career field games guy numbers played team thrown win yards
I've thrown for a lot of yards and a lot of numbers and played a lot of games and been on some very competitive teams. But I think for my career to feel complete, I need to be the guy on the field quarterbacking the team when we win a championship. That's why I'm here.
best bunch deal decided eagles everybody far great guys hearing mobile pocket running seems silly sitting steve success super throwing until wants wins
You keep hearing everybody wants a more mobile quarterback, ... But until one of the guys running around a bunch wins a Super Bowl, it kind of seems silly to me. Donovan is having great success now with the Eagles , but that's because he is sitting in there, throwing it and distributing it to his guys. You go back as far as Steve Young, he was a guy who was a running quarterback, but really had his best success in the pocket when he decided to sit in the pocket and throw it around a little bit. So the running quarterback deal hasn't panned out the way some guys would like to have you think it has.
amount bad best bit compliment great guy leader learn pay remained respect south start strong team tremendous turn until
I have a tremendous amount of respect for Greg g. I think you learn a lot more about a guy when things start going bad than you do when things are going good. The best compliment I can pay Gregg is that when things started to turn south a little bit for us in Buffalo, he was steadfast and strong and remained a great leader for that team right up until they let him go.
anybody envision expected finally gone guy hard saw stepped year
Finally you saw the guy that I expected him to be all the time. He battled through this injury, and it's been hard on him. I know that this year hasn't gone the way that he wanted anybody to envision for him. But when everything was on the line, he stepped up.
cool guy
That's pretty cool. He's the guy that I really admired. That's something I can tell my grandchildren about some day. It's cool to be able to do it here on his field.
becomes guys job open
I've got guys that are getting open for me and making plays. When that happens, my job becomes pretty easy.
approach bowl caliber change forget guy handle left playing rely rushing whoever
It's going to change things, scheme-wise and in my approach to the game, ... Obviously, when you (have) a Pro Bowl left tackle, when you have a guy of that caliber playing on your left side, you just kind of put him over there and forget about it. You just rely on him to handle whoever is rushing on him.
call guy plays
They call the plays and I try to just find the guy who's open,
views race guy
I'm not fast. But there are a lot of guys that are a hell of a lot slower than I am. Somebody wants to do a pay-per-view race between me and [Tom] Brady, sign me up.
earlier finished game good guys happened liked mentally note offense reason situations
I play this game to compete, and if our offense wasn't mentally in the game just because of what happened earlier in the day, then it's unacceptable. Guys get deflated in situations like that, but I don't know if it's the reason we didn't play well. We would have liked to have finished on a good note but didn't do it.
changed giving guys throw time
I haven't changed one bit, ... What I've got is ... guys that are giving me time to throw the ball.
ball couple effort guys jason stop three tried
They made an effort to stop Jason today. We tried a couple of times to get him the ball and they had two and three guys on him. But we had to get some other guys involved.
beginning guy saw starting
He's starting to look like the guy we saw at the beginning of the season. I think he's getting back in the mix. As we go forward, you'll see him more involved.
experience far guy larry played playing strongest unique
I'm disappointed to see Larry go. Playing with Larry was a unique experience because he was by far the strongest guy I ever played with.
