For the most part, from the player standpoint, the coaches do the coaching and you try to come in and execute the game plan or the scheme they put in front of you.
You learn, across the league, with very successful quarterbacks, nobody does it by themselves.
In the preseason, you usually only get a small window of opportunity, but when you get out there for four quarters and you're able to put it together, then you're able to go out there game after game and continue to get better, it was great, especially when I was able to prove a lot of my critics and naysayers wrong.
When I go home, I love to play the 'Tiger Woods' game with my brothers. It's always fun to sit there for a few hours and play.
You always have to be thinking about your opportunity. You always have to be ready.
There are guys throughout the NFL that get the chance one way or the other.
As a competitor, as a guy that wants to play, of course, it would be great to go out and play.
It's just part of the NFL. There's going to be moving parts constantly. There's going to be roster changes. There's going to be coaches going somewhere else.
I collected baseball and football cards. My most valuable was probably a Mark McGwire rookie card.
I never had a car in high school or college.
Everybody wishes they were better at golf.
I have a thing for brunettes.
I've been through a lot in my career. I've been through the ups, I've been through the downs. I've been through the highs and the lows.
I always want to be out there with my team. I always want to fight.
I hope to do the 'Letterman' show, 'Leno,' all that.
I think the toughest job in football is always to be the starter, because everybody looks to you for guidance.
If you don't take care of the ball in this league, I know it's tough to win.
One word in one system might mean something else. You have to get a feel for it and study hard and then also when you get into these game-plan weeks, just bear down on what we're doing on a week-to-week basis.
There are times when the criticism is something you deserve as a quarterback, and there are times when the people doing the criticizing don't know what they're talking about.
All you can ask for in this game is an opportunity.
