Brian Billick Entire Quotations

This quarterback class looks pretty good. It looks pretty broad based across the entire draft. But I don't care how good an evaluator you are and what your track record is, you draft a guy in the first round, it's a crapshoot. It's 50-50. And that's the thing that will concern most teams. ... When one of us is wrong, we're kind of all wrong, and that tells you how iffy the evaluation of the quarterback process is.

We've spent an entire offseason addressing and looking very candidly at why that happened and addressing the reason for it. This team needs to move forward very aggressively. We're very proud of the legacy we have here, but this team's going to have a new identity, it really is. It's different than any team we've had.

He's like no other quarterback in the league. That's what makes him so dynamic, ... There's so much they do at the line. They don't do a lot personnel-wise. They don't do a lot formationally. Everything he does, he calls the entire offense from the line basically.

You could spend the entire offseason preparing for what New Orleans does to this point, ... But if they're a zone team, they could decide, you know what, we're going to blitz every down. In preseason, it's really about you and what you're trying to do than what's the opponent doing.
