I was a third string guy for a couple of years.

I'm the Harvard guy everywhere, every day. There are worse things to be called, worse things to be known by I guess.

My wife is also from Harvard and we do have some family in the Cambridge area so we try to make it back at least once a year. We really enjoyed our time out there.

I play because I love the relationships.

I play because I love the game.

I'm trying to do the best I can every day.

I've been a lot of places and worked with a lot of different guys. High draft picks. Low draft picks.

When I got drafted, I just wanted a jersey. Once they gave me the jerseys, like, I was just hoping that they kept me on the team.

Absolutely I'd be happy with my career.

My career has been so different than most guys. I've kind of bounced around and always, one way or another, ended up in the starting lineup. So I would say my career has been very unique.

I have enjoyed every single step of the journey that I've been on.

Unfortunately, football's hard and you're going to have bad games sometimes.

I'm getting better as a quarterback. A lot of that is an understanding of the game, of myself, of who I'm playing against.

When you play quarterback and the offense doesn't play well, a lot of that is because of the quarterback. You're going to receive the criticism.

I would have loved to stay in Buffalo and all that.

I've never been fast, but I can move well enough to do what I need to do.

One thing that I've learned about myself is I have to trust what I see. And that maybe sounds silly, but there's things that I feel or see during a game that, you know, I used to explain it as I have an angel on one shoulder that's telling me to run the play and the devil on the other shoulder that's telling me really what I should do.

I know myself so well. So I know if I'm not confident in the play, it's not going to be a good play.

As you get older, life gets more complicated.

Competition definitely brings out the best in you.

I've had so many ups and downs in my career. When it's going good, you learn to enjoy the ride.

My normal is craziness - moving around and jumping from team to team and having to get used to different guys in a short period of time.

You never know what's going to happen in the NFL. That's probably the thing I've learned most - expect the unexpected and go from there.

I wouldn't trade my experience for anybody's.

I've been called worse than a Harvard kid.

I'm not gonna throw a Ryan Leaf bullet, but I've got a good enough arm, where I think it'll turn some heads and keep them interested.

I try to be the same guy every day, no matter the situation, no matter the adversity.

That's one of the things with a championship-caliber team, is how it deals with injuries.

The two things that make you a good head coach in this league are if you can get the players to respect you and if you can come across with a clear, consistent message.

Any time I see Kansas City on the schedule, especially when it's an away game, you start to think about the experience of playing in Arrowhead and how difficult it is to come in and play with the noise and how great those fans are.

I feel like the luckiest guy in the world sometimes, getting to go outside and play football with my friends.

Constantly getting knocked down and picking myself back up, the relationships I've been able to form with all the different people in the different cities, I wouldn't trade it for anything.

All I want to do is go out there and win.

It's hard when you let people down.

For me, always being ready and knowing that when I have my opportunity, I have to go out there and do my best. My whole career has been like that. I try to do my best in putting my focus in what I can control.

I've never been to playoffs.

I've not had a career like Brady or Rodgers with all the Super Bowls and the incredible things they've done. But for me, the adversity made me who I am.

I have horrible style.

The Fitzpatrick home is happy when we're winning.

I enjoy playing, especially when you're having success, when you're driving the ball down the field scoring touchdowns.

I'm as competitive as they come.

It always helps when you're working out with other people, especially your teammates.

All I can do is play as hard as I can play, make as many plays as I can make and try to help my team win football games.

Football is not a game about numbers. It's about wins and trying to go out and play better than the other team.

I just have to continue to prepare and try to be the best guy I can be every Sunday, whether that's coming off a good game or a bad game.

I would much rather pass up on some of that guaranteed money... and bet on myself and just see what happens.

I have something to prove every year.

I just go out there and throw. That's what I've done my whole life.

I knew I had a long way to go with my mechanics.

Whenever Tua gets his chance, I'm going to be his biggest cheerleader.
