Jon Gruden Quotes

This is a quarterback-driven league. We all know that, and we all know, to succeed and to go a little bit farther and farther and farther, you need one of those guys.

There's not one person that sets the standard better to be a New York Football Giant than Eli Manning.

The only model to me that correlates with big success in the NFL is having a Hall of Fame franchise quarterback.

I'm the best Manning.

I would have loved to have played for Joe Gibbs. Look at his record of winning three Super Bowls.

Joe Montana was my favorite. I just thought he was the best at the time. He wasn't playing too, too much when I got into high school or anything, but he was just a winning guy and he played very consistent football.

One thing that translates from college to the NFL is winners, and, I think, being a quarterback, that's the biggest thing: being recognized, winning games.

We're not all like Tom Brady, who just keeps winning Super Bowls.

Nick Foles, if he wasn't preparing like he was the starter, he wouldn't have been able to become a Super Bowl MVP.

Obviously Eli Manning is a two-time Super Bowl MVP, so he is one of the best and a Hall of Fame quarterback. So I am just excited to be in the same quarterback room as him and we will see what happens.

I don't mind sitting behind Tom Brady. That is the GOAT himself.

Head coach and quarterback have a record attached to them. And I have always felt a great responsibility to help lead our team to win games, the division and ultimately the Super Bowl.

The bottom line is that it's the NFL, and there's going to be competition wherever you go. That's the way I look at it. I've had competition in high school. I've had competition in college, and that's part of the game. That's part of how you improve as a quarterback.

I've been in just about every situation as a player and coach and manager. I've been in the playoffs, World Series, and I know how to get there.

I like watching Tom Brady, not just because he's handsome - I get handsome; I understand handsome - but he's a fine leader, he's a great quarterback, and I like the team. I'm not going to apologize for that.

I'm just glad I play for Coach Belichick.

I have tremendous respect for both John Elway and Peyton Manning as people and as quarterbacks in the NFL, but I was not concerned one bit with playing in their shadow.

I think Jalen Hurts is consistent enough.

Tom Brady is Tom Brady. He was a sixth-round draft pick. A lot of people passed up on him. He's a Super Bowl Champion, Super Bowl MVP. He's been in a bunch of Super Bowls, and he could care less about all of that. He just cares about winning the next game.

The first thing that came to mind when I met Tom Brady was intimidation. I'm showing up in 2005 with a guy who just came off his third Super Bowl win. So, it's a little intimidating walking in the room with Tom Brady for the first time.

The pressure of the World Series and the playoffs, it gets to you. But I hope I feel like that every year. Because hopefully we're playing into November every year.

I have all the respect in the world for the Patriots, and I respect Tom Brady tremendously.

Obviously, if you go to the playoffs you have an opportunity to go to the Super Bowl.

Never once was it said I was disappointed Peyton didn't win us more than one championship.

The goal every season is to win a Super Bowl.
