I grew up in Texas, obviously a huge football state

The only team that believed in me was the Saints, and I feel like I owe them a great debt of gratitude. I want to give them what they saw in me-a guy who could lead this team to a championship.

We've got something special going here. We want to keep it going. You don't have many opportunities like this, and the window of opportunity for us is now.

When you care about a guy beyond just the field, that's when the chemistry becomes really special.

I expect to make big plays. And when I don't, I'm upset about it.

Four years ago, who ever thought this would have happened?

I was honored to spend time with the President on an issue that is clearly important to him. I was also impressed by his wide receiver skills.

It's my job to get us in good plays, or more importantly, out of bad plays.

We always try to mix it up-three-step drop, five-step drop, seven-step drop, naked bootleg. We spread out all these kinds of things to keep the defensive pass rush unbalanced.
