There's probably about six RBs I'd take right now over Chubb.
Gurley (assuming health)
Kamara
Barkley
Zeke
McCaffrey
DJ
I'd list Bell too but I need to see what he looks like after a year off. Gordon was a tough call as well. Could go either way with him. I give Chubb the edge though due to being three years younger and with a lot less mileage.
At any rate, if you're top ten at your position, you are elite.
Agree with your ranking of backs ahead of Chubb. Bell is out of the "elite" category for me until he proves he can return to form. His vision and patience are special.
I think players like Melvin Gordon are Chubb's ceiling--incredibly productive backs who don't really have a trait that pops allowing them to separate from the rest of the pack.
I think we differ on where we draw that "elite" line. To me, elite is something transcendent. You're not just really good, you do something special that others don't.
