But it's about the clicks! There's no journalism anymore.  It's all hot takes and opinion pieces. 

I'm convinced there is a lane and opportunity for someone to cover the sport with dignity but they would have to put effort into learning the subject matter. They could get good answers if they asked informed questions.

If there is they are an adoration.  I remember when journalists were unbiased and sought out the truth and did honest investigation into their reporting.  Apparently journalism school has dropped that part of the curriculum from their degree requirements.

It's embarrassing listening to the questions they ask.  Mike Kaye was trying to dig in to why McCall didn't play and Reich is like "he did, pay attention" I used to hate Gantt but he's the only one who seems to be able to speak in complete sentences. Unlike Person for example, who was always like "can you say a few words about <insert subject>" Just so lazy.

Gotta make money and reporting the facts doesn't do that anymore. 😞

Those assholes. How am I going to get my episode of whiny beat reporters. 

i honestly just want to be able to hear what the press is asking the coaches and players. Most of the time we have to guess what they asked based on how the players and ocaches respond.

FYI... Sports journalism is entertainment journalism. Clicks are king. You can spend a month writing a long form insightful article and no one will read it. A 5 minute hit piece? That will have traction.

 

It's not the fault of the reporters, they have to publish what people want to see.

 

I blame the ever dwindling attention span of the public.

    • Here's the thing. You compared him to Jake. Jake was signed to the practice squad out of college. Bryce was the number 1 overall. Their expectations are wildly different and so are their contracts. You can talk all you want about what a player is and where they are now and all this other mumbo jumbo, but Jake never had a 5th year option and we weren't talking about the possibility of a top 5 QB contract extension at the end of his 3rd year. What he was expected to be matters because we invested heavily at a cost of future capital, including a 2nd round pick this year, for him to be that guy. The cost to add Bryce took value from the team. To be worth it, he has to add that value back.  Actually, I don't prefer yards, TDs, or only INTs. All those stats by themselves are misleading which is why I said you have to use a lot of different stats. ADOT - Average depth of target.  Completion %. Pretty obvious until you factor in ADOT. 0-5 has a lot higher C% than 10-15%. Hang time. If a pass is in the air for 4.6 seconds vs 3.1 on a 40 yards throw, that gives a DB a lot of time to correct. Is it a loft or is it a laser.  EPA - Expected points added. A way of measuring QB efficiency on every play.  CPOE - ranking pass completions based on several factors, not just the throw.  There's obviously more, but those are the more common.  Typical stats don't show everything. You need to look all over. Looking at a stat line is lazy. That's why I said, you need to analyze everything. Once you start looking at the numbers you start looking at the player. That's why you follow numbers. They lead you places. You look at what happening when the numbers show you patterns. That's where you start finding the problems that yards, TDs and Ints won't show you.     
    • It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.
    • Thank you. I don't understand how the Bryce stans don't see this. I've never seen a player get more hyped for doing so little. Honestly it's driving me a little insane.
