The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.
I've always been supremely confident in my abilities. But the biggest confidence boost is when the guys around you, you feel like they have confidence in you.
Tonight is not a setback. It's just a learning experience.
As a man of faith, God doesn't bring you to things that you can't get through. He doesn't put you in a spot and then leave you out to dry.
I know the pressure I'm under. I know who I'm following.
I'm always looking for challenges.
I think very highly of myself. I think I'm capable of a lot of things on the field.
Yeah, I want to be liked, obviously. Everybody does.
I'm not playing for anybody but the guys in this locker room.
I think the talent is there to get to Super Bowl 5.
I think the guys are starting to rally around my leadership style and the way I do things. I've been waiting for this opportunity my whole life.
The butterflies I get are not if somebody boos me in the crowd, or somebody talks trash about me during the week, or somebody on ESPN rips me. It's the pressure that I'm putting on myself.
Playing behind a first-ballot Hall of Famer, who also is the all-time record holder for consecutive starts by a quarterback, it's a different mind-set. You just have to challenge yourself in ways that you never challenged yourself before.
If we can string together some wins this year, maybe I'll be a close second-or third behind Bart Starr-on their favorite quarterback list.
I know a lot of friends and family who were Joe Montana fans, where it didn't matter how well Steve Young did. They weren't going to cheer for him because he wasn't Joe Montana.
Aaron Rodgers, starting quarterback - that just has a good ring to it.
I want us to be a connected team-on and off the field.
The pressure I put on myself is the only pressure I'm feeling once I get into the game.
The guys who stick around are the smartest guys and the guys who are the most self-driven. You have to have drive. The coaches can only take you so far. You have to want to learn and work.
