Twitter’s reaction to Robert Griffin III saying he’s the best quarterback in the NFL
Andrew Weber-USA TODAY Sports
Washington Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III told Alex Parker of WJLA that he feels like he’s the best quarterback in the NFL.
“I don’t feel like I have to come out here and show anybody anything or why I’m better than this guy or better than that guy. It’s more about going out and affirming that for me, I go out and I play, I know I’m the best quarterback on this team. I feel like I’m the best quarterback in the league and I have to go out and show that,” he said. “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.”
Well Twitter had a ball with Griffin’s comments.

RGIII thinks he's the best QB...with braids??? If he meant with braids, then yes, that is a true statement.

RGIII says he is the best QB in NFL. And? Why do people get offended that someone thinks theyre the best. Is he supposed to say he's not?

Believing you have what it takes to be the best is much different than thinking you are the best. Check yourself #RG3 #Redskins

If you read the full RG3 comment, it is very reasonable, actually I good mindset to have, but you have to be self aware
