I think rightly or wrongly from my standpoint, you like to see someone who has been through it. When you get through the postseason, it's a different world. If you've never been there, it's a learning curve. You have to learn and understand it. If someone has been through it on several occasions or just once, they step in with some advantage.
More Quotes from Floyd Reese:
I don't know if all the talk the past two years has gotten into his head, ... But I think he's been probably stronger than a lot of us, a lot of his backers. A lot of people that he maybe expected to hold the line with him maybe caved in a little bit. If everybody was as strong about the commitment as Eddie is, then none of these questions would have ever popped up.Floyd Reese
The old contracts we would do with somebody along these lines. You would say, 'OK, I'll give you a 10 million signing bonus, and then the minimum salary the first year and maybe the second year, and then later on in the contract really jack the salaries up.' Now, because of the 30 percent rule, you really can't do that.

But you know what The system that was put in place years ago works. And it works better than it ever has. There is parity, and this system keeps everybody in it. It's still a bit early this season, but there are two or three teams that look really strong and two or three that are really struggling. Everybody else is in the middle. Last year at this time, we were 2-4 and people were burying us. But we ended up in the AFC title game. Now we're 4-2 and we're scared.

It doesn't mean that we hit on 100 percent, that doesn't mean that every guy that enters the locker room is an angel. But that doesn't cause you to waver from the fact that you still deem it important, and you still look for it and you fight to get it.

He threw the ball well. I think you saw a variety of things. He threw the ball on the run and under a little bit less than ideal conditions. He came today and performed, and I can't imagine too many quarterbacks performing better than he did today.
