He's kind of right in that the media can really only hurt you. No amount of praise will make a bad team better but the relentless criticism can take a bad situation and make everyone even more angry and frustrated. You can kind of understand why a lot of athletes see the media as an antagonistic entity.
But man, you cant just show your ass like this and get chippy with them because it 100% confirms that it is getting to you even while you're denying it. It's unironically failing to respond without sounding mad and the best qbs don't do that. Yeah, it's probably hard not to snap at the dick who keeps kicking you while you're down, but you're the quarterback. You're supposed to be able to suck it up and show resolve when faced with adversity. Getting baited into testy exchanges with the press is something you should leave to the receivers.
