I knew we had one more play to make, |
I like this football team. I think we've got a personality. I think it's got something to it. Now we've just got to go and prove it. But I like this football team. |
I may be wrong, and you might fool me, but I just feel like there's a slight difference in their body motion, ... But they are awfully similar. |
I never like to be too optimistic about contracts because you're really not close until you sign them. Sometimes you can get to the brink and never get it done. But we're pretty positive about our thoughts about him. |
I once went to a basketball game and told Charles Barkley he'd make a great tight end. And he said, 'No thank you.' Most of them don't want to do it because, in football, you get smacked in the mouth. |
I really have never bought into that San Francisco game, and maybe players might have a different view, ... My feeling coming out of that game, as heartbreaking as it was, was that I thought we were pretty good. |
I said it's almost like people are numb, |
I think he's going to be a terrific quarterback, ... He hasn't even played 16 games. He's getting better all the time. He has enormous talent and poise. I'm happy this franchise will have him as their quarterback for a long time. |
I think he's got a chance. We're not doing this as a gimmick. There was competition to get him. I'm pleased we got him. |
I think it's a very solid and deep draft. I really think the top of it is very interesting. |
I think that (the) whole combine demands you to have incredible self-discipline in decision making. It's invaluable, No. 1, because of the medical (exams). But you better discipline yourself to evaluate a player on the tape of a game. This will indicate what kind of athlete they are, but usually what that does is support what you've already seen on tape. |
I think the players had to get to know him, and once they did, they'd trust him. I've known him, so I knew what kind of person he was. In the beginning, he came here with somewhat of an image. |
I was entrusted with the legacy of the franchise. I simply picked the best player in the country. If the Baltimore franchise was good enough for John Unitas, the greatest quarterback in the history of the league, it was good enough for John Elway. |
I was just overwhelmed with not only his story but the way he told it. He's such a thoughtful, intellectual, moving person. You could hear a pin drop in our interview room when he was done telling us a story. |
I was overwhelmed not only with his story but by the way he told it. You could have heard a pin drop in that room when he finished. |
