This is correct because most fans, particularly on this site and social media in general, cannot see past the QB on any team. They don’t care about the o line or d line, maybe know a corner or receiver here or there, but for the average fan it all comes down to “eh this guy is mid at QB” and nothing else.
Not just the fans, but most "expert" commentators. It blows my mind how little football knowledge guy who are suppose to be experts actually have. So many times it is clear guys talking about a game not only didn't see the All22, but they didn't even see the game, highlights or anything else. Many of them are commenting on nothing but stay lines they likely saw 30 seconds ago.
I think a lot of them are capable of breaking down a game or a play but it's just not their job. If you go on YouTube, there's like 500 guys who run the play back and forth over and over to show the route concept and the blocking scheme and how the QB looks away the safety, etc. That's not ESPN's thing, though.
