I’m starting to get yahoo’d out

It's better than Cat Crave whose main writer seems more interested in shocking headlines, manufactured stories and and clickbait. Sometimes an inferior site and other sites follow that same modus operandi depending upon the writers. I'm getting to the point where I see one and say, "Oh that was written by Dean Jones," and I don't even click on it. 

There has been a decided lack of quality Panthers articles this year. All I can think is that Tepper and the FO must be affecting indepent news sources behind the scenes very negatively.

Jones tries to use those big fancy words, uses phrases like “those in power” and “surplus to requirements”over and over and he ends up making himself look stupid.

The thing that surprises me, also infuriates me is the small misses in editing these days. In this article it said Scourton was a third round pick. Yes, Cat Crave does go with sensationalist headlines and once you click its nonsense. Who would think we'd long for the Gaston Gazette days!

It’s because a lot of the yahoo type stuff is just “yahoo” sponsored garbage. And they just have to run it through grammatical AI correction rather than actual fact checking. 

a fun edit/add:

The CatCrave site mentioned is hosted by Fansided, and it basically does what influencer channels now do on Youtube with their titles.  It's an article title that is not properly reflecting reality.  Using WAY too active of words to describe benign things to get clicks--  

From that site:

"Troubling injury update on pivotal veteran has Panthers fans on edge"

Translation: Damien Lewis is week-to-week, should be good for week 1.

-

"Panthers’ crucial summer battle ends in sudden conclusion for one big reason"

Translation: Corbett wins the center job as expected

SCOURTON

"While there will be a learning curve for the soon-to-be 21-year-old, the explosiveness and power from Scourton already translates. It’s fun watch Nic Scourton’s power and explosiveness."

THORNTON

"Thornton has good size and length at 6-foot-1 and possesses the physical temperament that could be helpful in man-to-man looks. He is physical in coverage, especially press-man"

-----------------------

Redundancies in back to back sentences? Smells like an AI article to me, or at least assisted and not proofread.

Most of this drivel is AI generated. It's pathetic.

All of the yahoo articles being linked are simply pasted PanthersWire (USAToday) material.  They credit at the bottom through a link (profile: Jared Feinberg - Writer @ThePanthersWire Contributor. NFL Draft analyst. Autistic. Opinions are fluid. #WNCStrong)   

So linking to a site that pastes articles produced by another site.  It's all just content aggregation on wire platforms

I hate media these days so much...flames, on the side of my face

    • 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
