I don't think it's in Pat's makeup to believe/absorb the hype. Dude is a grinder who has a set standards for himself that would be astronomical for most of us by comparison.
His dad strikes me as the type that has ingrained in him that success is never permanent and failure is not the end all be all. Gotta do the work, work harder than everyone etc and let everything out on the field at that point. Dude has that mentality of keep firing. Mistakes aren't going to make him gun-shy like it would for most QBs.
Kid is special.
