It is not fair to him. But it is what it is.
He is now "The Guy Who Fumbled", the play which started off one of the most outrageous meltdowns in all of sports history. When these things happen during the playoffs, they become part of football lore.
I believe that trading him might be the best thing for his career and for the franchise in the long run. I think it is very rare for a player to eventually come back as a "hero" on a team were he has become the "goat".
I don't know that I would go so far as trading him, but I agree with your sentiment. Burfict and Pacman have inadvertently taken some of the heat off him, but he will still forever be known as "the guy who fumbled". It will be exceptionally hard to live that down.
