#quarterback

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 can't compare quarterbacks as apples and oranges in my mind because everybody's in a different system. ↗

We started playing the Baltimore Colts early, and I was still very impressed with Johnny Unitas, who just passed away recently. I thought he was one of the best quarterbacks at the time when I was very young, he was in his prime. ↗

I just don't think you pass on a great quarterback if you have the opportunity. If need be, you can trade it away. ↗

I think the only time I doubted myself was my senior year in high school. I was not offered a Division I scholarship. I remember a scout from Ohio State coming in and looking at my film. He was all excited to meet me. Then he met me and I was 5'10" and he said that I was not a Division I quarterback. ↗

I killed many a quarterback. I felt like I scored when I took their head off. ↗

You know, rock stardom... I have a hard time discussing that because I don't really accept it. It's not really that tangible. What's really bizarre is how it's used as a thing - you know, 'He's the rock star of politics,' 'He's the rock star of quarterbacks' - like it's the greatest thing in the world. ↗

There are times when I'm watching an NFL quarterback struggling to get through the game, and I get bitter to some extent. ↗

I don't like the rules about you can't hit the quarterback. ↗

Of course, in pro ball, they never hit the quarterback in practice. ↗
