Because he mostly got beat. A lot.
If you want to say "He did an admirable job for a guy playing out of position who doesn't have the physical tools to handle the job against a monster of an opponent..."
Sure, I'll accept that.
But he didn't do an amazing job. Or a great job. Or even a
good job. The performance we got out of our left tackle on Sunday was sub-standard. You can grade him on whatever curve you'd like but that fact will still need to be acknowledged.
It's not an indictment on Thuney at all - it's a word of caution for those that think that situation is in any way tenable long-term.
