're like the exact opposite qb. peyton is the master of the regular season, but goes one and done like he's getting paid by the other team. eli is an okay regular season qb but is clutch in the playoffs. if eli never wins another playoff game in his life his two super bowl wins over the pats are both epic enough (the first one more so) to qualify him tbh.


surprised brees didn't make your list, but maybe the whole "new orleans needed that sb win because of the hurricane" has worn off. or the bounty stuff changed peoples opinions.

Guess Eli just has to relax with his 2 rings.. That must suck..

[Lincoln]

Brees is supposed to be on there, forgot to add him.

I'm on the fence about rapetoo tho because he has always been unspectacular to me. Flacco after this run should be elite. His playoff record speaks for itself too

[Lincoln]

I want to say Matt Ryan too because he is essentially a Peyton in some ways. Great regular season, avg in the playoffs. Although he played pretty good this postseason

[Lincoln]

Dalton and luck will be elite within 2-4 years, griffin has a chance if he learns to slide and I think cam too if Carolina can build arous him and he grows the up

[manufan10]

In no particular order:

Tom Brady
Joe Flacco
Ben Roethlisberger
Peyton Manning
Eli Manning
Aaron Rodgers
Drew Brees

[manufan10]

I think in a few seasons Russell Wilson, RGIII, Andrew Luck, Colin Kaepernick, and Matt Ryan have a chance to enter the elite category.

[Raven]

brady, brees, stafford, rodgers, flacco, big ben, both mannings. borderline matt ryan and cutler in different ways though..

[JingleJangleJingle]

most of you have like half the qbs in the league as elite...

[Clipper Nation]

Mannings
Brady
Flacco
Brees
Rodgers

RG3 and Wilson are thisclose to elite status... Rivers could get back into the discussion if McCoy and Whisenhunt can revive his career....

[DeadlyDynasty]

Big Ben is absolutely elite...you'd have to be a to think otherwise. He's played behind a perennially horrible/injured offensive line since 2006 and is one of the most clutch playoff performers of our generation.

[FkLA]

Flacco had an elite playoff run. I would like to see more consistency out of him before I put him in the same class as the others. I know he has that whole playoff win in his first five years stat going for him but he was never a game changer like he was this postseason. I need to see more tbh.

[TIMMYtoZO]

if Matt Ryan is elite, you might as well put Tony Romo in that class as well since they are literally the same type of player. That word is thrown around like it is easy to achieve. Rodgers, Peyton/Eli, Big Ben, Brees and Brady are the only elite QB's in the league.

Luck will be soon and a Flacco will be if his motivation doesn't die after his new deal.

[JingleJangleJingle]

i wonder if Romo were to win a Super Bowl next season would everybody here list him as Elite?

[Chinook]

I hate the term elite. There are only two categories of quarterbacks that matter: those who can win in the playoffs, and those who can't. The media uses the elite moniker as a means of justifying rooting for certain teams. When "non-elite" quarterbacks like Eli, Rodgers and now Flacco end up out-dueling the golden boys (and Big Ben), the media has to scramble to build an extra pedestal so they can add to their elite collection instead of just admitting that status doesn't mean anything.

Newsflash: It doesn't matter if you have Tom Brady, or Peyton Manning, or Drew Brees, or any 5,000-yard passer. You just need a team full of players who work well together and coaches who can establish a winning culture and sense of unity. Get a quarterback (and other players on all sides of the ball) who can step up in key moments, and you don't need to worry about position rankings.

Yes, but nothing less than winning a Superbowl would put him in that class. Until then he is a joke.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Ravens made the playoffs and won the SB on the arm of Joe Flacco. This team has morphed into an offense-first squad too, no longer riding their defense to wins. The 2 biggest wins of their regular season (Pats and Giants) were b/c of Flacco, their playoff wins were b/c of Flacco, and they are SB champs b/c of Flacco. He's elite. He's outplayed Brady in 2 of 3 playoff games (all 3 games were in NE), has outplayed Peyton Manning in another, and raped the 49ers defense in the SB. What QB has the playoff resume he has? I can think of 3 in today's game: Brady, E. Manning, and Rape. He has 4 more postseason wins than Rodgers and Brees with the same # of SB's. Look who he's lost to in the playoff's as well: Ben (x2), Brady, and Peyton. His team was never eliminated by Matt Hasselbeck, Colin Kaepernick, Tim Tebow, Jake Plummer, Mark Sanchez, Billy Volek, Alex Smith, David Garrard, or Rex Grossman either.

it just seems a little weird to go from being a joke to elite in a season.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

Dalton was so bad in the playoffs I question if he'll ever be elite.

[HarlemHeat37]

Dalton is the most overrated QB in the NFL IMO..

I'd go:

Tier 1: Rodgers

Tier 2: Brady, Manning

Tier 3: Eli, Brees, Rothlisberger, Flacco
