The issue is that fans see the starter struggling, and are quick to assume that the coach has a seniority fetish and is unwilling to put the touted freshman in because of obstinacy. The thing is that fans don’t see the touted freshman struggle in practice and make mental errors, and that, just maybe, there’s a reason that the more experienced player is starting.

Good example of this was all the people calling for the Brown (backup QB) to start when the starter (Gilbranson) struggled.  turns out the coaches were probably right.
