Everybody thinks when I say a guy is a good game manager, that's a negative, but I think it's a real positive. You have the ball in your hand every time when you're a quarterback. Whether you're handing it off or throwing to somebody, I think that's extremely important.

I have to make sure that we're in the right plays and I can get the ball out quickly and get into our playmakers' hands.
