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. 

Attention span about the same with most news stories, local and national. People read the brief “hit” pieces and will not research to find the facts.

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.

I remember years ago Tony Romo threw for 500 yards with 5 TDs and 1 INT.  The 1 INT set the Broncos up for the game winning field goal, and they won in a 51-48 shootout.  Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan did a very nice breakdown of the game and the particular play that Romo was picked off.  They set up the situation, the playcall and the pre-snap reads on offense and defense.  They took us threw every step of the play and everything that Romo was seeing and would have been thinking as he went thru his progressions.  They detailed the route combinations, the pass blocking scheme and execution as well as how the defense did in executing their assignments on the play.  They even took the time to let us know that Romo's left tackle was pushed back just enough that Romo stepped on his foot right as he was in his throwing motion, taking just enough off the pass to allow the Broncos player to make a diving interception.

I remember being at my friend's house and he turned on Steven A. Smith, who only gave the insight of "Romo choked again because that's what Romo does!"  Nothing else.  That was it.  And it probably made much more money to say that than the detailed explanation from Jim and Pat.  It sucks.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      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.

      ESPN guys talk Bryce fifth year option

      It's not relevant who wins or loses. It's about actually attempting to get better at the position.

      Bryce might be the most frustrating player we've ever had.

      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.
