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.

The Super Bowl tickets, that's the worst headache. I'm glad they gave us the week off. You really need a couple of days.

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.
