Finally you saw the guy that I expected him to be all the time. He battled through this injury, and it's been hard on him. I know that this year hasn't gone the way that he wanted anybody to envision for him. But when everything was on the line, he stepped up.
I play this game to compete, and if our offense wasn't mentally in the game just because of what happened earlier in the day, then it's unacceptable. Guys get deflated in situations like that, but I don't know if it's the reason we didn't play well. We would have liked to have finished on a good note but didn't do it.
I'm disappointed to see Larry go. Playing with Larry was a unique experience because he was by far the strongest guy I ever played with.
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
I've got guys that are getting open for me and making plays. When that happens, my job becomes pretty easy.
They call the plays and I try to just find the guy who's open,
They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.
I haven't changed one bit, ... What I've got is ... guys that are giving me time to throw the ball.
He's starting to look like the guy we saw at the beginning of the season. I think he's getting back in the mix. As we go forward, you'll see him more involved.
That's pretty cool. He's the guy that I really admired. That's something I can tell my grandchildren about some day. It's cool to be able to do it here on his field.
That's pretty cool. It's another one of those things I'll be able to tell the grandkids about.
He's a very smart receiver in the slot, ... He does a great job with his moves at the top of his routes and gets himself separation. He has a lot of experience in this offense, so he really understands where we need him to be.
I'd be really surprised if he's not back next year. It's a personal decision, one he has to make. But I'd be surprised if he doesn't come back.
I'd be very surprised if he's not back next year.
