I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.
I got one of those rings, ... But I wasn't on the field when we won it. I want to win a championship with the Cowboys. I am motivated by trying to do everything I can to tip my cap and ride off into the sunset with my Super Bowl ring.
No doubt this was a tremendous win, ... It was great for us and great for Parcells. It was a difficult time for him personally. To pull out a win in that fashion was pretty important.
This team is capable of winning a lot of games, ... and we can do it a lot of different ways.
We started seven years ago and finally released our first vintage in March. It's an '07 vintage from Walla Walla, which is my old hometown. It also happens to be a world-class wine region that's just exploding on the scene right now.
Fairly early in my career, I had a passion for wine just as a consumer, and I started to learn about the whole process, starting with a piece of raw ground, and ending up with a work of art in a bottle.
That's the only reason I'm here. I don't need to play the game for any other reason than to win a championship.
Unfortunately, we're in a situation where, in order to get into the playoffs, we need to win this week, and then we need some help. It's interesting playing the late game. We'll know before kickoff whether a win helps us or not.
A win like this shows what we can be when we get out of our own way,
This game was very, very important for us, not only to win it but to win it the way that we did.
He's got his little stories and sayings, ... and if we go on to win a bunch of games and bring a championship back to the Cowboys organization, he's going to be worshipped as he's been in other places.
We showed that we have a little resiliency. There was no panic ... We were able to bounce back and be efficient.
