If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a quarterback who thinks playing quarterback is just about passing.

There are times when I'm watching an NFL quarterback struggling to get through the game, and I get bitter to some extent.

I haven't seen a quarterback play a perfect game yet.

That's what we really mean by being feared on the football field. And not actually the player that fears him, it's the offensive coordinator that fears him or the running backs coach.

When you're 0-2 in the Super Bowl, they say unkind things about you. They say, 'He can't win the big one.' And that's the worst thing that can be said about you.

The quarterback is the most vulnerable one on the field. He's in an awkward position a lot of times when he throws the ball. So he does have to be protected. You lose a quarterback, you're in trouble. I don't know if they can make it too safe. I think health becomes an issue.

The worst thing that can happen to a man is to lose his money, the next worst his health, the next worst his reputation.

The key thing with any football player is, what can he do when he gets on the field.

Any quarterback that understands what the offense is really about is going to succeed.

The quarterback, you can play with a lot of big injuries. You get a little injury like an index finger or a thumb that most people can play with, sometimes you can't. I've stayed away from some of those.
