I believe I’m a starter in the NFL. … I basically say, ‘Screw the awkwardness.’ I’m trying to be the starting quarterback. … I’ll call whoever, try to set whatever up. If you don’t think like a starter and act like a starter, your teammates probably aren’t gonna believe you’re the starter. So I’m thinking I’m the starter.

Being a starter because you’re the potential lesser of evils between other untouchable (and undesirable) QBs doesn’t mean you’re a starter in the NFL. It means you’re a starter for a mismanaged team with no options.
