It's hard not to follow other careers of NFL quarterbacks in the 24/7 news-at-your-fingertips society we live in.
The Nike Fuel Band is interesting - it measures your movements and how far you've walked and how hard you've worked that day. I prefer using when I travel. It's a fun way to see how far I've walked - how many steps I've taken when I'm walking around different cities.
When I grew up, my father taught us the value of hard work. He wanted us to enjoy ourselves, but he also wanted to know what it took to be successful. He coached a lot of our sports teams growing up. We weren't very good, but we learned about hard work and enjoying life and your teammates.
Biggest lesson I learned my first year in the NFL is no one gives a crap about what you did last week. This league is about what have you done for me now. That's the NFL. It's also our culture. So you keep working hard because that's the biggest truth about football.
It's fun to learn a new playbook.
Peyton was the best, my favorite quarterback growing up.
Hopefully one day I can be up there with Peyton in terms of history.
The victories are what I judge things on.
I like to play football, read some books, study.
My dad hasn't said much about his college days. Oh, a few times, he might start telling stories. And I've seen some highlight film of him from college. I remember thinking he looked really small. Which is funny, because growing up, I thought he was a pretty big guy.
I've been lucky enough to be around some great coaches, all the way from Pop Warner to now.
I think the preseason helps a lot, just to feel a little bit about the speed of the game.
I think leadership is most effective when it's your own personality. But I feel like it's a natural progression as a quarterback, as well.
No one prepares to lose ... we prepare to win.
