He has great receivers, he was put into the perfect situation or the other team choked.
I would argue Patrick’s multiracial background is a better example of what the world should be in general. People of all ethnicities have a tendency to segregate themselves even with no laws on the books forcing this scenario. Patrick’s background is great in my view. We need more families like that and less of the self-imposed segregation across society. [Reply]

He’s great in regular season. I would like to see him step up his game in the playoffs. He’s kind of got that early career Peyton Manning deal going on at the moment. [Reply]

Put it this way:
Pat was a Dee Ford offsides from leading the 2018-19 Chiefs, who had one of the Worst D's, to the ****ing Super Bowl. That, in itself, is incredible. [Reply]

It’s literally the same thing that Steph Curry deals with.
Bomani Jones called Steph a “system player” the other day.
It’s even worse in the NBA. European players who spent their teenage years playing in the pros with grown ass men are automatically labeled soft because they didn’t grow up playing street ball in the ghetto. Snoop Dogg spazzed out on instagram and called Luka Doncic soft because people were simply saying that he was putting up similar numbers to other NBA rookies. [Reply]
