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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
