Jerry is a genius and we are the fools. Jerry plants these little seeds out there. At the time, they are laughed at but when one of the players does something good, the casual fans put these comments and that play together and think "superstar". They go out and buy a jersey and dream of their guy winning a super bowl. Jerry wins.
No other owner hypes his own players this relentlessly because its bad for the team in the long term. You end up paying them more and holding onto them for too long. Jerry's primary goal isn't winning though. I'm sure he would like to win but his primary motivation is money. As such, he has to keep the hype machine going.
