I'm worried about doing my best, playing to my potential, helping out my teammates, and trying to win games for the Giants.
My thing is to be ready to pitch every five days and give my team a chance to win.
I literally and truly don't care how many points I score. I get far more satisfaction out of doing the other things that make us winners.
I'm not satisfied. I'm still enjoying this. I still feel like I'm in the best part of my career and I can play at a high level. This is what I love to do: playing football and winning games.
In New York, they like winners. They don't like second place.
It's not all about getting one guy into the end zone. It's about getting the team into the end zone, putting up points and winning games.
I've had ups and downs, that's just the way football goes. You can't win them all. It's a matter of learning each week and taking everything in. I'm not going to make every play, I'm going to make some mistakes, but as long as I'm not making the costly ones that are going to hurt the team, I'll be all right.
I've had some good games and bad games. I think I've been putting our team in situations to win most games in the fourth quarter. That's been one of my goals. But I have to improve my play in all aspects for us to have a chance to do well in the playoffs.
I'm upset. You prepare and hope that you go out there in a big game and big situation and play well, and put your team in a situation to win. And today I didn't do that. I didn't play well. I didn't make enough plays. I made too many mistakes for us to win today.
I think a lot of guys want a son because of all of the things they do while growing up. A lot of guys want to share those experiences with their own sons.
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.
