......take on not wanting the players to speak of being "the best ever" and etc.

My thoughts are I'd like to hear them say things like, "I can guarantee you I will be giving my best effort and we will see where that takes us."

I feel that when players start the "best ever" rhetoric (as AB said), it leads to bad things. Many of you disagreed.

Well how about this? RG III said he thinks he is the "best QB in the NFL" as of yesterday.

Would you agree that is a moronic thing to say, considering he is 5-15 his last 20 games, and generally has sucked (or been hurt) the last two seasons?

After everything he's been through the last 2 years, he still doesn't realize to add a little humility in there and not making it all about him.

I find it astonishing and am glad Ben would never say these kinds of things. He may think them, and that is fine, but don't speak them out loud, especially when there is zero evidence that it is true.

You know what they say? What goes around comes around, kid.
