Person: "Others players aren’t as sold on Darnold as the answer."

Yeah probably. I've done a lot of that myself, especially in my freelance ghostwriter days. But I'd always go back, reread, reproof, and edit. You write for a living. Do it right.

Yeah I agree. But in a Q&A, he probably lets the hair down a little (pun unintended).

[Kentucky Panther]

Players, coaches, front office, even us fans, know that Darnold isn’t the answer. 

[rayzor]

As far as the actual content....I can see all that. Sammy has a couple buds on the team that will give him the benefit of if the doubt, especially in talking to others. But you know that team, even his buddies, wouldn't cry if we made a change. They know we need an upgrade. They all do.

I can't even do that posting in here. I'll let some stuff get past me and I'll see it quoted and it drives me nuts and I'll go in and change it. I've even gone in people's posts that quoted me and changed it. #modpower

The Athletic should hire editors. 

My good friend was a newspaper editor just 10 15 years ago but says it basically ceases to exist now. It's not valued by the publications anymore 

The concept of "accuracy" is indeed a moving target.

I had a couple freelance editors I would send some work to when I got busy or for big money jobs and they were super valuable. Brutal at times because they would really chop it up but I always appreciated the work they did. It's a shame they aren't used/needed as much anymore.

What's the reason for 5 minute edited policy?  Is this some petty Zod bullshit?

I think it's more of a platform thing, but also could be that some have abused it and gone back and changed some bold statements. I don't know.

LOL 

I hope Rhule is still sold. Go get that LT and try again lol. A healthy CMC...it's all too funny. Some people never learn but at least we can get that LT and still get rid of Rhule next year after Sam's first vet year where he is exactly the waste of talent at QB he has been since college. It would be hilarious if Rhule chose to do what I wanted forced upon him.

"Others players"

C'mon Joe.

No.  Think about it.

Let's say Person does have connections to some of the Panthers players.  If he starts naming names in "print" of those who may not be sold on Darnold, how likely do you think those players will be to answer the phone again?

If a player publicly makes a statement, of course, Person can report that.  But when you're building relationships in an effort to get interesting tidbits, you can't out your sources.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

I cant imagine this is a true statement.  Shouldn't this be in the April fools thread?

Sorry. Didn't have a problem with him saying other players and not specifying. He said "others players".  It's just me be being a grammatical jackass.

Most people aren’t sold on Rhule but the only opinion that matters is Tepper’s.
