Its a touchy subject, 'cause I never want to take it there, where it seems like it's all about race. But I feel like that's something that comes along with the territory of being a black quarterback. When you have success - 'Oh, you're a freak athlete.' Not, 'Oh, you're a good quarterback.'

You know, I'm an African-American quarterback. That may scare a lot of people because they - they haven't seen nothing that they can compare me to.

As a quarterback, obviously, you're going to be put in the forefront whether you like it or not, and if you're not then you're not doing your job.

I want to be remembered as the greatest quarterback who ever played. You have to go out and prove it first, and then you have to go out and work hard.

I don't want people to think you have to look a certain way or be a certain mold to be able to be a quarterback.

I've always wanted to play quarterback, and I lucked out to be able to play for my favorite team - America's team. I'm just living the moment. I feel like all of this was supposed to happen. When you work hard, things work your way.

I'm going to go out and be the best quarterback I can be and get the most out of my potential.

I don't want to be a quarterback that has all these stats but didn't win a lot of games.

I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And that's what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. I'm still learning, and I'm still on a constant quest for knowledge.

If you're the quarterback and want to be the best on the field, you've got to act like it.
