What about just last year? Or the last four years? Or the last five? Six? Seven? Eight? Nine? Ten? Are they elite in any of those numerical time periods?
There's nothing more to say to you regarding this topic, just like every other topic you rant about. You have your opinion on the subject and you will believe it until you're dead.
If you really don't know the answer to your own question, all you need to do is look throughout this thread. I've told you why the Jets aren't elite.
I would say since 2008 or 2009 but including '07? no, going back the last 10 years? No I think over a decade you need to win a championship to be considered elite but they are in that next grouping. They have been one of the better AFC teams over the last decade plus.
I rant w/ facts to back my rantings and you change your story w/ every post. You have given multiple defintions of elite and called some elite despite your definition and others not elite despite your definition so I have to keep asking. You are all over the place.
