I was never on a mission to be an NFL quarterback. I wanted to be a good high school player, and I worked hard at that. That made me good enough to play in college and then I wanted to be a good college quarterback. During college I played well enough to make it into the NFL. I never took it for granted and really wanted to play hard at each level and I have always had a lot of fun doing what I wanted to do.

In the NFL game today, there are a lot of better athletes than I am, and quarterbacks these days are faster than the quarterbacks have always been, they're running like crazy. But I kind of stick to my roots of the disciplined quarterback. You know, I'm doing the same routine every week, studying tapes and working hard, getting ready to play and making good decisions on Sundays.

If your team is going to win, you need to play better than the other quarterback.

I think e-mail is kind of a cheap way to communicate. It's a lazy way of writing a letter, you know.

You hear about how many fourth quarter comebacks that a guy has and I think it means a guy screwed up in the first three quarters.
Pressure is something you feel when you don't know what the hell you're doing.
