My main thought is all pain is temporary. It can't last forever. You can get through it for three hours in a game and then you can suffer and cry and everything afterward. That's the attitude I try to take. I often try to focus so hard on something else that it takes my attention away from the pain.

I just think he's as smart a player as I've come across. I don't think he necessarily has the quickest feet x2014 he's not a Michael Vick x2014 and he may not throw like Dan Marino. But he's smart enough to get the ball where it needs to be at the right time.
