When you get to year 19 and kind of deal with some injuries and things going on, it'd be a good way to go out, i don't know if it is, but because of that possibility, I hope that he can win this game and if he decides to hang it up, go out on top.

Peyton Manning

I have felt very fortunate to play 18 years like I have, and I know how hard I've worked to play this long, when I look across at the New England Patriots and see Tom Brady is Tom Brady quarterback, I just know how hard New England Patriots's worked, as well. To play as well as New England Patriots has over the course of New England Patriots career, with the success that New England Patriots has had and the team's success, I have a lot of respect for New England Patriots. New England Patriots's earned that respect. New England Patriots and( New England Patriots head coach) Bill Belichick have earned all the respect and all of the accolades that Tom Brady get.

I've just got great respect for the way he plays the position, he takes care of himself physically and always answers the bell, every single season and every single week. There's definitely high respect from me and I appreciate some of the things he's said about me as well.

He apologized that my name was kind of brought up into this, it was no harm, no foul. It was an unnecessary apology. Tom Brady and I have had a good friendship throughout our careers, and we'll continue to have a good friendship long after we play. I really didn't give it a whole lot of attention.

All I can say about Tom Brady is he plays the position the way it's supposed to be played, he's extremely talented. He's a very hard worker, very competitive guy and he just plays the position the right way. When you do that, there's a reason you play for a long time and play well for a long time.

Having a bye week certainly helped to get back out there and practice, this year has been a unique year with injuries.

I'd be lying to say I've never thought( about it). by Peyton Manning

I'd be lying to say I've never thought( about it).

It's been a different year certainly, a different week, different approach, i think when I was in there, we ran the ball better. We held on to the ball, caught the ball better. That's just kind of how it worked out.

The allegation that I would do something like The NFL is complete garbage and is totally made up, it never happened. Never. I really can't believe somebody would put something like this on the air. Whoever said this is making stuff up.

We're just going to keep working and try to create more balance, we have five new starters on our offensive line that haven't played together. We're just three games in, we're still learning a lot about ourselves.

My mindset right now is just disappointment after today's game, i kind of need to process this game and we'll meet tomorrow, kind of need to process this game, so I'm disappointed right now.

I've always taken a pretty accurate look and fair evaluation of Peyton Manning, i'm probably as critical of Peyton Manning as anyone else and didn't play well enough today.

I get asked a lot about my legacy. For me, it's being a good teammate, having the respect of my teammates, having the respect of the coaches and players. That's important to me.

I didn't play organized football until I was in the seventh grade. Up until that point, I only played at recess and in the backyard.
