Quote:why do people keep using the word "elite" so lightly as though it is the only one of two option a young QB can be -- either a bust or elite?


Matt Ryan, Joe Flacco, Russell Wilson, Big Ben, and Eli Manning are not elite QBs. (Luck has the potential to be one down the road, but he's not there yet). But they are all franchise QBs.


Teddy is not going to be an "elite" qb. I highly doubt it. But I see his ceiling more of a mobile Matt Ryan.

 

Why are you so bent out of shape over it?

 

Personally if he isn't going to be elite then I'm okay with Caldwell passing on him.

 

Sometimes guys have success somewhere but it still doesn't mean they were a guy that should have been taken by the Jaguars.

 

Good examples of this would be Kaepernick or Dalton. Neither of those guys would be winners on the Jaguars over the last several seasons.

 

I believe the same applies to Teddy, he'll never be a carry the team guy, and as such I don't care that he is having a relative level of success elsewhere.
