If you work hard and you play well, all those critics quiet themselves pretty quickly.

In the NFL game today, there are a lot of better athletes than I am, and quarterbacks these days are faster than the quarterbacks have always been, they're running like crazy. But I kind of stick to my roots of the disciplined quarterback. You know, I'm doing the same routine every week, studying tapes and working hard, getting ready to play and making good decisions on Sundays.

When people are watching you, it makes you think twice about what you do, and the things you say, and the people you hang around with.

I remember when I first got into the league, I thought how it would be nice to have a year when you were the best. That means your team is probably winning.

When you get a lot of money thrown at you, you can make some dumb decisions without the right advice.

Certainly our job as an offense to try to score points and that's running the ball, throwing the ball, whatever it is. Somehow, someway we've got to try to score points to help our team win. That's where the focus is and it's pretty easy just to focus on that.

I understand the seriousness of concussions.
