If anybody should be a judge of quarterbacks, I've played with the most quarterbacks in NFL history throughout my first four years.
Drew Brees, Kyle Orton, Curtis Painter - the recent legacy of quarterbacks at Purdue speaks for itself. I think it's 'Quarterback U.' The facilities are just beautiful. I didn't expect them to be as great as they were.
Texas history is a varied, tempestuous, and vast as the state itself. Texas yesterday is unbelievable, but no more incredible than Texas today. Today's Texas is exhilarating, exasperating, violent, charming, horrible, delightful, alive.
In the NFL game today, there are a lot of better athletes than I am, and quarterbacks these days are faster than the quarterbacks have always been, they're running like crazy. But I kind of stick to my roots of the disciplined quarterback. You know, I'm doing the same routine every week, studying tapes and working hard, getting ready to play and making good decisions on Sundays.
I like to be try to be a mentor to some of the younger quarterbacks in the NFL.
I give NFL quarterbacks a lot of leeway for a couple of years.
McKinney, Texas is the number one place to live in the country. It's certainly the number place to live in Texas according to Forbes and all these other. Wonderfully integrated, it's upscale.
You have to have quarterbacks who can keep up with everybody else. And I'm not saying that just black quarterbacks can do that, but more black quarterbacks are given a chance because they fit the mold.
The Bushes were certainly part of Texas in their mind, but they didn't have the kind of political flavor that you normally find in Texas politicians. It's just Texas is such a unique place to itself that politically, at least so far, they haven't found anybody to play nationally.
I speak for myself, my record speaks for itself, and my ability speaks for itself.
It's hard not to follow other careers of NFL quarterbacks in the 24/7 news-at-your-fingertips society we live in.
The ability to overcome pain can be a testament to the human spirit, and it's oftentimes what sets NFL players apart from armchair quarterbacks.
I have tremendous respect for both John Elway and Peyton Manning as people and as quarterbacks in the NFL, but I was not concerned one bit with playing in their shadow.
A lot of my family is from Texas, stuff like that, so I was always in Texas, and when you grow up in Texas, around Texas, you want to go to the biggest Texas school, and UT was that.
Stats are for losers, and the one thing I'd like to point out, while at Wyoming, we won games, and I definitely think that's how quarterbacks are judged in the NFL.
East Texas isn't known for producing quarterbacks. I was never really on the football circuit. I wasn't the type of guy that put my name out there.
