Expectations are being lowered.
People are giving him credit for effort and basic routine plays a highly skilled player should easily make.
Reminds me a lot of Monahan's last couple of season where people would gush over him anytime he back checked or connected a pass, but were greatly exaggerating how well he was playing.
Of course we know Monahan's drop off was due to major injuries, so he had a very valid excuse.
