Certainly our job as an offense to try to score points and that's running the ball, throwing the ball, whatever it is. Somehow, someway we've got to try to score points to help our team win. That's where the focus is and it's pretty easy just to focus on that.

I'm the best Manning.
Peyton Manning

I never left the field saying I could have done more to get ready and that gives me peace of mind.
Peyton Manning
Image
I like to be able to do things on my own. I'm a big boy. I can drive myself to an appearance or get on a plane. I like a little bit of independence...

If teams keep playing us this way, it's going to be like this.

In life, and in sports, we all know that nothing lasts forever.

If people think I'm a laid-back guy, that's their mistake.

I'm proud to be Archie's son. Being a quarterback, I had my mentor and hero living in the same house.

To all the fantasy owners who drafted me: You're welcome.

I don't usually stink. But I stunk today.

I don't want to retire. I still want to play.
Peyton Manning

If your team is going to win, you need to play better than the other quarterback.
Peyton Manning

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.
