Because homers imagine the eeeevil media to have all sorts of powers they don't possess, like impeding the success of the team. Shills like it when Garrett plays it close to the vest or outright lies because they see the press as the enemy.
Well let's see: they forced his brother out; they took away his play-calling duties; and Charlotte looked like she had more authority/input in the draft room than the head coach. Other than that he's had a fantastic off-season.
Totally disagree. Those three killer picks he threw in WK 17 were all on him, not his teammates. He's fatally flawed. He's an exciting fantasy football QB, not a championship one.
