We've had some very good meetings with everybody involved (on) the executive side of it. I feel very good about the strategy. |
What Peyton is doing is phenomenal. It's a totally different approach than what Dan Marino did in 1984. It's a system where he just dissects you. He makes you wrong. |
What's gnawing at me is the fact that I've not done as well as I expected to do. |
When that begins to happen you just have to pay attention to the call of what's going on in society. |
With his shoulder, I don't think we saw everything that he could do. |
You always have to take each individual situation. (For) some players it's a lot easier to be here all the time and some players it isn't. |
You go down to Florida State and he is kind of the No. 1 guy on a team with a lot of big-time players. They fashioned him to be on the level of a Derrick Brooks when he came out of there and (he) was a big-time leader and helped them win a lot of games. |
You have to understand that this is the all-time completion-percentage leader in the history of the NFL, ... This is the second all-time quarterback rating. He has been phenomenal when given the opportunity. |
You know what? I don't mind that. That would mean we're doing well and that's just part of it. |
You know you're always going to have competition. |
You look at his ability to go out and run the football, and that's an element we just have to have. We are extremely excited. We had a great weekend. |
You've got a reason to play, and I think if you have respect for the game, you try to win. We'll try to show that on Sunday. |
You've got to be patient in those aspects of the game. It can't. I mean, we're just happy that everybody's reached agreement. I think he'll be pleased with his contract, and as long as it's a fair deal, then I think we can live with it. |
