When you're the older guy, everybody talks about you. When you win, everybody talks about you. When you lose, everybody talks about you.

That's the NFL: Not For Long. First year's a welcome year. Second it's, What are you going to do? Third year's like, Well, you didn't do much last year; give us something or you're going. That's the way it is. They'll trade you or they'll cut you.

I'm from Chicago, and I loved the Bears.

As a quarterback your job is to drop back and give it to the open receiver, let them run. Obviously, there are times when you get some pressure and you have to make decisions, step up in the pocket and buy time for your receivers and deliver the ball.

I've learned since childhood that you control only the things that you can control. Everything else, let it take care of itself.

I've always believed in finishing where you started. I think there's a lot to be said with that.

I believe in second chances and I have strong faith in God that he forgives our sins.

You have to focus on your job, and if you focus on your job, you block everything out.

I think you get in a situation where once you start hearing the boos and hearing the radio stations talk and people on the outside begin to bring your name up of being benched, then you begin to lose focus, and now your play begins to fall and you begin to focus on other things.

Dan Marino never won the big game. Does that mean his career is a failure? No, not at all.

I have nothing but love for the Philly fans, even the ones who were highly criticizing me or opinionated in any way.

There was never any animosity from the Philly fans.

The team only goes as far as their quarterback takes them.

Staying healthy is very key in this league.

I think in a lot of ways, I handle the leadership role a little different than others. I'm not going to rah-rah or slap you across the helmet or push you. I'm going to talk to you.

I like to be try to be a mentor to some of the younger quarterbacks in the NFL.

When you don't make the plays that you know you're capable of making, it's frustrating.

Every player has a chip on their shoulder about something.

Sometimes you're forced into change.

At 75 percent, I personally feel I can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league.

You want to play a whole game, but in the preseason you've got to be smart.

When you come off of injuries, you don't want to rush things.

I loved Dan Snyder, I love his attitude and his approach.

You know what, as I look back on that year, I was very excited on joining the Washington Redskins.

I'm very hard on myself. If it's a throw that I missed that I know I can make, that's something that I have to correct.

In this position I play, it's just repetition and continuing to throw the routes and getting that velocity back that you would throw in game speed.

I've known and seen a lot of things over my years.

If I can't walk, then I can't go. That's just the way I play, no matter if you're banged up or what, you've got to be in there.

My work ethic has never been a question.

I'm used to the two tight-end sets.

I think at times, too many people focus on just little things and not focus on what the whole question and the whole answer is.

I've never attempted or even tried or will ever throw anyone under the bus. That's just not me. I don't do that.

People were saying John Elway should retire until he won the Super Bowl.

Everybody works on mechanics, no matter what position you play.

I'm all about winning. I'm not about numbers.

I take this game very seriously.

I love everything about this game.

Building a trust takes time.

As an NFL player, and as a veteran in this game, no one cares what you're doing during the offseason. They only care about what you do on the football field.

Nobody has been criticized as much as I have.

When you're critical of yourself and your play, you just look at your reads, you look at how fast you can get the ball out.

Obviously, you look at footwork and things of that nature, but that's not just at my position. That's from everyone.

Everybody loves the backup.

When things go well, the quarterback is the one who sees all the attention. When things go wrong, they are the ones who get criticized the most.

This is something that I think has been going on for before I played football - just kind of guys sitting down with some of the younger guys to prepare them for what they'll be faced with.

Work ethic starts where everyone understands that you're putting that extra foot forward in order to be the best.

Michael Jordan was criticized. Barry Bonds was criticized. Some of the greats in every profession have been criticized. Not everything is peaches and cream.

Everybody suffers through some type of adversity. Does it make you stronger or does it pull you down? And I never will let any of that pull me down or pull me away from what I've set to achieve.

I'm just like the rest of the guys. I'm a little different in a lot of ways, but I'm still a player with a number on his back and if I'm unable to produce, they'll find somebody else to fill my spot.

I've talked to other players that have been to the Super Bowl and about what happened the next year. Everybody becomes stars. Everybody feels like, 'I'm the man.'
