    I still believe in him, but I think there comes a point where a light has to click on. He's going to make mistakes. He's not going to make every read right. But at the same time, you have to be on point as far as getting your passes out to receivers and let us make plays.

    It's tough, but I understand that J.P. is young and he's going to have his bumps on the road,

    It's tough because it limits your abilities. But I have great memories. It was just frustrating playing with so many different quarterbacks. You just had to keep adjusting.

    I played with 10 different quarterbacks and so now that I know that David Carr is the guy, he and I and Andre can just get on the same page and just work. We look good on paper right now. Now it's up to us to go out there and get it done.

    It's very tough because anytime you've been in a place for 10 years, you get set in your ways. I have to learn a new city. I think being from the South makes it easier. I'm not going to be shocked by the weather, so it makes it an easy transition. It's still tough to leave Buffalo. I have a lot of fans there, but there comes a time when everyone has to move on.

    He keeps plays alive. When you run your routes now, you're not dead. At anytime, he can buy more time for you to get open, even when the play breaks downs.

    I've been around here 10 years, and I don't want to be one of those guys that all of a sudden just loses it. I'm at the point in my career where I want to win first. If we go to the Super Bowl and I have 15 catches, that's fine with me. But we're not doing that right now.

    I think competition is good. I had competition when I first came in. I wasn't given a starting job. I had to compete and beat out Quinn Early, a veteran player. So it pushes you to get better and get better fast.
