I played eight years without really being hurt seriously and hadn't had to deal with that part of the game. So, to get hurt and to have to miss games, that part of it was very hard. And so when I came back and somebody else had my job and I couldn't get it back. You know that was hard.

I'm proud of what I've accomplished, but I'm not there yet. I want to win that final game of the year.

To be mentioned alongside guys like Marino and Elway, guys who were my heroes growing up, that's heady stuff.... These were the guys I pretended to be at recess.
