Peyton Manning Nfl Quotations

I'm a serious person by nature - sometimes too serious.

I don't like to play favorites, and I do try to spread the ball around. But there's an old rule: You throw to the guys who get open in practice.

I see young quarterbacks just coming into the league, and they're throwing screens and layoffs right away. As funny as this might sound, I really learned a lot by going downfield, even in tight coverage.

Boy, do I hate to lose.

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

I've been a Colt for almost all of my adult life, but I guess in life, and in sports, we all know nothing lasts forever. Times change, circumstances change, and that's the reality of playing in the NFL.

It's kind of boring to me if teams never throw the ball.

When people are watching you, it makes you think twice about what you do, and the things you say, and the people you hang around with.

Whenever people ask you where you're from and you say New Orleans, it's always going to create a conversation.

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

My dad was a class person on and off the field. That's the person I want to be.

I want to be out there every single snap, every single play.

I would like to think I will be a guy who knows when it's time to stop. I don't want to be a guy who hung on and hung on. I do not have a goal in mind of a year or a statistic.

You hear about how many fourth quarter comebacks that a guy has and I think it means a guy screwed up in the first three quarters.

If you work hard and you play well, all those critics quiet themselves pretty quickly.
