His performance - even looking at FIP-, which is a very advanced metric and a great way to compare guys year-over-year, he was a top 30 SP in baseball and likely would have turned in a 3 win season. Gotta apply some context.
Acting like a top 50 prospect becoming a top 30 SP in MLB by the age of 25 is anything less than a success is just goofy.

Wtf are you even talking about?
His FIP- was 102 (below average), 104 in his starts. If you look at all pitchers who threw 70 IP he's tied for 110, not top 30. This year was his 2nd worst year in FIP- and 1 of his only 2 years below average. It was 80 in 2019.
