Ballyall,
It may seem bad to you that players are talking up their own teammates, but when you think of it, their teammates are the only ones that they are really familiar with. Other plays that may be really good they only see play one or two games at the most, so it would be tough to make a comment based on such limited viewing. Otherwise they are only going by what people are posting on this board or other boards or if they are on their summer team.
