I disagree with your connection between "elite" QBs and turnovers. Who would say that Tom Brady is not "elite"? Some would argue he's the best QB to ever play the game, yet he had 1 TD and 2 INTs yesterday.


Which definitely contributed to the Patriots losing yesterday. Sure, even elite QB's have TO's but when they do it often contributes to losing big games. Winners find a way to win in the clutch. They don't turn the ball over during critical drives. In Murray's case the coaching staff simply didn't come up with a winning play on the last play of the game in the SECCG. In other words, we didn't finish the drill.....

I won't argue that TOs are a direct contributor to losing games, but I don't see the argument for Matt Ryan not being an elite QB based solely on the TOs. There are other arguments to make, but this is not one of them, in my opinion.

How many QBs in this league would you call elite? I think there are very few. Bet you can count them on one hand. There is not a long list of better ones than MR. The defense did not play well enough yesterday. They play just a little bit better, Falcons win.
