it all depends what kind of credit you are giving him.
if you are talking about being able to lead the team to winning records, yeah he should get recognition for that because he's done it. only 1 losing season. not bad.
but if you're talking about leading the team to do something special (which at this point should include a conference championship appearance...minimum) then he has yet to prove that. and obviously won't get credit cause he hasn't done it.
every year we've seen similar things. he looks really really good against certain teams but when the opposing D is top notch which we will see in the playoffs, he ends up making silly plays like taking a sack when your in FG range, or forcing the ball into double coverage and costing the team dearly with those careless mistakes.
playing smart football will be needed.
