Nobody is questioning his toughness. The kid is tough. It's his reactions or actions that are being brought to light. Such as taking a dive to garner a flag (called out by announcers), the Giddy dance in the EZ, his crying on the sidelines after NO loss last season, etc. These are not Patriot-like. It's as if he needs attention. I can tell you that if he played for another team, he would be mocked by our fan base.
It's a new generation, so maybe that's the way these kids roll. Are the other young QBs doing these same things? Idk, its just weird.
