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.
either far high terry thrown wide
I should've thrown it high enough and far enough wide that either Terry was going to get it or no one was going to get it. I didn't put enough on it, and that was the game.
ball biggest bill brought edge focused life living negative throw
Bill said when he brought me in here: 'You've got to be smart. We're not going to throw the ball like a high-wire act, living life on the edge all the time,' ... The biggest thing I am going to be focused on is eliminating negative plays.
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.
chance picked throw
We thought we had a chance to throw it on them if we picked up the blitz.

I've got to throw that ball higher and out of bounds. It was just a major-league mistake on my part. I just didn't get it up high enough. It's unfortunate. I've got to make a better play.
feels high throwing throws weird wrong
A lot of throws I make to him feel weird to me. It feels like I'm throwing to the wrong place, but it's actually the right place for him because it's up high and he can snatch it.
ability accurately ahead anytime ball bills cap field goes hand kid picked picks prove somebody throw tip
Anytime somebody picks somebody else over you, it's motivating. The Bills went and picked this young kid to play ahead of me. I don't think it was the right decision. I still don't. I want to go out and prove I can still get it done. The ability to throw the ball effectively, accurately and all over the field is still there. When that goes away, I think you'll see me tip my cap and hand it off to somebody else.
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.
pocket staying team throwing
He's staying in the pocket and throwing the long pass, ... This a big-play team all of a sudden.
ball game good high point proven throw time walk
If I ever get to the point where I feel like I've proven everything I need to prove, then it's probably time to walk away. I think I still have a lot to offer. I think I can still play the game at a very high level, throw the ball accurately, be a good leader.

I've been very impressed with Marion. He went through setbacks both physically and kind of mentally and emotionally. All of the things that go on being a rookie, particularly being a rookie playing for Bill. It's not an easy task.
