Me
|
Nov 07, 2020

Nov 07, 2020

I played 18 seasons. That's a lot. There is some that played more. Brett Favre I think played a couple more. There is a few. There is a few guys that played more, but not many.

Know

Most

Most young quarterbacks are on the field because their team stinks.

NFL
|
Nov 07, 2020

The truth is that in the NFL, the job is to deliver the ball from the pocket. That's the job.

Nov 07, 2020

If you're playing for 10 or 15 years, you can't every week run six option plays. It can be around. It can be a part of the game, but sooner or later you've got to deliver the ball from the pocket. That's the game. Now, if the game changes, and it's proven a championship can be won from the pistol spread, then I'm wrong.

Getting
|
Nov 07, 2020

Scrambling, when no one's around, getting down, getting out of bounds, taking a glancing blow, those are all fine. You can do that all day long.

You have to take certain truths. One truth is that to have championship success in the NFL you have to learn to deliver the ball from the pocket.

Know
|
Nov 07, 2020

So the truth is, if there's a lesson to be learned from mobile quarterbacks, it is deliver the ball from the pocket, which demands mastery of the data that is involved working in the pocket, which is, 'I know everything about everything.'

Find
|
Nov 07, 2020

If you exhaust every play out of the pocket, what happens is you find more opportunities.

Negative
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's a negative effect when you run around without exhausting everything that happens with the play call.

Dedicate
|
Nov 07, 2020

It's so exhausting in the pocket taking shots when you know I can go. I don't want to take that shot and maybe make a bigger play. To dedicate and discipline your mind that 'I have to find a way, that's the only way I can learn... ' That's the challenge.

Good
|
Nov 07, 2020

I can't imagine as a rookie actually playing good football. I went through it.

Game
|
Nov 07, 2020

There's some glory years, where if you play long enough and you've figured the game out, and physically you're still healthy enough, there are some years in there where you can really be productive. And those are fun years.

Football
|
Nov 07, 2020

I think Tom Coughlin is an amazing motivator. When you look at his personality, you say, 'Oh, I don't know about that.' But there's some ability he has to laser-focus a football team when it's most important. He seems to be a real valuable asset, kind of Knute Rocke almost.

Play

When you play quarterback in San Francisco, not much goes under the radar.

Great
|
Nov 07, 2020

While it's great for a quarterback to have athletic ability, his goal is to get the ball out of his hand, orchestrate the offense and not allow his ability to stand in the way of the offense running efficiently.

Nov 07, 2020

I'm willing to share my experiences with any young quarterback.

Balance
|
Nov 07, 2020

My biggest problem when I was younger was trying to balance my ability with what the team needed me to do to officially run the offense.

Important
|
Nov 07, 2020

Over time, I learned that how a quarterback moves the chains and leads his team to touchdowns is about as important as whether he actually does it or not.

Get
|
Nov 07, 2020

When I played for the 49ers, we loved to see man-to-man defense. I could get the ball quickly to the receivers.

Head
|
Nov 07, 2020

The best West Coast coaching job I've seen was when Mike Shanahan left the 49ers, became the head coach in Denver and made it available to John Elway.

Feet
|
Nov 07, 2020

Donovan McNabb has great, fast feet and has learned to lock them in to run the Eagles' offense effectively.
