Nope, I wouldn't put Chandler in the elite class. Sorry. I'm in Phoenix and have liked him since he played here, but he isn't a Young, Marino, Aikman, Favre, Elway, etc. What he IS, besides injury prone (he couldn't play more than a few games here, either <g>) is a very efficient QB...he doesn't WIN the games like elite QBs, though, IMHO. That is up to the defense and Anderson. Of course, having the likes of Mathis AND Martin to throw to will help any QB.

As for their games, they started off with a weak schedule and eeked out the wins over Carolina (19-14) and Philly (17-12), got blown out by a decent Jets team, only beat the Bears by 7 2 weeks ago.

Believe me, I'm not saying they aren't a good team. But until they prove it in the playoffs, I won't be a believer. Also, to a lesser degree they have the same problem the Minny has...a good regular season head coach who struggles in the playoffs. Reeves and Green both suffer from MartyShottenheimeritis...make teams over achieve during the regular season (which is a sign of a good coach) but fail when the other teams step up THEIR games in the playoffs.

Again, this is just one man's opinion...and y'all won't be the FIRST ones to disagree with me :)
