A Quote by Steve McNair

I'm not out trying to prove anything. All I'm trying to do is go out there and help my team any way I can to win. I don't get caught up in the individual stats or the awards.
I can't go out there and be gassed and trying to go out there and make a play just for individual stats. Got to do the best thing for the team, which is to put myself out there when it's most productive for us.
The competitive nature definitely sticks out in my mind. Everybody out there is trying to win. Each individual is trying to put up more points. Each individual is trying to put each other on while playing in a team atmosphere.
I'm just trying to go out and do what I can to help the team win.
It's not like I go out on the field thinking that I'm 5-6 and I'm the smallest guy out there. I'm just trying to help my team win games.
I'm not trying to prove anything. I'm just here with the Panthers, trying to help them win.
My main focus is playing football and giving it all I got. I'm trying to go out there and make plays and help my team win.
I don't really get involved in it, the whole thing. I understand how important this city is and what I mean to this city and what our team means to the city... but I don't get caught up into it. I just go out and play my game. I try to lead the best way I can, and if I can put my team and this franchise in a position to win the title, I'm grateful for that.
It's not about individual stats but whatever I can do to help my team win, I'm going to do.
I'm against the fighting. But sometimes when you're trying to help your team, trying to win the games, there are moments when you need to get a little aggressive.
The way I figure is we win as a team and we lose as a team, but I've got to figure out some way where I can have a better April and help the team get off to a better start. I normally heat up when it gets warm, but it would be nice to come out of April and everybody is chasing you.
When I go out and race, I'm not trying to beat opponents, I'm trying to beat what I have done ... to beat myself, basically. People find that hard to believe because we've had such a bias to always strive to win things. If you win something and you haven't put everything into it, you haven't actually achieved anything at all. When you've had to work hard for something and you've got the best you can out of yourself on that given day, that's where you get satisfaction from.
That's basically what you're going out trying to do every night - help the team win.
When I'm playing in a close game, I'm out on the floor only trying to help the team win.
I'm just fighting a lot of high-level guys. I feel everyone is trying to be tactical, everyone is trying to put their A-game out there, and I have to find a way to win. I'm all about moving on and trying to get better.
I'm not trying to win individual awards.
25 years later, you know, I haven't really put too much emphasis on any kind of individual goal, other than trying to win any particular night, trying to find a way to do that.
