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.

Being there every week for my teammates is really important to me. It's about accountability. I hear stuff about the 'toughest quarterback in the league' and all that; what's that mean?

Remind your critics when they say you don't have the expertise or experience to do something that an amateur built the ark and the experts built the Titanic

If teams keep playing us this way, it's going to be like this.

I'd like people to understand that I do have some personality.

You hear about how many fourth quarter comebacks that a guy has and I think it means a guy screwed up in the first three quarters.

I would like to think I will be a guy who knows when it's time to stop. I don't want to be a guy who hung on and hung on. I do not have a goal in mind of a year or a statistic.
