Yep, because Ben has been absolutely brilliant all season, right?
It's okay to criticize. It doesn't mean you don't still support your team or the guy. The world isn't black and white. In the first half of the season, Ben pretty much sucked. He was in the bottom third of QBs according to several different metrics. Trying to paint that as anything but what it was . . . bad, is ludicrous. In the second half, he's been stellar. Although someone might be concerned he is doing this at home and not on the road, he's led two fourth quarter comebacks for a win on the road in the last four weeks (maybe three, I don't remember the Lions game). It's a tale of two halfs of the year. Prebye Ben and postbye Ben. Thank God we get potsbye Ben back.
