We live surrounded by critics, so let them talk, let them criticize me as much as they want. Ultimately, that makes me a better player.

Sometimes when I hear commentating, it's sickening. People who never played the game, people who never played in the league have an opinion, and that's all it is. You are here to educate the watcher or the viewer. Sometimes it comes off as personal.

Well, I think most people understand that there's a big difference between who you are and who, you know, you play.

I know, if I am playing well, I can be as good as anyone, and I want to show people who write you off and forget about you.

As a player, that's not your responsibility to comment and to give your opinion on another player. As a quarterback, I don't want another quarterback tweeting about my performance or judging me in that way.

What people think of me and my playing is up to them, not me.

I am not better than anyone else just because I play football.

I think people like players they can relate to. It seems as if people think they know me. I just think I'm an ordinary Joe who plays golf very, very well.

Over the years, I've become barraged by comments from people, such as, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn't want to be mocked.

I just play to good people; they seem to like what I do, and the more they like it, the more I play.
