John Madden: RGIII The Best Player In The NFL

John Madden never disappoints with bold statements does he?

Since John Madden retired in 2009, NFL commentary hasnt been… as colorful. He’s one-liners, jokes, and of course “BOOM” has definitely been missed. We are now only graced with Madden’s presence through random interviews, to hear his thoughts on present day NFL.

During a visit to SiriusXM NFL Radio, Madden spoke on RG3 and his presence in the NFL while comparing him to Tim Tebow:

 “It’s darn near an impossible task to open up and play the Saints in their place,” Madden said. “I mean, no one wins down there, so I didn’t expect him to do anything like he did. But I did want to see him, and I wanted to see what he had. And at some point, I have to admit that I said this, it just came out, I said RGIII’s the best player in the NFL today. That’s what I really thought. Those words did come out.”
