He doesn't need to be Joe Montana right now. He has time to develop into that. As long as we play well around him, I think he'll continue to develop and be the great quarterback we expect him to be. |
He doesn't want to carry the ball, ... He got knocked out last week and came up after the game and said: 'That's why I never want to carry the ball. I'm too slow and I can't get out of the way.' |
