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.

      You don’t even need 1b because Tepper is the only one foolish enough to wheel that deal.    Player wise? Jake’s elbow. JR and Pep getting sideways, no Carruth, Cam’s shoulder, Luke’s concussions, it would be a long list of stuff. You can take it down to certain plays in games. Fox chasing 2 point conversions in the SB would be on my list. RMJr slipping at the end of that same game was not helpful.

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

      Ultimately this just amounts to heavy revisionist history. I mean you aren't talking to someone that just popped out the womb a week ago. I was here all throughout the predraft process. The overwhelming majority of the fanbase felt like this was a fine situation and the best situation for a rookie QB to go to compared to Houston for example. The hype for Young and our "rockstar" staff was off the charts. No one could dare speak cautious skepticism of his abilities or they would be neg repped into oblivion. Only after he had one of statistical worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years did we get this narrative now that his rookie season actually shouldn't count. Complete malarkey if you ask me.

      On the field? Since I guess it qualifies as multiple instances it might not count, but have the damn refs throw some flags on illegal hits to Cam's head in SB50. If that doesn't count, 1A. Cotchery caught it 1B. Kasey keeps that kickoff inbounds. Off the field? 1A. Team is sold to anyone but Tepper 1B. We have the patience not to mortgage the franchise on that Bryce trade. Stroudwpuldve been the better pick but he's not worth it either.
