HitStorylineQuarterback competitionSample
The staff describes the QB race operationally
The prediction
Public comments about the quarterback competition will emphasise operation and decision-making over arm talent.
Thesis
Staffs telegraph the criteria they've actually chosen, even when they won't name the winner.
Supporting evidence
- Prior framing from this staff
- Situational rep divergence
Countercase
Coach-speak is deliberately uninformative and often defaults to generic praise.
How it resolved
Hit
Operational framing dominated.
