What @immamac said about 4th and 13 is perfect.
Yes, he made the play. Give him credit for that, but let's not forget he was protected by an NFL front line, throwing to a First Round WR whose talent was welcomed to the league by a sea of elated fans, and that a Day 1/Day 2 QB probably should not have been in that situation to begin with.
Let's be even more brutally honest here: if he overthrew that pass or if Golden had been covered better, nobody would've been shocked to see him drop to RD7. All of that being said, I still think he has RD1 upside, which is how he was a 1.000 five star recruit. He probably would've been the starting QB at Ohio State if he had not transferred. His stats would have been better if he hadn't been injured by Alabama in 2022 or UTSA in 2024.
There's so much "woulda, coulda" on his resume and then the injury history that I understand teams being afraid of the risk.
The key difference for me is that I don't need to shit on him or root for him to fail. I don't need to express ingratitude either. That's loser shit. He deserves a ton of credit and a ton of respect from the fans as long as he truly hasn't embarrassed himself like Justin Tucker.
