I've always believed in myself and I've surrounded myself with positive-thinking people. That's why a lot of times I don't watch the sports shows or listen to the radio because of that simple fact, that there's too many critics out there and if you listen to everybody's opinion, I think it works against you.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Any time you can come down and score on your first drive, that's what you're trying to accomplish.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
The Thursday night game is by far the most difficult game to prepare for. You can't get into as much depth as you normally would in your game plan because you just don't have the time. You've got to jump right into the next opponent.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I was in Minnesota in 2014 when Adrian Peterson was suspended. In that situation, we were about to play the Patriots when his suspension came out the Friday before the game.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Unfortunately, I've been around a lot of organizations over my 14-year career that have dealt with off-field issues.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
The thing about the 2008 season which sticks out for so many people was we were coming off the 18-1 year where we went to the Super Bowl and lost in dramatic fashion with the catch and everything else that happened.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
The first thing that came to mind when I met Tom Brady was intimidation. I'm showing up in 2005 with a guy who just came off his third Super Bowl win. So, it's a little intimidating walking in the room with Tom Brady for the first time.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
When I was a kid, we used to play 'Madden' and 'NCAA Football' all the time. I have two brothers, so we grew up on these games.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
At first when I first went to the Chiefs, there was a huge transition from what we had done in New England to a team that was rebuilding.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I've been on a number of NFL teams, and a lot of them address situational football. But I've never been around a team that does it as meticulously as the New England Patriots.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
In 2005, our starting center, Dan Koppen, went down with a season-ending injury. Russ Hochstein was always our interior 'swing guy' - he played guard and center - and I remember Russ stepping in and playing beautifully.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
We knew what was going on with Spygate. We were in football mode, and it didn't impact our day-to-day. There's so much noise on the outside - 'You're cheaters, you're this, you're that' - but the easiest way to settle that is to go 18-0 and go to the Super Bowl.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
It always comes down to being accountable to your teammates and so many times you get caught up in everything else going on. And I remember as a young guy, you always worry about, 'Well, who's getting the reps,' and this, that and the other, and it takes you and distracts you away from just doing your job.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I've been through a lot in my career. I've been through the ups, I've been through the downs. I've been through the highs and the lows.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
You just have to always go out and continue to work hard, watch the film, see what you did wrong from an offensive unit and individually. Then, you just have to go out and do better the next time out. That is what sports is all about.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I am just saying people can be successful even though they might not be well known.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
So for me, it's just continue to go out and work hard and do what I've been coached and let the other guys take advantage of what they do successfully and then just let the chips fall where they may.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
There are a lot of things that you learn as a rookie and you grow the most, I would say as a rookie from your first year to your second year.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
You never know from week to week how one team is going to attack you versus another team.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
As a competitor, as a guy that wants to play, of course, it would be great to go out and play.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I think as the quarterback of any NFL team, you put a tremendous amount of pressure on yourself to win ball games because that's what you're here to do and ultimately, that's what you want to do.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Your leader on the offensive line is your center, because the communication really takes place between him and quarterback.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
There are definitely times when taking a sack is a better play than doing something else and trying to make a play when something is not there.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Goal line is goal line. You go down there and it's the grit and grind of the game.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Without a lot of college film, a lot of people had written me off already. When the Patriots called, I was pretty happy.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I've said this time and time again: Dante Scarnecchia is the best offensive line coach in the NFL.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
You've probably heard from 100 different people that the Patriots are a game plan offense. Here's what that means: We're going to watch the defense specifically to identify their tendencies, what they do situationally and what their philosophy is.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I think the toughest job in football is always to be the starter, because everybody looks to you for guidance.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I think that's the genius part of what the Patriots do: They go above and beyond in identifying the issue and doing whatever they can to make sure it doesn't wreck the offensive plan.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Anytime we can get the running game going it is a plus for me and it makes my job a lot easier.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
Honestly, I have no ill will toward Kansas City or anything that happened here.
Quote by -Matt Cassel
I have big hopes and big dreams and aspirations to do great things in the NFL.
