There are times in my career where I could've called it quits, and that would've ate at me for the rest of my life.

Everybody's got their own opinion and their own say. In today's age, everybody wants to be right, so there's people that hate you; there's people that love you.
I definitely need to do everything I can to help whoever is going to catch the ball.
It's football. The game hasn't changed. There's not tons of new concepts every year that go in. Offense is offense; it's our job to move the ball, to score points, and keep our defense off the field.
It's football at the end of the day, and throwing the ball is what I love to do the most.
I'm making throws where I don't have to second guess, putting the ball where it needs to be, and when I'm making each throw, there's no grabbing or pulling in there, and it feels comfortable and fluid.
I would welcome sitting for a year. Being able to experience what the NFL is like, settling into a new city. You get a house situated, there's marketing, there's stuff going on you're not used to. Being able to have a year to learn the offense, learn the speed of the game, and coming out in Year 2, you could focus all on football.
I don't think I have accuracy problems. I do think when my feet aren't set, I deliver a different type of ball.
I don't care how ugly the stats look. If we're out on top, that's all I care about.
Coming all the way from one scholarship offer, you know, Coach Bohl and Coach Vigen, they believed in me when I came out of junior college.
It's really cool to feel wanted by the fans.
I'm not afraid of the media. I think I know how to handle them because I've been around them enough.
It's intimidating to come out and hear the 'Skol' chant.
Heaving up a blind pass to maybe pick up 10 yards, rather than throwing the ball away - I can't do that.
I'm a competitor, and I'm sure a lot of people who don't get to play because of an injury, whether it's their pride or their ego, whatever it is, they want to be out on the field.
In my opinion, there's nothing better than practicing a play all week and then going on the field and thinking, 'This is going to be a touchdown.'
If I'm not the right fit for the Browns, that's fine by me.
Literally everybody talks about 56 percent completion percentage. It gets brought up in every meeting. It's something I'm trying to work on.
My biggest interest of being the No. 1 pick, obviously the pressure that comes along with that, I would love to have that pressure on my shoulders because I've always thrived in those situations, and I feel like Cleveland would be a great spot to be.
There's got to be a fine line where I can find I'm still throwing the ball how I usually throw it, but it's able to dive down after a certain height and get to the guy.
I can care less what people say about me. If I can go to the facility, work out, play football, and go home, that's what I would do. I'm a big-time football guy. I could care less about the outside.
I've never done any arm-strengthening drills.
The inaccuracy issue. Going back to college having a 56-percent completion percentage. Obviously, it's not great. But I think that it's a little blown out of proportion.
In practice, I think I've thrown it 82 yards, one time. In a game, I don't think I've pushed it that far - probably 60, 65 yards in the air.
Any rookie that can develop a mentorship with a former quarterback like Jim Kelly, it's going to be huge.
You see a lot of smaller-school guys go to the NFL and have success: Carson Wentz, Derek Carr for example.
Football's a part of me. If I'm not playing, then I'm not me.
I understand the New York media is a lot more magnified than most markets, but I'm up for that challenge. I'd definitely be suitable, and I'd be primed for a market like that.
There's a lot of pressure that comes with being a NFL quarterback wherever you're at, and I'm ready to tackle any situation that's in front of me.
I had to decide if I was going to try a junior college or walk on somewhere. I even thought about changing sports. But I eventually decided that football was my passion.
I want to win football games.
The reason I want to be out on the field is to help my team, whatever which way possible I can. When I can't do that, it hurts me.
I just love how fluid football has to be, how much time and energy it takes to practice and then taking it to the field and executing in a game situation.
Stats are for losers, and the one thing I'd like to point out, while at Wyoming, we won games, and I definitely think that's how quarterbacks are judged in the NFL.
It's fun to look over there and see a guy with as a great stature as John Elway. It's really cool that he went to one of my games.
I love football, so there's nothing that's going to replace that. But golf, it's a second.
I'm going out there, and I'm going to play football how I know to play football.
I'm from a small town. I think that's what's going to help me succeed.
Any football game, you can be hit one way or another. It's not the safest sport that we play; it's a beautifully violent game, and that's what, in part, I love about it.
I am the one to admit that I didn't put the ball where it needed to be all the time. But, you know, given the circumstances that we had in Wyoming, we won two back-to-back eight-win seasons. It was a place where we ended up winning football games.
My mom used to call me Joshy Boucher. I watched 'The Waterboy' so much, my mom started calling me Joshy Boucher. True story.
I was in junior college a few years ago, so to be here sitting in this spot talking to these NFL executives, it's a dream come true. It's something that not a lot of people saw coming.
Everybody does things well in their own aspect. We're all different. We all have our plusses and minuses.
I'm just trying to be the best quarterback possible. So as long as I'm playing well and improving every day, I will just continue this.
I think where I come from is going to help me with a market such as New York.
I've got to be smarter with the football.
I got to start limiting the hits I take on myself.
I know I've got a lot of flaws as a quarterback.
My dad has sayings for days. 'You bloom where you're planted' ties into farming, but it also sums up the ideals and morals that we have as a family by staying in Firebaugh.
I am way more accurate than my completion percentage shows.
