I don’t get how we hold a 2nd year QB who has gone to NFC championship game in both of his first two years gets held to the Standard of all the elite QBs but none of the credit when he plays elite. 3-1 record in the playoffs and hasn’t lost a playoff game in which he has started… https://t.co/2i1tKib3IS

Truth.
Think about this in basketball terms. The 60th pick in the draft, all of a sudden becomes a starter mid-way in his rookie year, dominates and then is expected to lead the 49ers to a superbowl the next season. Gets told he's a fraud if he struggles. Gets told he's carried by his weapons/coach if he plays well. He actually can't win with the media, it's insane.
20-5 record as a starter, with the 1 playoff loss him not having a functioning elbow for the entire game. Set 49ers passing records this year. Just showed vs GB that he can step up in crunch time and deliver a game-winning drive.
