I've never believed anyone could put more pressure on me than I put on myself. People expect great things from me. I expect great things from myself.

When I get on the field, I feel unstoppable.

I'm a country guy from Mississippi who keeps it simple.

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

It was the family tradition. I wanted to live up to the name-McNair.

I actually enjoy the pain. That's what gives me the fire inside to get up and keep going.

I really find myself doing a lot better when I'm injured, so sometimes I look forward to it. This is the style that I play-being physical, running the football, making adjustments on the pass, avoiding the rush. Those sorts of things go with the total package of a quarterback.
