I think the game has changed, ... But I think you have to get great play at quarterback. I don't believe in what some say are game-managers.

From the time I first saw him play, up until even now, he still plays with that same enthusiasm and excitement. You can tell he just loves the competition and he's not concerned with the consequences. It's like he's still out there in the yard playing with his friends.

I've always viewed myself as an achiever. I need to achieve for myself.

I've made no bones about it, that if this would happen, it would be the greatest individual athletic achievement of my life. When I think of all the great players who have played, to be considered one of the players that helped define the game itself, it is a humbling experience.

It's a challenge we have before us. We recognize that. We go in with eyes wide open and recognize there will be a lot of hard work involved. But we anticipate having success.

It's like Peyton Manning after last year; if he doesn't throw for 49 touchdowns, then he had a down year. And I felt that people were going to be judging on that type of criteria. That's unfair. And yet no matter what criteria you're judging him on, he had as good or better a year this year than he had last year.
