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.  

Pats, 9ers, Bills, Ravens, all were last season, imo. You could also make a case for the Steelers who had no business winning 8 games without Ben.

But going back to the QB’s I mentioned, even leaving out Brady which of the other 5 aren’t elite in your opinion? I think you’re getting too wrapped up in percentages honestly.
