That's the job of a quarterback, to go out there and be confident with the communication of the play, in the huddle and with my play.Collection: Communication
The passing game is timing and trust, expecting those guys to be in the right spot at the right time.Collection: Trust
Whenever we have penalties and take a 10-yard penalty down the red zone, it gets tough.
The competitive spirit never dies.
You just have to be smart and know where you're at within the game and find the right time to be aggressive and take a shot. If it's not the right time, then move on to the next down.
I have to take care of the football, that's what it comes down to is really - just eliminating the turnovers.
Whatever it takes to win, that's what we're going to do.
I'm not a guy who really gets caught up in outside noise or opinions, or anything like that.
I love being on the field.
I love playing on Sundays.
Nobody likes to sit on the bench.
Everything is different when you're not in the starting position.
Whether football or board games, I love to win.
My wife gives me a hard time, whether it's playing games with people we don't know too well and I'm intense. I could probably turn off a few people to probably being around me because of that.
Honestly, all I care about is winning.
Getting to the playoffs and going to a Super Bowl is the goal.
I can say you do get some things out of losing a game.
I have to make sure that we're in the right plays and I can get the ball out quickly and get into our playmakers' hands.
You always get better as the season goes on, as far as conditioning and the flow of the season.
I think I have all of the things you look for in a QB. The drive, the leadership, the intangibles, as well as what you look for in a QB.
I'm confident in myself as a player.
I don't listen to the critics.
I try to get better each and every day, learn from my mistakes, make good decisions, and put the ball in the right location.
There are definitely plays that I wish that I could have back.
There are always things that I am looking to improve upon, but I think I am learning from every rep and filing those reps away.
I do what I love and have people around me that I care about.
I have a ton of confidence in myself. You have to, to play this position.
I believe in myself a whole lot.
I have a lot of competitive juices, and I want to go out and compete on the football field every day.
A quarterback should be leaders of the team.
I want to try to get guys going, and get guys playing together and make everyone around me better.
The more confidence you get as far as games under your belt, time spent with the guys, time in an offense, dealing with all the bull crap that you deal with in this profession. At some point you're kind of like, 'Screw it. I'm going to be me and do everything I can to win and if they don't like it, then oh well.
You don't want to be an iron fist all the time; at least I don't. I like to pick my spots and have a reason for everything that I do.
I want to make it tough on the organization to not play me.
I think I have a lot of learning to do, but that's what the game is for.
Teams that can run the football, stop the run and take care of the football will win in the playoffs.
I don't want to be making tackles.
It's about how you handle yourself, how you take care of your business, how you present yourself in front of the team, how you hold other people accountable. And ultimately, performing.
Every guy is a little different, how you talk to him, how you handle him and hold him accountable, every guy is a little different.
It's always a dream to sign a big contract, but the main dream is winning a championship and holding that trophy up with your teammates.
The ultimate factor in judging quarterbacks is winning games.
Christ is the anchor of my life.
It's about consistency.
You face distractions, you face adversity in life and you have to be able to handle it, you have to be able to fight through it and become a better man and become a better player because of it.
Your personal time with God is huge, your quiet time, your study, prayer, but being around other Christian followers... and the church just feeds you. You come away feeling rejuvenated, you get a great message.
I'm definitely rooting for the Heat.
Everyone has a bad day now and then.
I've just tried to do everything I can personally to be the best quarterback I can be, whether it's doing extra work for my rehab, extra work in the film room, on the board, extra work out on the field with my drops and footwork.
I want to finish my career as a Dolphin and win a championship here. That's what they brought me here for and that's what I came to do.
We desire to win, doing the little things right.
