Seriously. John Clayton is the guiltiest of the bunch. Pat Yasinkas (ESPN South Blog) is another offender. ESPN in general has included him in the 'elite' category from pretty much half-way through his rookie season.

We are all aware of why they do it. The league wants elite QBs, but it's offensive to just about anybody who knows much of anything about football to call Matt "Skid Britches" Ryan elite when the likes of Brady, Manning (either one really) and Drew are playing.
