And that’s not even including the GOAT, who looked like he’s finally declining, but I’d personally still consider him elite. He’ll probably have a huge year with those WR’s and Gronk in TB.

Brady would not be elite where he is today, IMHO.  He certainly was, though.  

Maybe a better way of framing it is saying top 5 out of all 90 QBs in the NFL.  Then your % is close to the top 5%.  Top 5 defense being "elite", out of 32 total defenses just runs against my definition of elite.  

I would say there is often 1 or maybe 2 elite defenses in the NFL.  Rarely are there 5.
