There won't be a day when I stop working to be a better version of myself, so I'm going to keep working and I will get better.
Derek Carr
When I put my helmet on, I'm ultra competitive, talking trash.
It's the same mindset I had in college. As long as I come in and work every day, it worked in college and I'm just going to continue to grind my tail off here in the NFL.
I want to be perfect at everything, knowing I'll never be perfect at it, but that's my goal.
When things are tough in training camp; when things are tough in season; when it's good, you don't want guys hitting too high or too low or depressed. It's just draining for everybody.
It makes you hungry every time you see another team celebrate a championship.
The best thing that you can do is show up every day and give it everything that you have, because anything outside of that is out of your control.
I just want to win. I want to mess up the draft. I don't want the first pick.
My only focus was to be the best version of myself.
I believe God gave me talent to play this game, and I'd be sacrificing those gifts if I didn't give my best every single day.
For me, if I didn't have my faith, the game gives you a lot of highs and a lot of lows.
Too many times I see kids come up to me, especially at the high school age, and say, 'Man, it would be cool to play in the NFL just because of the money.' And I'm like, 'Oh my goodness, you are missing everything, because money is not going to make you happy.'
I just want to be someone who loves his family more than he loves to drink.
I'm a Raider for life.
At any moment, any second, my football career could be taken away, but my faith and relationship with God will never be taken from me.
The game has slowed down for me. It's so much easier than it was. I feel like I see things better, and I can take advantage of what I see.
I love Raider Nation. There's nothing like it.
I still think having an older brother in the NFL is the coolest thing ever. But to see how it went down is sad.
Obviously it's hard to lose a coach; that's not fun for anybody because you care about him and you have a relationship with him. But as players, we just have to keep moving on.
If we win every game, that's all I care about.
Let's go fix problems that I have and let's do what I need to do to win championships.
I broke my back, I broke my ankle. I didn't cry then.
I'm very much into legacies.
When I got to college, my coach let me handle everything, from calling the plays to changing protections to checking in the run game. He let me do absolutely everything at the line.
Everyone knows with a rookie, you're going to take lumps. Even with a first-, second-, third-year guy, you're going to take lumps until you gain that experience. But for me, it was nice to get out there and get the experience and do it. I'm a guy that has to do it.
I had a whole bunch of things I knew I needed to work on from self-scouting. I knew on certain routes what I needed to do and ways to use my eyes and shoulders and manipulate coverage.
I don't really like the business side of football, but I just like adding good players to our football team.
There's a lot of people out there who don't love football, and I don't want anything to do with those guys.
I think just that dog inside of you. When things suck, just to still fight.
I know that I've got some guys I want to put in the foxhole with me, and there's a lot of 'em.
I'll never forget when we won that game my rookie year versus Kansas City. We won one game, we were 1-10, and to sit there and watch everybody celebrate, there's nothing like it. I just sat there and enjoyed it.
It really didn't matter how much work I had to put in... I was always going to give my best. And I think that if a lot of kids can realize that, and stick with that mindset, they won't get so stressed about certain things, and they can just live and play freely.
I don't need to tell stories about how I prepare or manage myself.
I always try and give my best effort.
I don't care about the stats. That's not my No. 1 objective.
We want to play fast.
We want to put pressure on the defense.
We want to go 100 miles per hour and cause confusion for the defense. It can be a lot of fun.
My last two years at Fresno State were 100 percent no-huddle, and I love it. I'm very comfortable in it.
We don't want to be paper champs.
Everything can look good in theory and in practice it all falls apart.
We want to be better than 7-9. Honestly, 7-9 is not going to cut it.
During a game, sometimes you don't know how much you've scored.
I'm hard on myself.
A game manager - I wish people would call me that. That's a compliment.
I got my process down, I got my way I go about things and I surround myself with good people around me and they've done a great job of protecting me.
In the second year of a system it's easier to get through your progressions faster.
I don't give false claims any due.
If you see anything, you see I post a lot of Scriptures.
Making false claims about somebody before you know them, and about a group of guys, that has no business in our world. If we're trying to promote peace and love, I don't think that has any place.
