Kind of like Ryan Leaf or Peyton Manning...

But it is a shame what with RG III being the best QB in the NFL and all. You guys all saw that right? Last week when asked who the best QB in the league is RGIII said, "I am..."

In the immortal words of Rick James (voiced by Dave Chappelle), "Cocaine is a helluva drug!"

Here is the whole quote, which is less about him claiming to be the best and more him making some cliched "believe in yourself" optimistic statement.  RGIII is a bit of a mess as a QB and is looking like a big ol' bust for the DC squad but to act like he just walked out and said "I'm the best QB in the league" is misleading and something that reeks of bias.  What would we say if Dalton said this exact thing?  Or if Dalton said "I feel like I'm the 19th best QB in the league, and the statistics back it up!"

“I feel like I’m the best quarterback in the league, and I have to go out and show that,” Griffin told WJLA-TV, via ESPN.com. “Any athlete at any level, if they concede to someone else, they’re not a top competitor, they’re not trying to be the best that they can be.

“There’s guys in this league that have done way more than me. But I still view myself as the best because that’s what I work toward every single day.”
