I have tremendous respect for both John Elway and Peyton Manning as people and as quarterbacks in the NFL, but I was not concerned one bit with playing in their shadow.

I have great respect for Greg Knapp, who was my quarterbacks coach in Denver for three years. He taught me so much about playing quarterback in the NFL and made me a better football player.

I have tremendous respect for coach Gary Kubiak. I love that guy.

What quarterback doesn't like some speed on the outside?

I'm just concerned with winning, not individual accolades.

I had a tremendous four seasons there in Denver, and you know, those are four years that I'll always hold very close to my heart.
