I think you gain something with your teammates when you do, when they see you battling through stuff. I don't know if they look down on you when you don't, but I know there's an increased respect when you do.
I was looking for someone that was willing to give me a chance to play the game the way I played again. He definitely allowed me to do that. ... It wasn't necessarily what he had done with quarterbacks in the past, although it never hurts to be a part of a team or with a coach that has had great offensive success and great success with quarterbacks.
It wasn't that strange at all. This is my team now.
Obviously it's very disappointing with high expectations. I guess the good thing is there are not that many teams that are 2-0, and we still have a lot of time to recover and get back on track.
I love playing here, ... I played in a dome in college. I played inside in Arena Football. I've played in the dome here. I just love playing inside. It's my element. It's what I'm comfortable with. ... It was great to get back in here. If we play this way at home, we're going to be a very, very tough team to beat.
I want to win some Super Bowls, and so that's really my focus, to do whatever I have to do to lead this team to a championship,
Being 0-3 is a tough place to be. We keep doing a lot of good things and get close to the end zone, but we don't do enough good things once we get down there. I guess the beauty of it is there's not a whole bunch of teams out there that have set themselves apart, and as fast as it goes one way, you can get it going the other way.
I expect huge things from this football team. I expect big things from this offence with the playmakers that we have now. I think it matches up very well with teams that I have been on in the past.
It's going (to depend) on his confidence to get up, snap and put it in the right spot time and time again, ... But it's more the confidence and the quickness to learning with your off hand. Try and brush your teeth with your left hand. It's not as easy as it sounds.
Hopefully, they still like me a little bit, ... And maybe they'll cheer for us a little, too.
Hopefully, we can make some moves and get some guys in who can really help us. He (James) would be huge for what we're trying to accomplish.
I don't know if he can read anything. The first receiver better be open, but he can fling it.
I'm sure he feels so much better and so much more confident this year than last, ... I just look forward to catching up with him.
In New York, it was really a chance to showcase what I could do and try to present myself with an opportunity like here in Arizona where I could play the game the way I wanted to and hopefully write my own story,
