Tom Brady Team Quotations

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it's digging deep, it's doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

I don't want to wake up and be bored. That's probably my greatest fear is to have nothing to do. What better job is there than to play quarterback for an NFL team, and certainly one that I've been on for a long time and had success with? I don't plan on giving it up any time soon.

I play a complicated position in an intensely team-oriented game.

We have as much to gain this year as every team out there. We feel like a team that is 0-0 and we have our goals ahead of us just like everybody else.

Like I said, and I've said this, he's a tremendous coach (Weis). He's a great asset to this team from the time he was here and now he's a great asset to another place. We all miss him and at the same time we all realize we can't look back; we have to look forward with the guys we've got.

I think we've been probably disrespected more than any team in the league this year. I think we've been given up on by a lot of media people, a lot of fans, our own fans, other people around the league, and I think if there's one team that feels like they're disrespected it's us.

Playing this team as many times as we have in the last few years, ... we realize how physical they are, and they're fast and they're disciplined. They're very well coached. It is going to be quite a challenge.

We came into a tough environment against an excellent team and had a chance to win the game with three minutes left, ... I would take that any day of the week.

We really didn't want to go to that fifth set because we did that twice last year and lost them both. We played hard but a good team like that doesn't go down without a fight,

The strengths of the team have been different throughout the years. I do think we try to play a certain way of football. I think our philosophy is that we try to play smart and that we try to play tough and we try to play physical out there.

As a team you're always trying to improve and there's a different identity this year than there has been in the past. We have to find that identity and continue to improve on our weaknesses while maintaining our strengths.

How can you disrespect a team that's 12-4?

I can't do anything with what's happened in the past. I have to just go forward with the most awareness I can going forward and trying to be the best I can be for our team.

You have to believe in the process. You have to believe in the things that you are doing to help the team win. I think you have to take the good with the bad.

Why do I have three Super Bowl rings and still think there's something greater out there for me? I mean, maybe a lot of people would say, 'Hey man, this is what is.' I reached my goal, my dream, my life. I think, 'God, it's got to be more than this.' I mean this isn't, this can't be what it's all cracked up to be ... I love playing football and I love being quarterback for this team. But at the same time, I think there are a lot of other parts about me that I'm trying to find.

Is it going to make me feel any better to make an extra million? That million might be more important to the team.

It's an incredible play, and not only that, that's the type of plays Malcolm makes for our team.
