I feel one of the most significant honors a player can have in his sport is to have his number retired. Certainly for me to have that at Tennessee, it's with great pride.

Some guys leave a place after a long time, and they're bitter. Not me.

I am stronger than I was last year. I am throwing the ball better now in May of 2013 than I did in May of 2012 - significantly better. I got better throughout the season.

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

If your team is going to win, you need to play better than the other quarterback.

It's kind of boring to me if teams never throw the ball.

Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.
