Revisionist history goes hand in hand with recency bias. Bill is not having much success right now, so he was actually carried by Brady, despite all of the evidence that says otherwise. Russell Wilson looks like a shell of himself, so he was always a problem and really not that good in Seattle, even though he played like a top 5 quarterback for several years. I remember when Manning was washed and playing very poorly in his final seasons, there were people questioning how good he actually was prior, citing his poor playoff performances in the past. The haters always find a way to come out of the woodwork, especially when its most convenient.
A silver lining I've noticed, however, is as more time passes, the recency bias starts to wear off a bit and people start to look at things more clearly. Now Manning is revered highly, as he should be. Romo as another example was a punching bag during much of his time in Dallas, but is now looked at a lot more positively. When all is said and done and more time passes, Bill will be just as highly respected as he deserves to be
