Every quarterback feels like he has something to prove.
— Brock Osweiler
I play very, very emotional. That's just my style.
I feel like too many guys get wrapped up in this image that a quarterback is supposed to have, and I've never bought into that.
Decisions need to be made in milliseconds out on the field, and you need to almost know what the other guy is thinking and exactly what he's going to do.
As someone who loves being on the field with his teammates, it's hard to hear that you're not going to be the one playing.
With all due respect to Coach O'Brien and Coach Godsey, I've told them I'm going to be me.
The whole key about the no-huddle is getting first downs because if you're getting three-and-out, it kind of defeats the purpose.
Coach Godsey is a brilliant mind, a great teacher, and it's been fun learning from him so far.
Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.
My mentality is that no matter how good or bad the previous play was, move on to the next one.
I could probably stand up and have a press conference and thank 100 guys within that Denver organization, along with all those teammates I played with.
We all know that the NFL is the best of the best, and there's great competition across the board, so any time you're hurt or something like that, and another guy gets his opportunity, he's going to try to make the most of it.
When I make a mistake once, it's usually not going to happen again.
The emotions can take you out of a game.
I had a tremendous one season playing for Coach Kubiak, and I have nothing but great things to say about him as a person and a coach.
I get too hyped before games.
I have tremendous respect for both John Elway and Peyton Manning as people and as quarterbacks in the NFL, but I was not concerned one bit with playing in their shadow.
It's a basketball thing, I think. I said I was just over 6'7," and they made it 6'8", and it's always kind of been that way.
I'm not here to be a puppet, if you will.
Coach Knapp is a tremendous quarterbacks coach.
As coaches say, it's about finding your role. We're coming together as a team.
My biggest deal is I just want to do my job.
I've always been a leader. If someone was getting picked on in school, I'd try to deflate that situation by inviting that kid to eat lunch with me. I've always tried to be a uniter.
I have a mentality of not worrying about what people say about me, good or bad. That's not what I'm putting my energy into.
I have great respect for Greg Knapp, who was my quarterbacks coach in Denver for three years. He taught me so much about playing quarterback in the NFL and made me a better football player.
I would need a book to describe Jamal Miles. He can do it all. We line him up in the slot. We bring him into the backfield. We hand the ball to him. We send him in motion and get him the ball. He throws the football. He might be the best athlete I've ever been around in my life.
I'm a guy that learns from making mistakes. Sometimes that's not the best way to learn, but that's how I learn.
I've always approached the game, going back to when I got drafted in 2012 to Denver, like I was going to be the starter. That's how you have to prepare, whether you are first string, second string or third string, because you never know when something is going to happen to the guy in front of you.
Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.
There's not a lot of time to have conversations on the field during the game. That's where the trust and the practice comes into play, through practice, through off-site throwing sessions; that's where you build that trust and build that cohesion with a wide receiver.
If anybody knows that you need to be prepared regardless of the situation, that's me.
I'm going to be who I am and believe in what I bring to the table every day.
No-huddle is something that I'm very comfortable with.
What quarterback doesn't like some speed on the outside?
I had a tremendous four seasons there in Denver, and you know, those are four years that I'll always hold very close to my heart.
I'm always going to try to win with a positive mindset.
I have nothing but love for my time I spent in Denver, and appreciation, and gratitude.
I have tremendous respect for coach Gary Kubiak. I love that guy.
It's always a good situation to have the target be on you because that means you have been playing well.
You need to have laser focus on doing your job.
