    So what.....ben's not elite.

    I believe Ben has been a elite QB for much of his career, but not now. So what, there are only a small hand full of truly elite QB's every season.
    That being said how many teams would love to have Ben under center this season and the next two or three?
    Move on from this topic, Ben can have a horrible day some times, who can't. He is still a solid QB that can get us late into the playoffs and even win a SB.
    Who cares about the elite title, I'm sure Ben does not and I know I don't. I'm still super glad he has been and will be our QB until he's not!

          Ben is very much Elite, I just think he plays down to the competition therefore the team ends result look as such. I would even say that the second half of last year he played better than Brady. And then revert back to playing down again in the playoffs until we fell behind so far.

            If it's a 5 star Qb matchup, I'm taking Ben every time.
            If it's A Ben vs Taylor, Borttles or those likes, he plays like garbage.

              Im taking Brady or Rodgers over Ben but that’s about it.

              You are correct though, if it’s Ben vs Bortles or Tyrod he tends to play bad.

              When Tyrod was in Buffalo Andrew years ago Ben almost gave the game away with a few awful INT’s in a game we pretty
              much dominated. Dude just has some ugly games every year. Hopefully it’s out of his system.

                We hope so, I hope Kc Qb gets a lot of hype this week.

                    Look up Ben's numbers after the first Jags game and you will see Ben actually outplayed Brady until money time.

                      im not asking about numbers after a certain game. im interested in what you consider an elite qb is and based on what

                        Making every throw
                        High completion taking good care of the Ball
                        Good decision
                        Large disparity between int to tds etc. Only four or five in the league total.

                          eh, based on that, there are probably 10-12 elite qbs

                              Ben and the penalties cost us that game...
                              I see no reason why we would extend Ben past next season.
