Here’s some of what Brett Ratliff had to say to the media about the Jets’ quarterback situation today, courtesy of the New York Jets: On if he pays attention to the Jay Cutler rumors…

I try not to pay attention to that. It’s not going to do any good to focus on what the rumors are or what is said outside. You focus on yourself and how you can get better.

On if last year has prepared him for this situation…

I had a great time last year learning from a great quarterback in Chad (Pennington) and I had an opportunity to learn from Brett (Favre). I had a great time with that and I can always take and learn from them and add it to my game. Whatever happens I’ll continue to learn and continue to better myself.

On the team supporting him and Kellen Clemens…

I appreciate that. I appreciate their confidence in us. Kellen and I work really hard to be better and that is what I am doing right now. I am trying to gain trust with the guys. I am trying to do that anyway I can. I am going to work my butt off no matter what. I am always trying to work hard, get better and improve my crafts.
