Ben threw for 300-some yards. Any problems he might have had, I think, had to do with planting his foot.
Ben's our guy. He can take us places.
Ben might not have the numbers of Peyton Manning, but it's time that he started being mentioned as one of the great quarterbacks in the game.
Ben is different with his confidence this year. He has trust in everyone around him and he makes the team work for him. He has been a phenomenal leader.
Ben has a desire to be the best. You can see that in him. He's going to be a great quarterback for a lot of years.
Ben doesn't put up numbers like Peyton Manning, he just wins.
Ben actually looked to the left and I had a hitch route. It was only about six yards, so when he came back to me, I kind of figured Champ was driving on me and that's not how you want to start the game, with a pick for a touchdown.
Every time coach puts on the highlight tape, Casey is a force to be reckoned with.
Everybody gets excited seeing him throw. But in our case Tommy right now gives us the best opportunity to go out and win ball games. You can't blow off a year in this league. I'm glad I don't have to make the decision, but right now Ben's not comfortable enough to go out and lead our team just yet. But when he's ready, he's going to get his opportunity.
Everyone thinks he's tough. He is, but he's a players' coach. His door is always open if you have a problem, or just want to talk. Yes, he gets angry, but most of the time, he's right.
Everyone thinks he's tough. He is, but he's a players' coach.
At this point, mentally, the season's been long for both teams. Physically, we're fine. At this point, everybody's banged up. What motivates us is we're one game away from the Super Bowl.
We're the same team that went 15-1 last year and made it to the championship game.
We were down 10-7 for the longest time. We had chances to make some plays, but we just didn't do it. Their defense had a lot to do with that. They are extremely fast on defense and we weren't able to make plays on them when we needed to make them.
