My mom raised me to be successful and not be a knucklehead and do the wrong things. She still talks to me to this day about those things.

I'm always going to make sure I'm doing the right things.

Every day, you always have to be cognizant of your brand. I know it can cost you [future] money, but there are a lot of things more important than money that affect your brand.

I don't think there would be any pressure playing for my hometown team. It would be fun. I'd just do the same thing I did before and build on it.

A lot of quarterbacks have big arms and can make all the throws, but the most important thing is knowledge of the game, controlling the offense and, more than anything, limiting mistakes. Knowing what good plays to get your team into at the line of scrimmage and what bad plays to get out of.

As far as all players [being unfairly connected], people have their own opinions, and they're usually from the outside looking in. I don't listen to someone who is on the outside of what we're dealing with every day on the inside.

I try to do the right things. I was always raised that if you do the right thing and obey the law, you won't have problems.
