‘"If you look back at Rex’s history, he was right on the verge of taking a step in every year he played before he was injured," he said. "In 2004 he led us to a big win against Green Bay, was going up and down the field against Minnesota and went down with (a season-ending knee injury). We had high hopes last year; he looked great in preseason and went down. But he came back later on, and we got a taste of what Rex could do then. And this year he’s been there the entire time and we’re seeing the type of football player he can be. He’s a great leader; he has the physical tools that quarterbacks need to possess. It should be a lot of fun to watch him grow."’
