Football is big business - you can't get away from it. But you have to separate that side from the playing.

Football is one of those games that definitely relates to life in a lot of ways. Everything can be going good, and just like that, you have a turnover. Things are going south, you're going the opposite direction. How are you going to recover from it? That's the beauty in this game.

Especially in football, it is not a QB's game... even though the media likes to make it into that - it takes the whole team.

People get hurt all the time in the game of football, it's part of what we do.

Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.

What happens is once you start to understand football, you realise that it's not just about the physical side of the game and chasing after a ball. It's a strategic sport which requires a lot of intelligence. It's a very mental game.

When it comes down to it, you're playing football regardless of what offense you're in.

In football, it's the ultimate team sport. You have to have good people around you as a quarterback for things to happen.

In football, like in life, you must learn to play within the rules of the game.
