Interesting he talked about how when they choose a QB it is his job and they aren't looking to play two. He also talked about how he wants the #1 QB to have some slack:

"I can't see playing two quarterbacks. What we do offensively, it lends itself to having one guy. We are going to make a decision and we are going to go with that guy. By the same token, those guys are only as good as their next. The good news is all these guys are professionals and work hard so they won't lose their job because they are not prepared. They will lose their job because of production. At the end of the day, we have to give that guy some rope and toss him the keys and let him play. We don't want robots at that position. We have seen how that has gone in the past. We know the way that story ends some times. We want guys to use their athletic ability and be able to create some things for us. The only way to do that is to give a guy some confidence that he has earned the job and give him some opportunity to be right. Go out there and make those plays, make those calls, make those checks and get us in the right play. That way they are confident when they make those decisions because it is what they see, not what we see. We are getting pretty close."
