Other than offending the tough guy instincts of my generation and older, the main takeaway is probably that he cares that deeply about losing in spite of having a great day personally. Honestly it's a little cringey for me to watch, but if my NFL team is currently without a top-tier elite QB I would happily overlook it.

I’ll agree with you here. Crying into my mom’s arms after I lost a football game is not something I’d do, but it doesn’t even register to me as an issue. I actually wish my emotional growth hadn’t been stunted from a lifetime of being told to “be a man” ‘cause crying feels GOOD AF lol (remember when you’d get a spanking and cry your eyes out into the pillow then wake up an hour later wondering what year it was?)
Hell, part of me almost respects it. He had to know he was going to get ripped to shreds by the media and yet he did it anyway.
It’s sort of a weird paradox, honestly. Is he weak for feeling the need to cry or is he strong for not caring about the potential fallback of letting people see him cry?
