The word "Elite" makes it a self defining statement.
Its not much different then saying "There are only a handful of Top 3 QBs".
Is that a Yogi-ism?

They get paid to win games not develop QBs.
The wellbeing and development of the student athletes is "supposed" to be the top priority, but we know it's not.
Because the college game is absolute trash right now offensively.
College coaches, neglecting to actually coach QBs how to play the position properly, instead have chosen the easy way out by running the read option.

Doesn't make it right or how it should be.
I mean, you are right in a sense. CFB has become so competitive that the players and their futures are getting crapped on all in an effort to squeeze out a few more wins so a coach can continue to make millions a year and ESPN can rake in billions in ad revenue.

If there has been a drafted QB in recent years who I thought would turn elite, it was Andrew Luck. I thought he was the likeliest too do so. Of course it hasn't turned that way yet and it probably won't but I genuinely thought he'd turn elite in the future. Now I don't.
Some people are too quick too throw around the word...elite.
Eli Manning has won Superbowls, same as his brother. But Peyton was elite, Eli isn't, he's just clutch.
People called Joe Flacco elite for winning a Super Bowl lol, but we all know he isn't. Just had a good playoffs.
2 Questions I'd like other peoples opinions on are...
1.) Do you think Russell Wilson is elite?
2.) Do you think JG of the Pats will become elite after he likely takes over the starting spot after Brady retires, barring injuries of course?
Because Elite NFL caliber quarterbacks encompass like 0.01% of the population. They have skills and intangibles that can't be coached. Just look at all the great college quarterbacks that have come to the NFL over the years who were predicted to be the next ______ and ended up being just average to complete busts.
Elite is a term that gets thrown around like there are many elite QB's in the league every year, when in reality, there are probably only 4 actually "elite" QB's playing this year. Once Brady, Brees and Roethlisberger retire, I don't see many elite QB's already in the league (or even in the making already in the league) to take their place.
We might be elite QB starved for a few years before new players measure up to the Brady, Brees, Manning, Roethlisberger, etc. mold of QB again.

That's all the run in high school now. They just want the QB to be another running back.
It makes me mad. My son is in 7th grade. He can sling it! Throws a great ball and placement is unbelievable for a 7th grader. However, he's not very fast and will probably never get to see how good he could actually be because he won't be playing QB by the time he gets to high school. It will be some kid that runs around a lot and throws a bullet but rarely is on target.

We are very lucky to have Brees, who is in the top 0.0000001%!
