You have to gain respect from your teammates. You have to earn it.

A guy like myself wants to make a play and be the difference, but the thing is I have to keep saying to myself to just do what I can.

My first option is not to run. I am not a runner. I'm a quarterback.

I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.

I want to be the man. I want to do what it takes to win.

Now that I have confirmed that the Vikings have been seeking to trade me, I have asked for permission to speak to the interested teams. The Vikings have denied my request. If a trade does not happen, then I am asking the Vikings to terminate my contract as soon as possible.

There is no way I'm going to doubt myself at all.
