Laughable, comical, wtf are we doing when a troll account can’t be spotted?

I think a lot of this comes from that Cam Twitter account, who seems to love JJ even more than Ma McCarthy. I think the best we can say about JJ right now is that while some QBs have had bad days at OTAs (Pickett, Darnold, Maye), JJ really hasn't yet, and that's a good thing. But to note completion percentage, TDs and INTs in 7v7 shells, as if this information is even available, or accurate, is more than just a little whacko.

That Cam Twitter writes the most absolutely ridiculous hyperbole about JJM, it's so annoying. Like he hasn't played a real game yet slow down

Twitter is full of this crap. What it shows, beyond any doubt, that engagement is the key. Nothing else matters, not reality certainly. People are so easily manipulated into engagement online, and its all contrived to do that. Hell, some accounts are using TC footage from last year and saying its McCarthy THIS year. It gets stupid. My feed is littered with it. The hyperbole being so over the top makes it easy to spot. But Barstools isn't what I'd call a decent source of anything, lol. Dipshits. The Sporting News is nothing but an online account now, its nothing like people remember when they put out a publication. Same with SI....its just kids and low paid content providers as 'reporters' mostly.
