It's not always statistics that determine the best player, especially the quarterback.
As a quarterback, your job is to move the football and win games, to be a leader on the field.
In college, I was making a lot of presnap reads. It was much easier.
As a kid, I used to practice my signature, working on the way I wanted to sign my autograph.
If head coaches weren't important to the success of a team, then owners wouldn't fire them all the time.
Whenever anybody has talked about concussions, they immediately talk about me and Steve Young.
I would bet you that even though people think I absorbed an inordinate number of head injuries, I'd say relative to the number of guys who have played this game, I would say that my head injuries were relatively small.
I don't want to be the poster boy for head injury. I shouldn't be the poster boy for head injury. I have really tried to distance myself from that.
It is relatively easy... to determine whether or not a blow to a quarterback was deemed excessive or incidental. So I'm discouraged that there have been a number of games that are influenced - not that the outcomes are in question - but a number of games influenced based on the protection of the quarterback.
I'm not a guy who needs the spotlight. It's not something I have to have. I'm content to sit at home.
I don't try to please anybody. I try to win.
I think it's nice to win awards, but my goal is not to win the Heisman: it's to get to the Rose Bowl.
I'm a drop-back passer, and those seldom win Heismans.
I was 0-11 as a starter, and there were times when I walked off the field wondering if I'd ever win a game in the NFL.
Playing a rookie at quarterback tells the other players that you're giving up the season.
I do not have a son; if I had a son, I wouldn't necessarily discourage him from playing football, but I don't know that I would encourage him to play, either.
As long as we're having contact and as long as there are collisions, there's going to be head injuries. What the long-term consequences are of that, we're beginning to learn, and that definitely will have an impact on the game as we know it.
I don't think Dallas has ever really had a great home field advantage.
I handled myself as a quarterback in the manner I thought necessary.
I've always known football.
