To be fair, at least on my behalf, he was treated poorly based on the games before his injury. Based on those games he looked like a horrible signing.
But he has been playing solid after he came back from the injury and I(and I assume most people) have been happy with his play.
And Harrmon should be giving him som praise in the media after he flat out stole Gilmores 2nd TD vs Miami.
Quarterbacks have a passer rating of 67.2 when targeting Gilmore over the Patriots’ last three games, according to Pro Football Focus. That’s a huge improvement over the 101.8 figure he boasted through the first four weeks when Gilmore frequently was involved in "miscommunications" and coverage breakdowns.
BB says he's been consistent from day 1.

The only reason New England Patriots cornerback Stephon Gilmore came away from Sunday afternoon’s 35-17 win over the Miami Dolphins with just one interception, and not two, is because he’s a good teammate. Gilmore’s first interception of the game came near the end of the first half as the Dolphins were threatening to score while the Patriots led 21-10. Rather than the contest becoming a one-score game, Gilmore snagged the ball out of the air on a target from quarterback Matt Moore to DeVante Parker, the wide receiver that No. 24 followed all over the field in Week 12.
His second should have come to close out the game, but he and safety Duron “The Closer” Harmon both high-pointed the ball and came down to the ground with it at the same time. Following a “big conversation,” after both players fell to the ground, Harmon emerged with the interception. After all, Gilmore already had one in the game.
“We both had the ball, and we didn’t know who had the ball,” Harmon said laughing. “So, I think when he saw me, I had it, the idea of him having an interception today, he said, ‘You got it. You got it, Duron.’ I was just like, ‘You’re a good teammate. I appreciate you.'”
Gilmore remembers the conversation going about the same. “We were holding the ball at the same time, but I told him ‘I’m a team player,’ so I gave it to him,” Gilmore said. “I caught mine, so I gave it to him.”
