It wasn't until I stopped worrying about my own validation and finally refocused my energy on things I could actually change that I finally grew as a person and as a professional.
- Opportunity
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Utah will always be special to me. They were the school that gave me an opportunity, and I grew so much as a person and player there.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As flashy as draft picks are, the reality of them helping out in Year One anyway is not necessarily the case. That's not the reality.
- Great
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think that's the great thing about the NFL. You're out there, and there are very few perennials. It's a battle every single year. You can go first to worst, worst to first.
- Matter
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Winning is all that does matter.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
This is the honest truth: I could absolutely care less on yards per game. I think that's a totally overblown stat.
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, it's about winning games. I'm trying to score more points than the other team. I don't really care how we do it.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't really care how many yards I throw for; as long as we score more points than the guys we're playing.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To continue to fight, not get frustrated, to stay together and find a way - I think that's important. I think good teams do that.
- Get
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's football. Guys get hurt all the time.
- Down
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
It's fun to come in when it's first down. It's not fun to come back in when it's third-and-long.
- Media
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There are a lot of peripheral things that you have to deal with in this league, and I dealt with a lot of them when I came in. It's everything from being on your own to facing the media.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you don't go out there and play winning football, they're going to try and find somebody who can.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I carried around a lot of weight and anxiety - expectations of being a top draft pick and fulfilling those. It was really burdensome and not fun. Stressful. I had to go through some things before I finally turned that around and got back to playing for the right reasons.
- Problem
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think you have to enjoy the wins. If you're not enjoying the process, there's a problem. You're not doing it for all the right reasons.
- Calm
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a quarterback, I always feel like it's my job to be that steady, calm presence in there.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Game day can be emotional, and there are a lot of ups and downs throughout a game, but as a quarterback, you have to be able to see the bigger picture, steady that ship, get all the guys focused in on the task at hand, and keep the thing moving.
- Next
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a quarterback, especially when I come off to the sideline, I am trying to get things corrected, trying to get things figured out and move on to the next series.
- Corrected
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a quarterback, when you do have a three-and-out or things do not go right, you are the first one to know. You know more than anyone out there what went wrong and what needs to be corrected and don't necessarily always need to hear it when you come off to the sideline.
- Feet
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Quarterback play starts with your eyes and feet. Those have to be in the right place and have to be on time.
- Game
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You're frustrated when things aren't going right. When you're out there, you have your piece of it, your view. It isn't until usually the next day when you're watching the film that you get to put all the pieces together: 'Oh, this is what happened on that play'; 'This is why I did that.' You don't totally know that game day.
- Over
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Instincts and fundamentals take over sometimes.
- Look

- Nov 07, 2020
When the guys are playing well around you, you look good.
- Own

- Nov 07, 2020
No quarterback goes out there and plays well on his own.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
More often than not as a quarterback, your performance is a reflection of the guys around you. I've been fortunate to be around some pretty good guys.
- Go

- Nov 07, 2020
If you're going somewhere, you want to go somewhere where you have a chance to have success.
- Get
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's a special time, to get drafted.
- Lost
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
To a lot of people, I might just be the guy who went No. 1 in the draft. Or the guy who lost his job to Colin Kaepernick. Or the guy who helped turn a 2-14 Chiefs team into a back-to-back division champ... but then couldn't put them over the top.
- High
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is a strike zone in the pocket that's very clear. Can't hit QBs low, can't hit them high.
- Feel
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't know if there were many pros for me playing early. I feel like I dug myself a pretty deep hole that rookie year.
- Nov 07, 2020
Certainly, there were tough times, but no, you can't go back and change it. So, why dwell on it?
- Getting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Most of the time, you're just trying to be the point guard out there based on the play call and the defense that you're getting; that really dictates where the football goes.
- Good
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When I watch good friends play, it's almost worse when you're watching, because you have zero impact: you have zero hand in what's going on. When I'm playing, you don't have that because I'm involved in it. I have some kind of say in what's going on.
- Fans
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
That's what you want; that's what you want to play for: fans that are in it and want it as bad as you do.
- Fan
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I definitely grew up a Chargers' fan.
- Fun
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I used to make fun when I got into the league, and I couldn't believe these old guys that didn't know artists on the radio, like in the weight room.
- Better
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can always get better throwing the football.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
As a QB, it's a team game, and you're all out there in it.
- Losing
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Losing is not fun.
- Play
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Obviously, flagrant things have to be called. There are rules. You have got to play to the rules, no question.
- How
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I've seen a rebuild, and I've seen how quickly things can turn around when guys buy in.
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes when you've only got a few snaps, guys try to do too much and try to make too much happen.
- Got
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Once you pull the trigger, you've got to throw balls aggressively and with conviction.
- Going
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The longer you play, there's always going to be naysayers.
- People
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You're never going to make everybody happy; there are always going to be people that, yeah, aren't with you. That's the nature of sports.
- Nov 07, 2020
I know guys respect work ethic, and they respect the guys that are invested and committed.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was on some bad teams, and I played bad as a young player, certainly, at times. And that all mounts. Yeah, that all mounts. The perception. Everything that goes into that. And so, yeah, I think to kind of get over the hump of that, to change perception, it can be difficult. It's a tall task. And it takes a long time.
- Enjoy
