The Decline of Modern Journalism

If you havent been paying attention to whats been goin on the last 2 or 3 years with journalism then youve been missing a serious ass kicking. TV is hemorrhaging viewers and they dont know how to keep you watching anymore. As tablets sales and smart phones spread more and more, people are getting their information in other places. 99% of huddlers know this and come here because of it.

 

Yet there are still those that come here and quote news articles to inspire discussion. Thats fine as long as you understand that they are horribly biased due to the fact that THEY NEED VIEWERS. They will say anything they can and use whatever is the most popular buzz words to piss you off or suck you off to keep you watching. Guys like Adam $chein, Sapp, Bayless, and Dukes get paid big dollars to do one thing: stir things up so that people come watch. It doesnt matter if its right or wrong as long as people are watching. THIS, is the agenda of many modern news stations.

 

The reason why Cam gets so much hate is because it sells more, period. You guys lost your minds when Dave Dame spit on our unis in that contest. GOOD FOR YOU! I salute you and enjoyed participating, but it didnt piss NFL.com off. It didnt really piss Davey boy off either. He probably got pats on the back when the execs saw that they got an million clicks on their site every single day that contest went on. Do you really think NFL.com is mad that they got MORE clicks? NO, rather they saw that when you speak shitty of the Panthers you get more hits. Now they will make it a point to do so at every occasion. They know that we will watch it, get pissed, and cant wait to watch another asshole so that we can make our shitlist.

 

The NFL journalism/marketing team (do they still label themselves as separate departments?) knows that some teams dont have this kind of backbone. Much as you guys dont like it, the Saints fans do, they showed it. Inbred idiots standing up for something completely malicious and wrong, but they were there. The Saints just dont have much longer left in the limelight and the clock is ticking on how much longer they can make money off them. Soon people wont give poo about the Aints when Brees is gone.

 

The Fucs and the Falcants dont have the same support. The fans in those "markets" are more cautious about there faith in their teams. They know Freeman could be a problem and they know that Ryan has taken them to exactly one win in the playoffs after being there 4 times. Sure the crazy hardcore fans come here and try to start poo but thats not the norm. Most of those people in those states are watching their teams and thinking "Whatever, its not like theyre going to win". NFL.com has taken it upon their shoulders to make sure that they give confidence to those fans so that they will stay tuned and continue buying poo (or watching their ads). They are calculating hits on their website everyday to plan their next marketing strategy.

 

The solution is to use your head whenever you read nonsense. Stop encouraging people that use hate and spread it like a disease. Walk tall Panthers fans, WE are the team to beat. WE are the monsters from down deep. . . and WE will beat the fug out of anyone we meet.

uhmm. . .yeah, sure, or just dont read what I wrote and post. :lol:

Journalists suck because they waste all of their time trying to post things first on Twitter and arguing with their followers. They don't know how or don't care about being insightful anymore.

Journalism these days suck because the majority of journalists are lazy and live inside their own echo chamber. The echo chamber creates false narratives that result in confirmation bias in story telling and then lean on one another for support.

Some journalists also get off on self gratification because they know if they write a scathing article they will be asked to be all over sports radio to discuss it and gain exposure.

This is particularly true in sports media.

Cmon T, you cant generalize and say they're all lazy and too sheltered. Many of them are looking watching calculating and planning.

Most sports reporting is not news, instead it's entertainment based and the networks talk up whatever gets the most viewers. Personlly i hope the new Fox sports network crushes ESPN.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.

      If everything played out and that last thing happened, I probably just quit.
