Anyone else fed up with our current ESPN beat writer?

What's wrong with him?

Hmm where to begin? He’s a hack who pushes certain narratives for clicks either (a) knowing they’re completely false, or (b) is just too stupid to be any good at his job. He literally posted an article hours before Rhule was hired pushing a “McDaniels is gonna bring Tom Brady with him to Carolina” narrative. And regardless of your feelings on Cam, he has a very obvious bias against him & pushes stories out that are shaded against QB1 allllll the time.

His articles are almost always riddled with grammatical errors and often inaccurate & he never owns his mistakes. He’ll tweet crap out and never correct the record or respond to people on Twitter. 
 

In short, he’s terrible at his job and needs to be replaced.

He sucks, but removing him won’t help anything. We had Pat Yasinskas before him and he was equally terrible. 

I actually preferred Pat Y. Plus, wasn’t he beat writer for the entire NFC South? That was before ESPN hired writers for each team, I believe.

Question, have you closely followed any other ESPN beat reporters to judge Newton’s performance against theirs? Not to defend Bewton because I have no strong opinion on him either way, but some of the things you complain about sound like things very common to all journalism right now. Click baiting and pushing certain narratives may or may not be directives from higher up the food chain.

just sayin.

Ain’t nobody got time for that. If other writers are horrible, let those fans try and get them replaced. I mean it’s pretty common knowledge the players hate him too & they generally get along well with members of the media.

Here's a thought!  Don't read his articles.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
