FYI ... Writers typically don't choose images to accompany articles.

Or headlines--at least that is my experience as a former sports writer just out of college.  I even took my own photos at times and did not get to choose them.

I stopped freelance writing years ago because of poo like this. It's incredibly infuriating to look like an idiot because of things out of your control. Images and headlines are basically completely out of your control. Hell, I've had articles published that were hardly recognizable from what was submitted after editors practically rewrote them to push the narrative of their choosing.

Me too--they cut leads that were referenced in the closing, rearranged paragraphs because they wanted them to fit the page better, and created headlines that were inaccurate and did not reflect the article's theme. 

Then they put your name in the byline and the paper goes out to hundreds of thousands of people who then attack your story---I interviewed David Robinson (Navy) when he was a sophomore that the nation had yet to know and it was not printed-it was about his growth since being recruited, his work ethic, etc.  An introductory piece that was focused on how a midshipman basketball player (when the height limit was 6' 6") was approaching 7 feet.  I touched on his play, but he was a bit clumsy (after growing 4 inches in less than 2 years).  They did not publish it--until 2 years later, when he was the #1 player in college basketball.  It made me sound like an idiot--like I was telling the world about this guy who plays basketball and he is pretty good--and his name is....Everyone knew him then.

      With a better coach we would have 10 wins already With better receivers we would have 10 wins already With better pass protection we would have 10 wins already With a better defense we would have 10 wins already

      27th in PF 25th in yards May not be bottom 3 but it is still close to the bottom.    2024: 23th in PF 29th in Yards Still bottom of the league even after Bryce came back.  I am pretty much resigned that if the Panthers want to win a SB with Bryce they are gonna have to build an elite defense, kinda like what the Broncos had in 2015 or even this year. Because I doubt the Panthers will ever be more than a 32-20th ranked offense with Bryce at the helm.  Even with that a SB is gonna be hard to reach. I mean the last time a defense carried a bad offense to a SB was 2015.
