Like I told him, I would've made the same pick. You don't pass up a guy that could possibly be a great football player, especially at the quarterback position. We shouldn't be drafting that high for years to come. |
Mike looked awesome. That's a guy who's hungry to get out there and play. |
My mobility makes me one of those people that likes to get out of the pocket. If they bring some blitzes, then hopefully I can make a guy miss and get out of there. Every quarterback they have played, especially during [their six-game winning] streak, they have been able to put a lot of pressure on. They have forced them to make a lot of quick decisions. |
Obviously we had a good season, everybody knows that. But in the end only one team's happy. We're not that team. |
One of our goals was to win the division. We won the division. We wanted to get a playoff game at home. We got a playoff game at home. Those are all steps toward our ultimate goal, to win it all. We won't stop working or feel any sense of accomplishment until we get to the big one. |
Passes that I threw in college up the middle of the field that were complete were now intercepted and coming right back at you. It's the quality of players. They don't let you make many mistakes. |
Personally, I don't think they'll stray too far from that. But if they do, we're going to be prepared, obviously, by what we see in the preseason. It's all we can go on. |
Regardless of what I've done in the past, this is a big game, carrying a lot of pressure. We all know what's at stake here. |
Regardless of what I've done so far, this is a big game and there will be pressure. I just look at what's in front of me. It's a great opportunity. At this point, I'm not looking back at the past too much. |
Someone has to account for him because he can cause you trouble. |
Sometimes the balls were good and sometimes they came out dirty and wet. No excuses. They had the same balls we did. We didn't dominate the game, we didn't outplay them by much, but we came out with a win. . . . It's something you've got to deal with. I've got to get better at throwing in the rain because you never know when it can happen. |
That was huge. Our defense has been doing that all year. Our defense definitely stepped up. |
That's the big question that people are trying to figure out. I am, too. I'm just playing football. Five years ago, I prepared the same way. |
That's the big question this year – people trying to figure it out. I am too. I'm just playing football. I'm approaching it the same way I always have. If there was something I was doing differently, I can remember five years ago, I used to prepare the same way back in Arizona. |
The (two) interceptions were bad and I haven't really fumbled the ball much all year. |
