I'm always getting doubled; I just have to find ways to beat it. Can't use that as an excuse. Still got to get to the quarterback someway, somehow.
Aaron Donald
It's a headache, chasing a guy around. I'd rather play against a quarterback that sits still.
You've got to try to find ways to dominate in any way - it ain't about getting sacks, it's about making the big plays. If that's pressing the quarterback, making them throw a pick - whatever you've got to do to try to dominate the game.
We always think we can get to the quarterback, put pressure on him.
If you play against a Peyton Manning, that's a great quarterback, but I'd rather have that quarterback that stays still. You have a better chance of getting to him. The mobile quarterbacks, they do a lot of different stuff.
It's definitely tough on the pass rushers when they say you're taking a quarterback down and you fall on top of them and it's roughing the passer. Ain't really much you can say, it's just tough.
Playing the quarterback position, there are so many things you need to master that improvement ends up taking place on graduated levels.
Aaron Rodgers
When you really start figuring things out as a quarterback, you realize you don't have to be perfect every time, but you do have to be quick and decisive.
Like a bottle of wine or a promising college quarterback turning pro, C.E.O.'s are similar to what economists call experience goods: you commit to a price long before you know if they're worth it.
Adam Davidson
You have to have a great offensive line, great quarterback and guys around you that believe in you and help you.
Adam Thielen
I think everybody individually does things a little differently. As a quarterback, every quarterback has their strengths and their weaknesses.
I've played with some of the best that have ever played, obviously. I don't know if there is anybody that is a better technician than Peyton Manning. Tom Brady is another quarterback that I was fortunate enough to play with for a bunch of years.
Adam Vinatieri
Looking back on it, I'm extremely blessed to play on two very good teams, with great quarterbacks and owners.
Game day can be emotional, and there are a lot of ups and downs throughout a game, but as a quarterback, you have to be able to see the bigger picture, steady that ship, get all the guys focused in on the task at hand, and keep the thing moving.
Alex Smith
You look at the best players in the league, the best players at quarterback - I mean Drew Brees, Peyton Manning, the top names - none of those guys are throwing it through a brick wall. They'll have touch.
When I got drafted, I was a spread-option quarterback. It was, 'OK, you've got to get under center, throw to the fullback, throw to the tight end. You've got to learn to be a pro quarterback.' And there was a learning curve there, and I did have to learn some of that.
As a quarterback, I always feel like it's my job to be that steady, calm presence in there.
No quarterback goes out there and plays well on his own.
More often than not as a quarterback, your performance is a reflection of the guys around you. I've been fortunate to be around some pretty good guys.
As a quarterback, especially when I come off to the sideline, I am trying to get things corrected, trying to get things figured out and move on to the next series.
Quarterback play starts with your eyes and feet. Those have to be in the right place and have to be on time.
The No. 1 stat is wins. As a quarterback, you get evaluated on winning.
As a quarterback, you certainly don't want to hamstring your team in any way because - I know this more than anyone - you rely so heavily on those playmakers around you.
It's far different aging as a quarterback than aging as a tight end.
As a quarterback, when you do have a three-and-out or things do not go right, you are the first one to know. You know more than anyone out there what went wrong and what needs to be corrected and don't necessarily always need to hear it when you come off to the sideline.
Playing quarterback, you rely on everybody. Everybody impacts you.
As a quarterback, you've got a huge responsibility: You're touching the ball every single play. You have such a big impact on deciding the game, just in your decision-making and how you are with the football and your fundamentals.
The quarterback position gets a lot of attention.
It's one thing as a quarterback to sit there and warm up. And there's one thing to throw routes. And there's another thing when you drop back in the pocket and, when a guy comes open, to really be able to urgently - bam - all of a sudden. That guy's open; your body has to do what your mind's telling you.
I think the quarterback position, moreso than in all of sports, no other position compares - you rely on so many people to do your job.
This is the ultimate team sport, and I really feel that the quarterback position is the epitome of that.
No one's taking quarterbacks, for the most part, in the first round that haven't had a lot of success.
When you're a quarterback, and you're dropping back, I can't watch what the receivers are doing.
You're the quarterback, if you lose games... it's the head coach and the quarterback. If you're not winning, it's on you.
I was on the field praising quarterback Dan Fouts during a ceremony to retire his number. Boos began shaking the stadium. It was a moment of misery like I'd never experienced before. Afterward, dejection hung over me for days.
Sometimes you can line up with a quarterback after getting traded or going to a new team, whether it's the draft or whatever, and it not go smooth.
I haven't played with too many guys like Dak Prescott, so I think he definitely deserves everything that's coming to him. He definitely deserves to be paid amongst the highest-paid quarterbacks in the league.
Some coaches and quarterbacks over-analyze things at times. Sometimes it can be pitch and catch, let the play-makers make plays.
It's hard not to follow other careers of NFL quarterbacks in the 24/7 news-at-your-fingertips society we live in.
My goal is to be the best quarterback I can be for the Colts, and hope that it's good enough.
He's been so successful, arguably the best quarterback ever to play the game. If you were trying to follow his footsteps, it would be incredibly difficult. I'd go crazy if I woke up every day and tried to compare myself to Peyton Manning.
I realize that as the quarterback, you have to assume some sort of leadership role because you have to talk in the huddle on every play, and you're essentially giving out orders to the team. But in my mind, I have to prove myself on the field before I can start asserting a leadership role.
I'm definitely a football fan, so I try to stay up with how teams are doing, and you end up getting a lot of buddies that play on certain teams. I wouldn't say I watch too much of other quarterbacks.
I think leadership is most effective when it's your own personality. But I feel like it's a natural progression as a quarterback, as well.
I wouldn't say you worry about your health when you run. I would say a quarterback as an obligation to protect yourself as a runner, whether it's getting out of bounds, sliding or getting down, whatever it might be.
I've never really gone for the razzle-dazzle types: no quarterbacks, no flashy guys, and no Prince Charmings.
At one point, there wasn't a black quarterback in the NFL. When you start winning, then you start seeing more. Jumping up and down and screaming and calling people names is not going to change anything.
You don't throw your quarterback under the bus, the guy who makes you who you are.
Matt Ryan does a great job of throwing the ball. No quarterback within the 20 to 25 yard range is throwing the ball any better than Matt Ryan.
I never want to make the quarterback feel like I'm being a distraction or I've got any negativity toward him.
