Being there every week for my teammates is really important to me. It's about accountability. I hear stuff about the 'toughest quarterback in the league' and all that; what's that mean?
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.
You've got to remember what your priorities are. When you're playing, what u do on the field is the most important thing.
After a loss like this we just have to go back and work harder. We got outplayed and that's all there is to it. You have to let it go, move on and just work harder.
It goes without saying, winning against a good team in a hostile crowd on the road, it's just an absolutely huge win.
I've been being asked about my legacy since I was about 25 years old. I'm not sure you can have a legacy when you're 25 years old. Even 37. I'd like to have to be, like, 70 to have a legacy. I'm not even 100 percent sure what the word even means.
I'd like people to understand that I do have some personality.
If your team is going to win, you need to play better than the other quarterback.
Whatever happens, happens. I can't give you a prediction because Jim (Irsay) and I will sit down at some point and he'll get a feel for where I am and I’ll get a sense of what direction he wants to go. Right now, I have no idea.
Some guys need to see things on a grease board, ... I like when you can see it in your mind. And that's what Marvin does, too. He visualizes. He sees things in his mind so well.
I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.
The game was much like our season. This game tested our toughness, our resilience, our unselfishness. It's only fitting that it turned out this way. This is a great bunch of guys to play with. I feel very, very grateful.
I would like to think I will be a guy who knows when it's time to stop. I don't want to be a guy who hung on and hung on. I do not have a goal in mind of a year or a statistic.
My dad was a class person on and off the field. That's the person I want to be.
My job is to play well offensively and help my team score points. So I feel very responsible every time we lose a game.
Ive never taken for granted what weve had, not for one single game, not one single practice, ... Ive truly been blessed.
Some people have this impression of me: 'Boy, he's always so serious on the field. Football. Football. Football.
I feel one of the most significant honors a player can have in his sport is to have his number retired. Certainly for me to have that at Tennessee, it's with great pride.
I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.
The head coach tells us what to do, and we follow his orders.
I understand the seriousness of concussions.
When you get a lot of money thrown at you, you can make some dumb decisions without the right advice.
If people think I'm a laid-back guy, that's their mistake.
I pray every night, sometimes long prayers about a lot of things and a lot of people, but I don't talk about it or brag about it because that's between God and me, and I'm no better than anybody else in God's sight.
I have to leave the games now if the announcer says something I don't agree with. I'm thinking, 'Peyton, it is not healthy to be all worked up before a game.
