It's one thing as a quarterback to sit there and warm up. And there's one thing to throw routes. And there's another thing when you drop back in the pocket and, when a guy comes open, to really be able to urgently - bam - all of a sudden. That guy's open; your body has to do what your mind's telling you.

I think as I've gotten older and the things I've gone through, I'm not as concerned about what everybody thinks.

I think the quarterback position, moreso than in all of sports, no other position compares - you rely on so many people to do your job.
