Anyone else fed up with our current ESPN beat writer?

What's wrong with him?

Hmm where to begin? He’s a hack who pushes certain narratives for clicks either (a) knowing they’re completely false, or (b) is just too stupid to be any good at his job. He literally posted an article hours before Rhule was hired pushing a “McDaniels is gonna bring Tom Brady with him to Carolina” narrative. And regardless of your feelings on Cam, he has a very obvious bias against him & pushes stories out that are shaded against QB1 allllll the time.

His articles are almost always riddled with grammatical errors and often inaccurate & he never owns his mistakes. He’ll tweet crap out and never correct the record or respond to people on Twitter. 
 

In short, he’s terrible at his job and needs to be replaced.

He sucks, but removing him won’t help anything. We had Pat Yasinskas before him and he was equally terrible. 

I actually preferred Pat Y. Plus, wasn’t he beat writer for the entire NFC South? That was before ESPN hired writers for each team, I believe.

Question, have you closely followed any other ESPN beat reporters to judge Newton’s performance against theirs? Not to defend Bewton because I have no strong opinion on him either way, but some of the things you complain about sound like things very common to all journalism right now. Click baiting and pushing certain narratives may or may not be directives from higher up the food chain.

just sayin.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. If other writers are horrible, let those fans try and get them replaced. I mean it’s pretty common knowledge the players hate him too & they generally get along well with members of the media.

Here's a thought!  Don't read his articles.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
