You never really know about a quarterback until he plays in a real game.

Do you know what my favorite part of the game is? The opportunity to play.

Our quarterback is going to be Alex Smith.

I think you can be the greatest orator of all time, the greatest motivator of all times, but if those players know that you don't care about them, and you don't try to understand them, then they're never going to hear what you have to say.

All I know is, I was trying to win the football game. And the bottom line is, you have to do what you think is right. You have to go with your gut. And if you don't do that, then I think you regret a lot of things later on.

The No. 1 thing is you want to be able to win the game, and we're going to do whatever we have to do to win the game.
