I'll take Ben over anybody. I like the way he handles the game.
I know he's not putting up a lot of stats like Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, but he needs to be mentioned with the great quarterbacks of today. He's been the leader on this team.
I just hate to see that I'm getting put into that same category because I think our situations are totally different,
I just fit the mold as far as a blue-collar guy. I may not be the flashiest, most flamboyant out there, but I get the job done for my team.
I'm not worried about Ben. I'm not worried at all.
I'm hoping nobody picks him up because I really think he has an opportunity to really be special. I want to watch him grow and grow. In a couple years, you're going to be talking about him.
I love football. I've always said that if I'm going to play, I'm going to play it full out. I'm not going to try not to get hurt, because that's when injuries occur.

I'm an emotional guy. I wanted the win for Jerome. I wanted him to go out this way.
It was just deflating. He rarely fumbles the ball and if this had been his last game, you would have hated to see him go out like that. ... I truly believe the man up above had something to do with that.
They won the division. We really wanted to do that, so congratulations to them. But we've got another shot at them and the loser goes home.
They won our division. It's redemption time. We get that opportunity, and we feel good because we won in Cincinnati.
Things can get overwhelming and hit you by storm in the playoffs. But he's calm and collected.
