I think part of it is the ESPN machine. Even Steve Czaban whos a Washington fan touches on it. A certain selection of east coast teams gets so much TV attention and air time that people start to think of them as more talented than they are. People on tv talk about RG3, so people off tv talk about RG3, eventually people think since everyone is talking about him he must be good. It should be obvious but people just buy what theyre sold, popularity =/= talented.
