7 Inevitable Training Camp Quotes You Shouldn't Buy Into

[Ranched]

So, I guess we shouldn't believe Jags Malik Jackson who claims the Jags will not only make the Super Bowl, but win it as well.

One of the deepest traps fans can fall into during training camp is buying into the stereotypical quotes that don't really mean anything. It's an easy mistake to make after waiting for months for something meaningful to be said in the NFL.
In an effort to keep excitement levels somewhat even with expectations, here's a quick guide to parsing over-hyped training camp talk.

"This is as good a team as I've ever been around."
Most likely to hear from: Cowboys, Dolphins, Jaguars, Titans, Eagles, Buccaneers, Patriots

Camp hasn't even begun and Jerry Jones already used this one. For anyone on a team that had a breakout 2016 and didn't lose too many pieces, or on a team that made a bunch of off season moves, it's an unverifiable claim that can used to pump up existing excitement or garner attention if the outlook is bland.

"I'm in the best shape of my life."
Most likely to hear from: Keenan Allen, Robert Nkemdiche, Adrian Peterson, Jaylon Smith, Laquon Treadwell, Carson Palmer, Jamaal Charles

Doug Pederson on talk radio said that this year's Eagle team has more talent than the Green Bay team he was on that won the Super Bowl in 1996. That team had Brett Farve, Antonio Freeman, Robert Brooks, Don Beebe, Mark Chmura, LeRoy Butler, Frank Winters, and some guy named Reggie White. Farve, Winters, White, and Butler were All-Pro that year.

I kind of think that the part - statement coming from Eagles player covered that.
