Those are not mutually exclusive statements.
This is correct! I also think if Shep is a veteran receiver and the QB is a rookie, then the QB would be getting more flak. However, Shep is a rookie who has proved nothing in the league. Shep is going to get the majority of the flak until he starts making plays. It was a tough catch due to the throw/slippage, but he has made tougher catches before. Making that catch would have been nice redemption. Instead it’s just another heap on the shitpile.
