Eli's inconsistency is due, to a large degree, to the fact that he plays behind one of the worst O-Lines in the league.
But he is a guy that makes big plays in the biggest moments, and that to me is exactly what defines elite.
Actually, there are a number of definitions for elite QB.
Peyton Manning is elite, because he can carry a team through the regular season, but unlike his little brother, he shrinks in the biggest moments, and there's no way in hell he wins more SBs behind that sorry than Eli has.

In their two super bowl runs, he has a 15 TD / 2 INT ratio. Had a 100+ rating in 5/8 of those games. In his last playoff run, in all 4 games he threw for 275 yards. Interesting that people don't call him elite, because there are very few QBs I'd take on my team over him.
