That, but I think just as much it's being on a shitty team. People overlook that for the first couple of years of a player's career. There's like 2-3 year grace period. After that, if the team is still perpetually bad, people either (unfairly) blame the player and say he's just putting up hollow stats or something, or they just forget about him altogether.
