    • Tackle Johnny Culbreath was also arrested for marijuana two months ago... that's 3 members of the 2011 Lions' draft class (1st rounder, 2nd rounder, and a 7th rounder).

        • Joe Flacco says he's the best NFL QB:

          Aaron Rodgers. Tom Brady. Eli and Peyton Manning. Drew Brees. Baltimore Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco and his agent believe he's right there with the elite class of NFL quarterbacks.


          "I assume everybody thinks they're a top-five quarterback," Flacco said when asked where he thinks he ranks among NFL quarterbacks. "I mean, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'm top five, I think I'm the best. I don't think I'd be very successful at my job if I didn't feel that way. I mean, c'mon? That's not really too tough of a question.
          Guess the Ravens are winning the Super Bowl next year...

            • I'm not surprised by his comments. What else is he going to say.... I suck?

              While it may not be anywhere near reality, a true competitor has to think that way.

              • Eli did the same thing last year... that's all I'm saying.

                • I'm with Ming on this one. I bet every QB thinks the same in their mind.

                    • I mostly agree, But I always prefer when they say something more like "I rank right up there." The thinking they're one of the best is good competitive thinking. Saying you're outright the best is sometimes a touch delusional.
                      It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

                        It also makes you wonder if he thinks he has room for improvement or not... the guy who thinks he's up there but not the best has an aspiration he's trying to reach. There's a difference between confidence and arrogance.

                        There's a reason why even in victories, Brady and Peyton Manning always say there's things they could have done better and will need to work on.

                        • It's all just TV talk. These guys are hyper-competitive jocks, and generally share the same mindset.

                          For every statement like Eli's coming true in a championship, there are dozens of others that are just spewing hot air.

                              Yeah, that's what I was also trying to get to.
