I definitely wanted to be playing the quarterback position.
Russell Wilson knows who he is. He’s not a running quarterback, he’s not a throwing quarterback – he’s an athlete back there playing the quarterback position. He knows that, he understands it and his team allows him to be who he is.
A quarterback that goes out and performs for you and is a franchise quarterback is more valuable than a player playing another position, but there's a lot more risk there. It's a more difficult position to play, and there are lot more failures.
I've been playing quarterback for a long time, and there's a ton of expectations no matter where you are and how you got there. That's part of the game and part of the position. That's part of the reason I love playing the position, is the expectations and the pressure and all of the outside things that come along with it.
I loved the idea of playing quarterback on Friday Night Lights in high school, that whole experience. I wanted to be a Division I quarterback, that became my goal growing up, other than being a professional hockey player.
When you are a free agent like I was, it definitely makes a big difference when you know there's stability at the quarterback position.
Everyone knows quarterback is a position where it takes a while to really start playing well.
I've been playing this position since I was about 9 years old. For me, it's just, 'Come out here and be the best quarterback I can be.'
Playing the quarterback position, there are so many things you need to master that improvement ends up taking place on graduated levels.
One of the reasons I loved playing quarterback was that I got to call the plays. The cancer put me in a position where I really wasn't in control anymore.
I guess that's one of the things about playing quarterback. The quarterback gets most of the recognition.
If there's one thing I can't stand, it's a quarterback who thinks playing quarterback is just about passing.
I wanted to be a quarterback. I used to like Johnny Unitas, the old quarterback for the Colts.
I understand how hard every guy in this NFL works, especially at the position, especially at the quarterback position.
The quarterback is the most vulnerable one on the field. He's in an awkward position a lot of times when he throws the ball. So he does have to be protected. You lose a quarterback, you're in trouble. I don't know if they can make it too safe. I think health becomes an issue.
The team aspect of football and just playing quarterback, having the ball in your hands, having to make the plays, that was definitely something I loved.
I remember asking my mom, 'Can you be the quarterback and the drum major at halftime?' I mean it's like, what in the world? I wanted to go play quarterback, and I wanted to lead the band. I don't know how old I was but I vaguely remember asking them that.
