We're very glad we have him. He's a guy that's won a lot of games in this league. Players respect him because of what he's done, how he's come in here and handled the position we've asked him to take. Obviously, if something should happen (to Pennington) we feel like he can go in the game and play and win for us.
At this point, it's 2006, and we got our first win of 2006. It's something to kind of laugh about, but it's important for us to point this organization in the right way. ... Like I have said many times, it's not a condition; it was just a season. It's over for us.
We've had opportunities late in games this season, but we haven't been able to quite get it done. We have to get better on the road. We have two home games left. We can win those and give us some momentum.
Obviously it's not what you anticipated going into the season. It would be good to get a win at home.
Obviously, if we don't win a game soon here, we're going to have a high draft choice,
He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
He's a tough guy, he wants to make the kick. He looks forward to helping us win games with his leg. When he goes in there, he has an excellent chance to make it.
He gave us the best chance to do what we needed to do to win the game. I had reservations, but he was able to go in and do some things.
You just got to keep working, try to win a game, make yourself feel better,
It would've been a good win for all of us, because we could use one of those right now,
Anytime you change offenses on a guy, that's tough, ... Chad doesn't want anyone to feel sorry for him. He understands what's going on. At the end of the day, he's going to be a very good quarterback in this league. He's going to win a lot. And he's won. He's won a lot of games here already. He's going to get better and we're going to get better as a team. That's my belief.

I'm not going to bring anyone in here who's going to distract the football team and not give us a chance to win the championship. That's where it stands. I haven't talked to him.
That's what they ruled, ... We still had chances to win the game after that.
