I'm not worried about where I rank between other QBs in the league.
Tom Brady is a great quarterback, he's a great player, and what you've seen with him is he's gotten better every year.
As a player, that's not your responsibility to comment and to give your opinion on another player. As a quarterback, I don't want another quarterback tweeting about my performance or judging me in that way.
I like making fun of myself; I don't want to make fun of other people, so I don't mind doing something out of character that some people might not expect me to do.
The quarterback, you can play with a lot of big injuries. You get a little injury like an index finger or a thumb that most people can play with, sometimes you can't. I've stayed away from some of those.
I'm the type of person who loves to stay busy, even in my off-season.
I'm worried about doing my best, playing to my potential, helping out my teammates, and trying to win games for the Giants.
As soon as you make mistakes, or you have an off year, even if it's not your fault as a quarterback... I've always said the quarterback and the head coach always get too much blame when you lose and too much credit when you win.
I'm old school. I'm locked into my own little circle. If you cross the line, you're going to get bit. They'll always know where I'm coming from and once we hit the floor, there's no doubt.
Strike one is a big, big pitch-you can do a lot after you get strike one, no matter how you get it.
Hey, hitting is hard-if you make good pitches that aren't elevated in the zone, you're going to have success.
My goal is to get outs as soon as I can. Strikeouts aren't that big a deal to me.
My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.
It's all about having fun. Play hard and fair, don't hurt anybody. Feel good about what you're doing and how you're doing it.
