Stafford could become elite, but the others most likely won't. The 4 four Elites have records and at least one ring. The Very Good don't own many, if any records. So you can win the SB with a VG QB, but the rest of the team has to be on it.
Every team has a supporting cast, but Eli is always surrounded by a strong defense that puts the Giants in position to win games and sometimes championships.
Drew Brees has supporting cast of wide-outs, o-linemen etc, but our defense has been poor at best since the Superbowl season. That's what makes Drew an Elite QB, a whole squad of the team sucks, and Drew can still produce 10 wins.
That's the difference.
