Zitat des Tages von Brock Osweiler:
Obviously it happens very fast on the field during the game; if anything, it's more of a feel. You feel when the pocket is collapsing around you. You feel when someone is close to you. It is a split-second decision.
I've always approached the game, going back to when I got drafted in 2012 to Denver, like I was going to be the starter. That's how you have to prepare, whether you are first string, second string or third string, because you never know when something is going to happen to the guy in front of you.
What I'm trying to do is maximize every day.
I'm going to show up and do my job to the best of my abilities every day, every week.
I'm going to be who I am and believe in what I bring to the table every day.
As long as we're winning football games, I'm happy.
Coming to Houston was an opportunity that I couldn't pass up.
Anytime you play New England, you know it's going to be a challenge.
My wife will act as the offensive coordinator at times during the evening. I'll have her read the full play to me. I'll sit there and try to picture it, spit it back out to her, make sure I'm verbalizing it the right way so that when I step into the huddle the next day in practice, things are coming out clear.
When there's pressure, I believe people will break under it or a diamond will be created.
It starts with me. I have to get the team in the right play and throw the ball where it's supposed to go.
Any time a team doesn't score points, it's on me.
If you are going to be a starter in the NFL or a major-college program, you are going to have to beat out other great quarterbacks.
I feel like too many guys get wrapped up in this image that a quarterback is supposed to have, and I've never bought into that.
With all due respect to Coach O'Brien and Coach Godsey, I've told them I'm going to be me.
I love coming to work every single day.
Decisions need to be made in milliseconds out on the field, and you need to almost know what the other guy is thinking and exactly what he's going to do.
I've always had visions of being a starting quarterback. That's why I come to work every day.
If I am ever the starter of the Denver Broncos, I want it to be because I earned it.
My belief is whether I'm the starter, whether I'm the backup, I'm going to show up the same exact way. I'm going to prepare the same exact way, and I'll always be ready to go.
For Mr. Elway to take me in the second round and show that trust that he has in me and the upside he thinks I have, I want to go out and there and prove him right. I want to be able to have him look back 10 years from now, 15 years from now, and have him be very proud about that selection and let him know that he did make the right selection.
I feel like I get better every week.
I think anytime that you can eliminate the big hit, it's obviously not only going to be good for your team, but it's going to be good for yourself.
I'm always going to try to win with a positive mindset.
A lot of people say, 'Oh, playing backup quarterback, that's the best position in the world.' Well, what they don't understand is when we leave the building at 5 o'clock on Wednesday or Thursday when practice wraps up, we still need to go home and study and prepare just like you're the starter.
Any competitor would be frustrated in that moment... but it certainly made sense what Coach Kubiak did for the playoff run. I got replaced by Peyton Manning... I think we all know who is going to play in the game.
It's very exciting... what DeAndre brings to the game is truly special. To have the opportunity to play with a football player like that, that's what gets a quarterback out of bed in the morning.
As a competitor, you want to be out there in the fire with your teammates.
I had a tremendous four seasons there in Denver, and you know, those are four years that I'll always hold very close to my heart.
My biggest deal is I just want to do my job.
When Peyton went into the game and remained the starter, it was OK with me because our team was winning games. We won a championship.
You can't take a single day for granted in the National Football League. Every single day, you need to earn your spot on the roster.
I have tremendous respect for coach Gary Kubiak. I love that guy.
The emotions can take you out of a game.
Competition brings out the best.
Football is a game you're supposed to have fun in.
