It certainly helps. When you have a direct side-by-side comparison with an actual shit GM (Grigson), it's easier to recognize a superior (not perfect) GM. That along with the Andrew Luck-induced QB debacle we've had to deal with are the two biggest things that really affect most fans' perspectives, in my opinion.
The next would be Bill Polian as the other bread in this sandwich. You can argue he's the greatest GM of all time and we watched him for nearly 15 years. So the fact that Ballard very much follows the Polian school of thought carries some weight.
I looked up this short piece I remember from Polian years ago. I see some of these bold points annoys some fans a lot...

The 1st and 3rd in particular seem to make certain heads explode.
