A Quote by Matt Cassel

I think as the quarterback of any NFL team, you put a tremendous amount of pressure on yourself to win ball games because that's what you're here to do and ultimately, that's what you want to do.
Yelling doesn't win ball games. It doesn't put any points on the scoreboard. And I don't think words win ball games all the time. Players do. Preparation does.
It's hard to win in the NFL. You have to maintain a very delicate balance putting together the right team to be able to win and have any amount of success.
Head coach and quarterback have a record attached to them. And I have always felt a great responsibility to help lead our team to win games, the division and ultimately the Super Bowl.
Nobody, not even the head coach, would do anything to the football unilaterally, such as adjust the amount of pressure in a ball, without the quarterback not knowing. It would have to be the quarterback's idea.

We didn't win a Super Bowl together, and that's something I'll always regret - not knowing what that feels like. But you and I have won more games together than any quarterback and coach combination in the history of the NFL.
It's a team game, but you've got to have individuals that really want the ball and want the pressure of being there to help get in a position to win.
In order for this team to win the game, the quarterback has to throw the ball.
I don't put any extra pressure on myself for national team games.
You want to go out there and do what's best for the team, help your team move the ball down the field, make plays, help them win football games.
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 want to go out and win football games, and I want the ball to be put in my hands.
There's always going to be a lot of distractions in the NFL - that's just how it is; it's on the biggest stage - but really focusing on what I have to do now to help my team win, help me be at my best physically when I'm out there on the field and mentally, because that will ultimately help my team no matter what role I'm playing.
I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.
Any time you can get the ball back to the offense and they put points on the board, you can win games.
I take a tremendous amount of punishment and abuse every weekend because every team serves at me. So I have to carry the offensive load. I'm hitting the ball all the time.
