I actually enjoy the pain. That's what gives me the fire inside to get up and keep going.

I think I've always had the abilities, but the object has been to perform as well as I can.

I've learned to be patient. When I was younger I rushed things a lot. I tried to attack the game. Now I get teammates more involved before I try to take over.

With the physical mindset I play the game with, I expect to get hurt.

I really find myself doing a lot better when I'm injured, so sometimes I look forward to it. This is the style that I play-being physical, running the football, making adjustments on the pass, avoiding the rush. Those sorts of things go with the total package of a quarterback.

Pressure is what you make of it. It makes me play harder.

The tide has changed. You have to be able to improvise in today's NFL.
