It is harder for me because we know all the work he has put into it,
He'll have a heck of a career, ... That's what you want. You drafted a guy you think will be here for 10, 12 years. If he can stay consistent, stay healthy he has the ability to do that. I know he has the mind-set and the work ethic to do that.
We have our work cut out for us this year but that's good, that's how you find out how good you are,
We don't know where he's at, ... He's been a work force, he's been a guy that's always answered the bell. We'll see where he's at.
We'll have our work cut out. On top of that, it's on Monday night. We've got to get us a win.
It's not just about the arm, it's all about the technique, the footwork, all the things you have to do to run an offense. He didn't practice (in training camp). I mean, practice is practice. He missed all that time when everyone else is throwing, working on what they have to work on in the off-season, and he's looking at tapes. Every snap is important to this guy. He understands his position. He understands what he has to try and do.
It could be more ugly football for us.
It didn't look good. We are keeping our eyes open with all these guys, but he did have a good workout.
He's a good player and he'll play in this league with another team.
He's a little rusty, but he's still got to play, ... His rust is still pretty good.
He's always answered the bell. When you come out of the locker room, he's always the guy that's standing out there before the team and making sure everybody touches everybody. And this is the first time he touched a guy when he wasn't in pads.
He's got no chance of playing in this game.
He's got to get his mind mentally ready to play Kansas City. We know one thing: When he is healthy, we win games.
I think that's what's going to help him. That's always settling for a quarterback, rather than the preseason when you're playing with some guys that probably were good high school, college players, and probably won't make your team. Teams are blitzing you. That's a scary moment. He had to do that for three years, survived it.
