Elite can’t just be a few good/great regular seasons unless you have hardware or at the very LEAST amazing postseason performance with some bad luck. Burrow only has the regular season which isn’t enough considering he’s not even blowing out the competition in that.

Wait, what? Burrow has as many playoff wins in a few seasons as rivers did a long career. And more than Matt Ryan’s career. These guys were never ever considered in T1 and were lucky if they were even T2. And these guys played with loaded talent. Rivers initial supporting cast was absurdly talented.
If they played in todays game rivers would be on Herbert’s level. And Matt Ryan would be on a stafford level, maybe a little better than cousins. These guys aren’t even remotely close to burrow. Without a doubt he’s qb2 and there’s a big distance to qb3, and that’s considering that Allen has been pretty decent and productive.
I’d say it’s more than fair to say at worst he’s Brees. and that’s pretty elite.
