“Elite” is an elusive term when it comes to judging NFL quarterbacks. Nobody really seems to have a strict definition for it, but everyone certainly has an opinion on who is and who isn’t elite.
Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur threw his hat into one of the most popular football debates on Thursday, when talking about Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford.
“You know, Matthew Stafford, I think he’s an elite quarterback,” LaFleur said via teleconference. “He’s a natural thrower, he’s extremely accurate. I haven’t really gone against him too many times on teams that I’ve been on, but we all watch the same tape and I’ve always thought he was an elite quarterback.
