It's always a dream to sign a big contract, but the main dream is winning a championship and holding that trophy up with your teammates.
Ryan Tannehill
When you get down, your game plan changes a lot and what you're trying to do is eliminated.
I love playing on Sundays.
I want to finish my career as a Dolphin and win a championship here. That's what they brought me here for and that's what I came to do.
Quarterbacks are the leaders of the team, and I want to try to get guys going. That's a job of a leader. That's a job of a quarterback.
It kind of sucks being the guy taking the knees at the end, because everyone wants to see some action - no one wants to see you taking knees in the Pro Bowl.
Everything in your preparation, in your mind is we're gonna win this game. You don't really even think of the other side.
I think the tone that the head coach sets transcends to the team.
Some throws we're just trying to make in practice to see if it's something we want to move with on during the season.
I'm going to play the quarterback position the way coaches install the plays; I'm going to go through the reads just like they install it.
The more confidence you get as far as games under your belt, time spent with the guys, time in an offense, dealing with all the bull crap that you deal with in this profession. At some point you're kind of like, 'Screw it. I'm going to be me and do everything I can to win and if they don't like it, then oh well.
Every guy is a little different, how you talk to him, how you handle him and hold him accountable, every guy is a little different.
I'm going to go out and compete every day.
The passing game is timing and trust, expecting those guys to be in the right spot at the right time.
I want to be a great player someday.
There are definitely plays that I wish that I could have back.
I have a lot of belief in myself.
I wasn't a huge pro fan growing up; I wasn't loyal to any one team. Don't really know the divisions, even really the conferences. I know most of the conferences, but some of those, I really have no clue.
It's a fast game, and you've got to play fast.
I've seen how this thing goes, the waves, the ins and outs of the season.
I want the ball in my hands.
We just have to move forward and learn from past experiences.
Getting to the playoffs and going to a Super Bowl is the goal.
I'm not a guy who really gets caught up in outside noise or opinions, or anything like that.
Everyone has a bad day now and then.
I want to make it tough on the organization to not play me.
It's about consistency.
You see receivers getting open, the O-line blocking, and when that's happening, playing quarterback is a lot of fun, man. You get to sit back, and deliver the football, and let your guys make plays.
That's kind of a classless move to celebrate when a guy is injured.
I can say you do get some things out of losing a game.
It's a tough situation as a defender to be put in. I understand what they're doing trying to protect quarterbacks. I've been on the receiving end of a few of those where you appreciate them trying to take care of you a little bit, but I do see the conflict that it puts a defender in.
In those long-yardage situations, the percentages are low.
Guys are going to get dinged and banged up.
We have to be able to execute early in games, whether it's a block, whether it's a throw, whether it's a catch, we have to be able to make plays.
You just have to be smart and know where you're at within the game and find the right time to be aggressive and take a shot. If it's not the right time, then move on to the next down.
The ultimate factor in judging quarterbacks is winning games.
I have a lot of competitive juices, and I want to go out and compete on the football field every day.
Your personal time with God is huge, your quiet time, your study, prayer, but being around other Christian followers... and the church just feeds you. You come away feeling rejuvenated, you get a great message.
When you're the starter, there are certain things that you're able to do as far as leading and stuff like that. So, really having to kind of take a step back in a leadership role I would say is the toughest role for me.
It's the playoffs. Everything kind of amps up a little bit.
Nobody likes to sit on the bench.
I know what I can bring to the table wherever it is.
It's part of my role to push the guys around me to be the best they can be. I think that's part of being a leader.
I have to take care of the football, that's what it comes down to is really - just eliminating the turnovers.
I think there's a lot that goes into an offense, obviously.
Obviously, you have to play well to keep your spot.
It's fun to go out and play and not think about it.
I love practicing with the guys.
I have to make sure that we're in the right plays and I can get the ball out quickly and get into our playmakers' hands.
You can't go out there and play scared.
