Mostly its just what they know and have seen, Its like someone saying "Romo was the best escape artist we have had" well he was damn good but you pretty much just told me you never watched Roger play because he was the best without doubt. Kinda like the LeBron/Jordan thing when some of us are like "Well maybe watch Magic play center in a playoff series and lead scoring in the playoffs"..your partial to what you see i guess.I see a lot that on Twitter but it's usually younger fans. They even go so far as to say Dak is the best QB in Cowboys history, because stats.
Those of us old enough to know better know passing stats these days are higher across the board because the game has changed. When you point that out and talk about playoff success (and Dak's playoff stats) suddenly it's a team game and you get the stats of the win over 8-9 Tampa Bay. I think it's a defense mechanism to maintain hope but it's possible they actually believe what they're saying.
