Or if people would pay attention when he plays well but doesn't actually finish the play.
He's not lollygagging in Q1-3, he's just not always finishing the play off and people are ignoring him when he just does his job. I read the post-game reactions here and am oftentimes left to wonder if we're just watching a different game. People will absolutely wreck Ford and when I watched I saw a guy that played fine. Not amazing, but solid, yeoman's work from a guy that's a solid but unspectacular player.
Ford's been fine this year, even when people were excoriating him. He's not amazing and not a guy I'd be looking to build around. I wouldn't even guarantee him a roster spot past his rookie deal. But the blame he's taken 'round here has been absurd.
