“You have to earn your stripes here. So far, I've got half a stripe.”
Tim Campbell
“He's just earned his stripes. It's been a natural maturation process. I came here five years ago and he had just taken over the job, and like any other young starting quarterback, he took his lumps. He had his ups and downs, but he always handled it extremely well and with class. You could see how much of a competitor he was.”
Bobby Engram
“I think this year that I proved that I worked hard for four years to earn my stripes, and hopefully there will be other organizations around the league that will see it that way. I love to teach. I love to teach.”
Mike Tice
“I really didn't see it as overshadowing me, ... He's been in the league so long. He's earned his stripes. I was a young cat coming up, doing the things I had to do to earn my stripes. I made my plays. As the years moved on, I earned my stripes. The fans knew who I was when I stepped on the field. When you play next to Ray, you have to do a lot of things to get noticed.”
Edgerton Hartwell
“It's a league where you've got to earn your stripes. And the emphasis is on earn , believe me.”
Matt Hasselbeck
“It is really the arc in which he becomes Bond. He starts out just having earned his double-0 stripes and comes out at the end the Bond we know and love.”
Martin Campbell
“I've got spots; I've got stripes, too.”
