When you say was it you being silly or letting yourself go, or is it you being intense? I would say it was me being me. I would say that me being me is probably yes to all of that. So having fun, playing with passion, it matters to me, competitive.
At the quarterback position I would say mental is just as important as physical. Then there's that emotional component too.
I want to win football games first and foremost. But I also want to be enlightened and educated on issues and just keep an open mind, keep a listening ear.
I constantly want to be learning, growing and better understanding things. And see where that takes us.
Sometimes you want to ease into the situation and maybe sit in the back row for a while and allow time to get adjusted and then speak up.
If you could, say, draw it up, I'd be a Redskin the rest of my career.
When you look at the best of the best, those quarterbacks played with one team. And if you point at a couple guys who didn't, who changed teams, it really was against their will.
I think if Joe Montana or Peyton Manning had their way, they would've stayed where they had won Super Bowls and played so well. They wouldn't have had to leave.
And I have to be willing to be patient to allow God's plan to unfold and not go ahead and try to make my own circumstances happen for me. So, I've learned that He can be trusted for every need and desire but at the same time that may require patience on my end.
Guys can see through fake! They can tell someone who's just trying to check the box! So, I've got to be Kirk Cousins and believe that'll be good enough!
Well fatherhood has been a joy, it's been a challenge and it certainly takes a lot of energy! You know, when I leave you start a whole new chapter of work when you come home and it really gives me a picture of what my Heavenly Father is like, looking at me.
When you make bad decisions bad things happen. And it was so simple. You know, the decisions you make are going to become the life that you live!
It comes down to your decision-making and obviously you can get better and better as a decision-maker as you play, and get reps and go through experiences and learn but football's the same as life, you got to be a great decision maker to have success.
I'm pretty much a .500 quarterback in my career so far and I don't think that's where you want to be, and that's not why you are brought in or people or excited about you.
If I have my best year yet in 2018 but we're 8-8, I didn't go to the next level. That's the reality of it.
I'll put it this way: I couldn't just go out the practice without looking at the playbook, without looking at notes. I wouldn't be able to do much.
My job was to play football the last 16 games and do my part, and then in the offseason, really, it's just sit back and let the team or other teams let you know that they want you.
If you're not plugged into something like Athletes in Action or Campus Crusade, it's difficult to keep your eyes focused on Jesus Christ because the world is telling you differently, and your sin-nature is telling you differently.
Discipleship, following Jesus Christ is the toughest thing that you're going do in your whole life. You're not going to find anything tougher.
I've been taught that human nature is such that the place of privilege most often and most naturally leads to a sense of entitlement. The notion that I deserve to be treated as special because I'm privileged. The truth is, privilege should never lead to entitlement.
