Confidence is a good thing, but at some point it becomes an absurd joke.

Baltimore’s Crockett Gillmore: Ravens have best tight ends in NFL
“This is the best group in the NFL,” Gillmore said of the Ravens’ tight ends via ESPN. “I’m not afraid to say it. It’s hands down [the best group].”
Rob Gronkowski
Martellus Bennett
Clay Harbor
A.J. Derby

Dennis Pitta
Ben Watson
Crockett Gilmore
Maxx Williams
Even after stepping away from the KoolAid and taking off the Homer Glasses, this still isn't close to being a debate.
To me this is the classic case of quantity vs. quality.
Now you tell me if you'd rather have 4 so so average TE's, or two elite TE's.
Gillmore has a point, because he said Baltimore had the best tight-ends group, not duo. No one will argue that the league's top 1-2 punch at tight end is Gronkowski and Bennett. They've produced the most receiving yards at that position since 2013.
But, when looking at each team's tight ends from top to bottom, Gillmore can make the case that the Ravens are atop the NFL...
Sorry, Patriots: Crockett Gillmore says Ravens' tight ends are NFL's best
Don't know why we're upset over this. Media set him up and what was he supposed to say? "I feel like I'm not worth the money my team paid me." Or "I'm not sure I'm gonna make it out of mini camp." Every single athlete in the NFL thinks they're the best at what they do.
Not saying it's right. It's not only a problem in sports but also in schools. American kids think a lot more highly of themselves than kids from other countries and they're oblivious to how bad the education standard is.
So these two guys had a love child and he plays TE for the Ravens???
oh well....all in all he's just a...nother **** in the wall....
Want a good laugh? This writer (Warning: ESPN content to follow) thinks that's a point worth debating:
Yep, New England may have the top #1 & 2 TE positions, but Baltimore wins at the all-important #3 & 4 TEs. Advantage: Ravens.
