The word elite gets thrown around a lot when referencing the best quarterbacks in the NFL these days. There are some names that are universally agreed upon as having elite status. Rogers, Brady, Breese, Ben, and the Manning brothers all fit that mold. Then, there are the play callers that everyone likes to say "are in the conversation". Guys like Phillip Rivers. The talent is there, the big arm, the numbers, etc. "he just needs to win the big one." Let's stop. Right now. Can we take Philip Rivers out of that conversation please. You can not be an elite quarterback if you have games two or three times a year that you are so bad that the other 52 players on the roster can not make up for your mistakes. Same with Jay Cutler and Mike Vick. Do they have the potential to take over a game, put their team on their back and win the game? Absolutely. But that is just potential. In big spots, do you step up or collapse?
