They've had our number the last couple years. Their quarterback is one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

I think Ricky is a tremendous quarterback, probably one of the best quarterbacks I have ever been around,

The guy's one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL. To tie him up and say he just has to do what we expect him to do, hey, the defense may not be cooperating and there may be something better . . . why not? He's out there, he's a good athlete, and he understands what we're trying to get done.

That went to number one in the charts and really catapulted me into the big league.

It was one of those days. You can be a quarterback or a kicker or a major-league pitcher. Those are guys that just have bad days.

I'd be surprised if one quarterback in the league could compute his own rating. Peyton Manning is as cerebral as it gets, and I don't think he'd have a first clue.
