I've always been a player and a person who wanted to be the best at whatever he did.
Money isn't always going to make it happen. It's important to be around people that have the right kind of attitude, being happy about what you're doing.
I don't think in the past. I don't think in the future. You grasp the moment.
I try to be a smart quarterback. I'm not the fastest or the best athlete, but if I can know what the defense is doing and stick to my job and what needs to be done I can make the plays needed to move the ball and score.
In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
Be committed to whatever you're doing. That's something I've taken to heart and tried to do with whatever activities I take up.
I go through life with a smile because I know things can be worse than they are.
With the game on the line. I want the ball in my hands.
You never know what you're going to get from week to week in the NFL.
After an incompletion, you can probably tell the difference,
It changed the game right there. He always seems to make the big plays when we need them.
He's been a good player in this league for a long period of time and I've always enjoyed watching him play. For me, I didn't know what was going to happen. Obviously, things were going on and he didn't feel like he wanted to be here. I didn't pay much attention to it.
He wants to play. He is a competitor, so I know he will do everything he can to get ready for this game.
He changed the game right there for us. It improved our field position and changed the momentum. It was a big play for us. When he was down you're thinking how you don't want to see anyone get hurt. He's such a key factor for this offense. You get a little worried. But he bounced back and he's OK.
