He won the Super Bowl. He deserves elite money. Brees is the highest payed QB right now? He didn't even make the playoffs this year. Personally I think he is the ultimate stat buffer. P.Manning got a massive contract and lost in the first round. Frankly he has kind of sucked in the playoffs throughout his career besides that one season when Brady went down. Brady use to be really good in the playoffs and Super Bowl but recently he has been choking.

So what makes a QB elite? The ability to beef up stats or the ability to be clutch in the playoffs and Super Bowl? The QBs I mentioned above are all excellent regular season quarterbacks but they have won squat recently when it matters. Personally I would take Eli over Peyton as well.

Flacco deserves "elite" money or whatever Eli manning gets paid. They may suck in the regular season but when it matters the most they deliver.
