Holy shit. I was just thinking. Everything aside, imagine being AOC. Dude is kind of a frumpus, average dude. Not super fit or chiseled or anything, but he is Starting Quarterback for the most badass franchise in NFL history. He is out there throwing passes and handing the ball off to some of the best players in the league. He is supported and respected by all these awesome, powerful people, rocking SILVER AND BLACK! He’s not a captain, and me may not make it to next season…

…but imagine being him. That’s all of us. Just a goober, every day joe, out there playing on the fuckin RAIDERS. I can’t even imagine. The stories he’s gonna tell his grand kids. What a cool thing. Good for him!

    People just relate to him because he’s fucking ugly lmao

    It’s the same reason people loved Peyton Manning but thought Tom Brady was an entitled douche… even though Peyton was the one who grew up with a Dad in the NFL and was an asshole while Brady grew up in a normal family

        Yeah I mean he wasn’t a lower middle class American but still the gap between his and Peyton’s family is much larger than the gap between Brady’s family and a poor family

        My point being is that just because Peyton is ugly people think he is an “every man” when really he grew up rich and with every opportunity to become an NFL QB because of his dad. Not relatable at all to a regular Joe
