Anyone who waits for someone else to make a change automatically becomes the follower.
I'm a serious person by nature - sometimes too serious.
I'm proud to be Archie's son. Being a quarterback, I had my mentor and hero living in the same house.
You can play pickup basketball, but you can't really re-create football.
I am stronger than I was last year. I am throwing the ball better now in May of 2013 than I did in May of 2012 - significantly better. I got better throughout the season.
To all the fantasy owners who drafted me: You're welcome.
You've got to remember what your priorities are. When you're playing, what u do on the field is the most important thing.
Imitation is obviously a great form of flattery.
Some guys leave a place after a long time, and they're bitter. Not me.
I understand the seriousness of concussions.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.
In life and in sports we know that nothing lasts forever. The same year the greatest physical gift (football) the Lord gave me was taken away from me, I was blessed with the greatest gift any of us could have in two beautiful children. I’d take that trade every day of the week.
Whatever happens, happens. I can't give you a prediction because Jim (Irsay) and I will sit down at some point and he'll get a feel for where I am and I’ll get a sense of what direction he wants to go. Right now, I have no idea.
I walked around for a while angry, in a bad mood. ... 'Woe is me.' I've gotten over that. It doesn't do any good.
