The last two years, sometimes it's been a little difficult, ... Last year I started out in a new offense, so I kind of expected things not to go as well, but this year I was expecting a lot on myself, and it looks like I'm not on pace to do what I set my goals at. We've got nine games left, and there's still room for improvement. |
The passing game will be totally different, ... We have guys that can make some plays. We have guys that can run now. I think we're more intact with what we are doing as an offense and as a whole. The communication and camaraderie is there. We are ready. |
The way I feel and from what the doctors tell me, I don't feel like it's serious. We just took the precaution to come out. |
The worst thing you can do is catch a team coming off a bad performance, ... Those are the teams that are the most dangerous. They will blow you out. You have to look at it like this: They are the defending world champions. |
There hasn't been a game this year where we came out and everything we watched on film, the team came out and played what they showed, ... We always get the different looks. I don't even know why we watch film anymore. I mean for real, man. |
There's a lot of pressure, especially being a first-round pick. Fans want action, and they want victories, and they want to see the team be successful. When you come in and you're the first-round pick, they expect big things out of you. |
They place burdens and expectations on me, ... What people don't understand is that it takes time in this game. They expect me to win a Super Bowl. They expect me to go out and throw for 4,000 yards and rush for 1,000 yards every season. But it doesn't work like that. |
They played a great defensive scheme, ... They did some things that threw us off-balance. |
They played a great defensive scheme. They did some things that threw us off balance. |
They played a great game, but in the end we had to step up or fight it out in overtime. We wanted to stay away from overtime and win in good fashion. |
They saw me grabbing my hamstring and pulled me out, ... I wasn't upset about it. Jim [Mora] said he didn't want it to get any worse than what it was. We were already in a good position to score. Maybe that was selfish going back in there. I don't know. |

They say I can't throw the ball from the pocket and my passing efficiency isn't that good, so I had to show everybody. It's not trying to prove to the world, because I know what I can do and the Falcons know what I can do. From here on out, I don't want to hear that question again. |
They try to keep me in the pocket, try to make me throw the ball, ... So what do we do? We gash them in the run game. We've got a counter for everything teams try and do. |
They used to call me 'Lil' Quick,' ... I went to a couple of football camps when I was a kid, but nothing like this. The good part of dealing with kids is that I was their age once, and I remember what I would have thought if I was attending a camp with a high-profile player, how I'd have wanted him to treat me. So that's how I try to be. |
