• “It’s kind of like that old faithful car. You fix the AC, now the carburetor’s out. Then you fix the carburetor, you’ve got a flat tire. You fix the tire, now your windshield wiper doesn’t work. It’s frustrating because you know it’s a good car. This car has gotten you to this point, and now it’s like every single thing is happening. And the thing is, you keep messing the car up not even driving it. That’s the most frustrating part. I didn’t have no injuries when it came to the actual season.”
• “One thing I will do is I’ll be truthful to myself and be truthful to Coach Rivera. If it comes in my mind and say, you know what, this is how I feel, then I have to stick with it and I’ll stick with it wholeheartedly. Now if I go to coach and say, ‘Coach, let me go,’ I’m pretty sure he’ll trust and believe I’m not fibbing to him or give him any doubt that I’m telling the truth.”
• “There’s no doubt in my mind that we have what it takes to be a great team. So I can’t have this selfish approach that it’s all about me, because either way, the Carolina Panthers, we’re going to be good.”

• “He gets treatment first thing in the morning, gets treatment after the morning meetings, gets treatment after the walkthrough, gets treatment after practice, he’ll get treatment after we leave tonight, and he’ll treat himself later on tonight.”
• “This is not just about Game 1 also. Let’s be realistic. This is not a sprint, this is a marathon. You may not start as fast as you want, but at the same time you want to start smart.”

• “It’s plenty hot, it’s plenty humid out here that I think when we get down there we’ll be used to it.”

• When asked about the Panthers 10-yard rushing performance down at Tampa Bay in the 2012 opener: “You just said two years ago. We’re living in the moment, man. So we’re practicing what we know about them now. They’ve got a new coaching staff. So I expect them to be an NFL team. They’re all good.”
