Remember sports media is still "journalism"....the same people you see writing political opinions.
Things like, "He played a cupcake schedule" while glossing over Trey Lance playing no schedule was a red flag that Wilson was targeted for click bait.
They couldn't attack Trevor Lawrence because he was already declared a generational talent. You gonna attack Trey Lance or Justin Fields with current debate over CRT? Nope.
Mac Jones got some heat as well. But sports media didn't want to piss off the SEC. So your Utah QB, born in wealth and surrounded by a stable family was the "privileged" QB that was approved to attack.
