I think Marshawn Lynch is the most important player in this football game.

LeSean McCoy has become the most exciting player in the National Football League. I believe he’s the MVP this year.

It's much easier when your team's winning. When your team starts to lose, that's where a lot of these quarterback controversies divide a locker room. The key, as a pro, is to be a pro.

I want to win. That's the most important thing.

Alex Smith, what he’s done over the last two years for this football team, this is a mistake in not starting him. He needs to be the guy and it’s going to be tough if (Colin) Kaepernick doesn’t play well today and now you’re coming back saying, ‘Alex, we’re going to put you back in there.’

I've done it for a long time and I didn't expect it to be any different here.

I expected to play well, I expected to lead my team, and I expected to win.
