He can do that stuff, but it’s a problem when he’s trying to do that stuff every play. A normie fan who watches him in the Eagles Super Bowl (by far his best Super Bowl), might take the position that Andy has turned him into Alex Smith without appreciating that what Patrick did was more impressive on his face that the Super Bowls that contained WASP or the 57 yard bomb to Hardman.

I'll still maintain that the Eagles Super Bowl, especially in context, is the best game he's ever played and one of the best games any QB has EVER played.
He was ****ing unconscious in that game against a SAVAGE philly defense.
Like you said -- it's the difference between the casual fans and the guys who watch him every week. We KNOW when he's playing well and it isn't because he's out there pulling plays from his ass.
It's because he doesn't have to. When he's locked in, it's Neo in the Matrix. Everything slows down around him and he just looks like he's in complete command. The more 'showy' games he plays are usually among his worst.
