Having an elite QB would obviously help as well.My standards on what makes an elite team are almost unreasonable. I think GB is as close as the NFL has to an elite team this year, but they could be better.What makes a team elite???1. Win the SB the previous year or at least within the last few years. - GB's got that.2. Win all or nearly all their games the current year. - GB's got that too. Undefeated.3. Possess a top 5 offense in the NFL. - GB's got that also, without question.4. Possess a top 5 defense in the NFL. - Oops. Not even close. Statistically speaking, last years Packers were a better team even though their W-L record isn't as good.</blockquote>
