I hear my name mentioned with his and that just doesn't seem right.

I call it the bionic hand, ... I tell people I can zing it even better now. It feels great. I have no problems with it.

But I'd like to think I had a little to do with it, ... I'd say a good system makes a quarterback look good. But I hope that a good quarterback makes the system work even better. I think I'm coachable and the system has done nothing but help.

It makes it tougher playing at a Single-A or Double-A school because the perception coaches have of it, ... You have to keep your faith and know you can play at this level. From the experience I've had, coaches should look past that.

We're all the same, ... Carmen had a 72-yard touchdown in the Big 33 game. I'm not surprised by that. He's another guy a lot of teams didn't take a chance on. I'm excited for him. I know Joe will be fine at Pitt and my brother is coming up. We've got a pretty strong group.

When I went there it wasn't like I knew who came out of where, ... I wasn't into the draft stuff. I wasn't really paying attention to it. But now looking at it, it really is a league for quarterbacks. They keep coming out like Leftwich and Rotherlisberger and Frye. It's a QB league.

You can't shut yourself off from hearing it, ... I've heard everything from late first round to fifth or sixth. I really can't think about that now. All I can think about now is having a good year. This is my senior year. In my senior year of high school I had no offers. So it doesn't make a difference to me what anyone says about me now. I have to go out and play hard and prove myself once again.
