So, just what is it that makes a QB "elite"?

I won’t take away all of his credit for the comeback today. Yes ARZ played vanilla but every team does that with a lead. I just want to see us play like that in the first quarter.

Or the last two minutes when somehow you actually shockingly have a chance to win the game and the refs are trying to drag you across the finish line and yet you still refuse to cooperate.

Bryce’s weak arm was on full display during  that hilarious drive.

An elite QB is somebody who can take over a game. Somebody who makes those around him better just by being on the team. Mahomes, Brady, Manning, etc. 

The only “elite” QBs in the NFL right now are Mahomes and maybe Allen in my opinion. There are some very good QBs (Burrow, Jackson, Stafford) but they are not “elite”.

Had to get a running start to the LOS to make it go 20 yards

Elite? It's wins. It's when it all comes down to a final drive and a td wins it, and there is just that feeling in the air. The elite ones just have IT, and when teams are unfortunate enough to have to give the ball back to them near the end, they know what is coming.

Not the first time I have seen him do that. In fact during this game I wondered if he did need a running start to throw it far.

I’m not sure if I can define elite but if Bryce’s career ended today….

we would be debating the Clausen, Carr section of the Panthers rankings and where Young plugs in.  Which is below the Teddy, Allen section.  

Id say Bryce is Teddy with extra steps.  But that would honestly not be fair to Teddy.

Could you imagine Cam getting that same opportunity as Bryce at the end of the game? We actually recover an onside kick and Cam Newton comes in with a little less than 2 min, 1 time out, and 50 yards to go. That's elite! We all would have known we would win, the minute we recovered that kick.

IMO, the most critical ability for a QB is to be able to get the ball out quickly and accurately under pressure.  It is what seperates the good from the great.

It was the only drive in the second half where the D put any effort whatsoever, like the first half. If the zone could have been any softer then they would have to lay down and take a nap.

Its simple. Elite QBs can put the team on their back consistently.
