Changing the quarterback is the only way to send a real message to an underperforming team

You change your quarterback. Now you're sending a message to everybody. Like, whoa, we need to, we need to pick this thing up. And it wasn't anything against Carson Wentz, it was just the fact that we as a whole team, we weren't coaching and playing very well. I needed to do something to spark the team.

Being a backup quarterback is the hardest role to prepare for in football

It's probably the hardest position on the football team that still has to prepare like a starter, but is not playing... you're sitting there watching... and I never did this in Green Bay... but if that starter goes out with injury, I've gotta put the helmet on and go play. I don't want you to play like the starter. I want you to play like you.
