The ball comes down much differently to a receiver from a lefty. I blame myself for not throwing enough deep balls to Tim [in practice].

If it doesn't go well, then Jesse would have totally deserved [the roster space].

They have a really good scouting report on me - I either run the sneak or throw it deep.

It seems like he knows everything.

Pure guts. That's Eli. I mean, he's a Manning. He's an incredible player. To be hurting the way he was – I know he had to have been hurting, but to get the ball down there 50 yards over the top of the safety for a touchdown, that's Eli. You're going to start expecting those out of him. He's a great athlete.

He's taught me everything about being a quarterback. I didn't know how to study in college. I wasn't certain how to watch film properly. Suddenly, I feel like his project. And there's not a day that goes by when he doesn't tell us stories about Drew and, of course, Leaf and what happened out there [when he was coach of the Chargers].

By far it's the most important game I've ever played in — college, high school, anything. I want to show them I can make a play and put a couple of touchdowns on the board.

I know a little of what Chase went through because it happened to me my freshman year in high school. I remember being scared to death because I couldn't feel anything. The feeling came back after a while, but it really scares you.
