[He wants to be a starter in the NFL.] It's tough to look to the future, ... but I feel I have the talent to be a good starting quarterback in this league. Physically, I can make all throws I need to make, it's just a matter of doing it when the time presents itself. |
A lot of good quarterbacks in this league have taken different routes to be a starter in the NFL, ... It's not always a straight line. |
All you can ask is to have the ball in your hands with a chance to win the game. I did, we did -- I just didn't get it done. |
At least I didn't blow my shoulder out. |
Being a leader and a competitor is what made me successful in college. I know that doesn't get you any points in the NFL, but at the end of the day it's still about winning football games. |
Every time I can go out there and show those guys that I can function out there, it's going to breed confidence in them, and that's a big part of being a quarterback, ... They can't believe in you until you go do it. |
He had some great plays today. I don't think that it was anything we specifically tried to do, but it's just what the defense dictated a couple of times. |
I care a lot about this program and feel very fortunate to have been a part of it. It was a one-game playoff and we just threw everything out there. |
I could've given Justin a better throw. It all happened really fast . . . I could go through the should've, would've, could've, but I have to look at the tape. |
I definitely don't think anyone's expectations for me are going to be too high for me to do anything, ... I don't know. I don't really care if they think I'm great or awful, it doesn't make a difference. Either way I'm trying to get the ball down the field and beat them. |
I had a little bit of success, and success leads to confidence. We need that to carry over and get better. |
I had my helmet on. |
I should've known to throw it away. |
I'd have to watch the tape. |
I'm just going out to try and execute the plays that they call with knowing that I have an understanding of how to manage a football game and what I need to do to help the team win. I'm not trying to make it into rocket science. |
