My approach never changes from start to start.
I don't think in the past. I don't think in the future. You grasp the moment.
Opportunities are running out, and this is the do-or-die situation when the ball is in your hands, and you can either help your team to victory or not. And so I want to be in those situations. I think about them, and almost look forward to them.
I've been a leader practically my whole life. I don't know what it is to follow.
You can't join a team and give up on it because you lose a few games or things aren't going well.
The pitch count situatio-it doesn't matter if you throw 120 or 80, whatever. It's the quality of pitches that you throw.
No, we believed in ourselves all year. That's the position you want to be in.
I'm no Bob Gibson. I can tell you that.
I'm going to go out and be the best quarterback I can be and get the most out of my potential.
As a quarterback, you try to manage the game. It's not just throwing the ball. You have to manage the running game and getting out of bad situations and there are a lot of things to it. That's what I'm trying to do.
I'm just trying to take what the defense gives me.
You know your goals and what you need to do to get better-just eliminate the bad plays.
I've always tried to be the person who says things no one else wants to say. I've always kept it in house, as opposed to going to the papers.
If you think individual, that's how you're going to come off. I've always given 'team' a chance.
