anybody billboard bit came college dealt last level players pressure pro scrutiny seen year
I dealt with some pressure last year with that whole billboard down in New York, ... I know it's a little bit different from the college level to the pro level, but I don't think many college players have seen the kind of scrutiny that came with that billboard. I know how I can perform. I put more pressure on myself than anybody else does.

Nobody played well. The problem when you're playing quarterback ... even if things go wrong around you, you're the last line of defense, and my mistakes compounded what was already happening yesterday. It was just an all-around bad day for everybody.

Everybody on this team should be playing for pride. Everybody on this team should be playing because they're professionals. If you can't get up for that and need the motivation to be the spoiler, so be it.
mad pocket saw stuff
It was just a miscommunication on our part. What I saw in the pocket was different than what he saw down the field, and that stuff happens. ... I was never mad at him, and he was never mad at me.

It was a fluke deal. It was fixed. No sense in looking over your shoulder. Nothing but broken bones over there.

I'm not going to stop throwing it. You can't ever lose confidence in the guys in your huddle.
