Kolb is undoubtedly a talented young quarterback who has the natural ability to be a reliable guy in the NFL. His early success in a backup role with the Philadelphia Eagles ultimately pushed him into a starting situation before he was truly ready. Kolb

Much of Bush’s value will be tied to where he plays next year. There is a good chance that the Raiders will place the franchise tag on Bush. But regardless of whether he stays with the Raiders or takes his talents elsewhere, Bush will see the field with
Michael Brockers is an elite defensive tackle coming out of LSU as a redshirt sophomore. Brockers is a massive tackle, standing at 6'6" and weighing 306 pounds, and will be valuable in both the running and passing game. He is one of the faster defensive
The Arizona Cardinals are certainly hot on the trail of Peyton Manning should he be cut loose by the Colts, but that seems like a long shot considering the 49ers seem to have a strong hold on this division, and it doesn't offer Manning the playoff potent

I find it so intriguing ... I haven’t really respected his quarterback play for the longest time just because I like typical drop-back quarterbacks, that’s just who I am. I mean, I loved Matt Ryan when he was in college. But I love Tim for who he is and for how he’s a gamer. He wins games. No matter how...

I think there are things I can certainly do better, that's for sure ... I think we've turned the football over a little too much. That's an area we'd like to clean that up. There have been some things we've done well, too. My goal is always to get better week to week, year to year and I think I've conti...
It was a good win for our team ... We’ve got a tough opponent coming up in Houston, so we’ve got to get back to work and get ready for the Texans.
I don't put a whole lot of stock in the rating, but I thought we played efficiently today offensively
I don’t put a whole lot of stock in the rating, but I thought we played efficiently ... We kind of took what they gave us. That’s a good defense. Their front seven is as good as any in the NFL at stopping the run and getting after the pass. I thought our offensive line did a great job.
We did a great job of getting those points when we needed them
We used our short passing game today effectively, to kind of move the chains ... Then we took some shots. I thought it was a good game plan.

We knew, offensively, it was important for us to execute well on that drive and I thought we converted on some third downs, which was huge ... We were effective thrown the football and we responded the way we needed to in order to win the football game.
The tour gives people a sense of what we all have done to recognize the season through various years
It's kind of the nature of NFL. Teams execute at a high level and things are going exactly as planned. Then there are times where you don't execute as well as you would like ... The most important thing is how we responded to that and played in the fourth quarter. We did a great job when we needed to sc...
For me personally, Bill taught me so much about protections ... He taught me so much about understanding the passing game, understanding the running game, understanding how to play the position. He taught me about managing games, being smart and making good decisions.
I think, as a rookie, you’re so wrapped up in just trying to get prepared and trying to learn the offense ... I’m sure he’s probably just wrapped up in the game plan week-to-week and trying to make sure he’s as well prepared as he can be.
Really, even more so off the field, too, having played quarterback in the league and played with some really good guys, setting up my week, understanding when to push, when to work, when to get some rest so that you’re mentally fresh ... Those things were invaluable. I’m really glad to have had Bill for...
He taught me a ton about preparing, taught me a ton about offensive football, playing the quarterback position, understanding, making good decisions, when to take chances, when not to take chances ... Those kinds of things. Really, even more so off the field too, having played quarterback in the League ...
We would have liked to have been successful on that fourth down ... But we have a mature locker room. We have guys who understand there are going to be weeks like that in the NFL, and you have to put it behind you. When you have guys like that in the locker room, that feeds down, and guys get energized ...

When you have guys like that in the locker room, that feeds down, and guys get energized ...
We did a great job ... I think what often goes unnoticed in those situations is how much communication there is and how good of a job all 11 guys on the offense did, and really more than that when guys come in as substitutes.
We had a number of chances down there [Sunday] in the red zone and when you get the ball in that place, you need to score a touchdown
Roddy had an unbelievable game ... He made some really good plays for us.
Absolutely. It fires me up ... It's fun to hand it off and then turn around and watch and he's running guys over.
When we get the ball in there close, we’ve got to score touchdowns ... That’s something we’ll work on and try to get better at this week.
It fires me up ... It’s fun to hand it off and turn and run when he’s running guys over. Mike did a great job. Our offensive line played really well today.
It starts at the top ... In this league, you're going to have some tough losses. You need to move on from that.
