“They say it takes two to three years to really get the West Coast offense down. I think that's the reason why a lot of top picks struggle early on - because they don't have the guys around them and the offenses they're running are pretty complex. Obviously Alex is in a situation where they'd like him to play right away, which puts a little more pressure on him. At the same time, I put pressure on myself to be great every day in practice and in the games, and I will be. It's just going to take a little bit.”
Aaron Rodgers
“I think I'm that type of player that fits well in [the West Coast offense]. I'm real excited to be a part of it. I like being able to get the ball in my hands really quickly and getting a chance to run with it.”
Justin McCareins
“When you think West Coast offense, you don't think of the shorter guys. You think 6-3 or 6-4, guys who can run great routes and can go across the middle if needed. They hit some home runs from that angle.”
Jeremy Crabtree
“Everything's got to click on the West Coast offense. If one thing's clicking, another thing isn't. I think as receivers go, we're doing a great job.”
Freddie Mitchell
“I ran this [West Coast] offense for three years at Carolina, so the verbiage came pretty quick. A few teams called Sunday, but this deal was definitely something I was interested in. There's a lot of good players here that are going to be a good team, so it was an easy decision.”
Chris Hetherington
“It is wrong to think that misfortunes come from the east or from the west; they originate within one's own mind. Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes from the external world and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.”
Buddha
“I'll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.”
