A lot of good quarterbacks in this league have taken different routes to be a starter in the NFL, ... It's not always a straight line.

Being a leader and a competitor is what made me successful in college. I know that doesn't get you any points in the NFL, but at the end of the day it's still about winning football games.

I had my helmet on.

It was a great experience, ... I certainly know I'm capable of it, and that always helps. Everybody has more confidence after they've done something.

Right now, I'm doing everything the Jets ask me to do, and I'm part of this team, ... But in the grand scheme of things, you can only control what you can control, and I have no control over in the future, if the Jets want me, or someone else wants me.

I've learned that you best know the system you're in, ... I've found out that guys who play a long time in this league are good and smart, guys who learn different systems and who coaches are able to trust.
