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 thing I hate about strength of schedule is that NFL teams change so much over a year and past success or failure doesn't really dictate future success or failure
    • Considering you previously struggled to understand BTT despite it being explained in a video, write-up, and multiple replies, I get why this might be a little too complex for you. Happy to clarify again! Just let me know which part tripped you up this time. 😉
    • And, honestly, there's only so much you can attempt to do in the draft. And every draft pick is a roll of the dice. But that's where grabbing a ton of UDFAs, and targeting the best, makes a big difference. Sure, their individual chances of getting a hit here is less, but that shotgun pattern might just hit something.  Right now, we need bulk, partly to rebuild and partly to dilute the deep level of stank that has developed on this team in the last six years. If we're going to rebuild a culture built around culture, accountability and winning, then these UDFAs we bring in each season have to be the wash water that gets out that leftover dirt.  Canales seems to be a smart, culture-first, build up the good ones kind of guy. I like that and I hope he can keep it going here. But he was working against a locker room that had been taught to lose and taught to distrust or ignore coaches. He's got his work cut out for him, still. He does seem to have it moving in the right direction and that's something I was pretty amazed with by the end of last season.
