I'm not a 25-interception quarterback, I know that,
That was not the way I wanted to come out and play. It was disappointing, especially the way the offense played this season. We couldn't hit any big plays or establish anything to build on. They did a good job, but I still didn't protect the ball, and that's what it comes down to in big games.
We had a chance to do it, but obviously, we didn't. We've got another chance next week, and hopefully, we'll do a better performance.
He's been a good player in this league for a long period of time and I've always enjoyed watching him play. For me, I didn't know what was going to happen. Obviously, things were going on and he didn't feel like he wanted to be here. I didn't pay much attention to it.
He wants to play. He is a competitor, so I know he will do everything he can to get ready for this game.
He changed the game right there for us. It improved our field position and changed the momentum. It was a big play for us. When he was down you're thinking how you don't want to see anyone get hurt. He's such a key factor for this offense. You get a little worried. But he bounced back and he's OK.
Every game he just makes so many outstanding plays for us. Not only with his runs, but with his pass receiving. He?s our work horse and we are going to keep feeding him.
Nobody had many catches. There's no doubt, we gotta get him some catches.
Peyton and I aren't competitive with each other. We root for each other to do well. Last year was the first time we've ever been in the same league and playing at the same time. I'm always glad for him when he plays well and they're winning.
My arm feels fine. You still have to be aggressive, but if something's ugly and not there, you can't force it in.
After an incompletion, you can probably tell the difference,
You never know what you're going to get from week to week in the NFL.
I think a lot of guys want a son because of all of the things they do while growing up. A lot of guys want to share those experiences with their own sons.
I'm not worried about where I rank between other QBs in the league.
