“They had a good game plan and they came out fast. We started slow, but we picked it up. You just have got to trust in the process and not try to do too much and things will start happening and having success your way.”

I think, as quarterback and as a football player, you always want to get better.

No one really sees pro athletes behind the scenes. They don’t know how hard they work. They don’t see how you work on the basics. They couldn’t possibly know. You wouldn’t think that someone who hits like Alex Rodriguez needs to use a tee every day. But that’s how he stayed on top of it.

Not a lot of people see that when you’re growing up. You don’t get to see that people really have to work hard to become as good as they are.

When I scramble and do those things, I try to look downfield, look for the playmakers, put it in their hands, and let them make all the big plays happen.

You want to be in the first round. That’s the dream. That’s what you see on draft night.

I’m a little quick – I can run a little bit – but I know I can’t make a lot happen. So my thinking always was, ‘Why don’t you put it in the fast guys’ hands and let them make plays.

The furthest I have even thrown the ball was 85 yards. But I had a little wind at my back, so I don’t claim that one.

Confidence Tell Coaches The quarterbacks that win. Those are the quarterbacks that are talked about for being great.

Definitely, as a competitor, you want to get out there and play.

You can always regret just missing it, but as a football player, you have to move on to the next play.

Playing the scout-team quarterback in practice really helped develop my game.

The team aspect of football and just playing quarterback, having the ball in your hands, having to make the plays, that was definitely something I loved.

Every experience, good or bad, you have to learn from.

I want people to know that I’m going to leave every single thing on the field.

You can have the big arm, and that’s good, and it helps out in the games, but it doesn’t help you necessarily win games.

I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again.

I know that there’s a god because I was able to survive everything that I’ve been through – all of the tough times – and I’m still at the top of my game.

I’m not really into the political game as far as paying politicians and stuff like that, I’m not into that. You do your job, and I’ll do mine.

Over futile odds, and laughed at by the gods And now the final frame. Love is a losing game.

Congress is too old. They don’t have a stake in the game.

As I open my eyes and realizing I changed. Not the same deranged child stuck up in the game.

If you’re going to win games, you’re going to have to come up with the big hits. That’s the bottom line.

I go into every game thinking I’m going to be the hero. I have to, or I wouldn’t enjoy it.

Honestly, I’m on the road so much that I never really get a chance to go to baseball games.
