      • Deception (30%)

Firstly, it states that Carson Wentz has signed a one-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs when he hasn't actually signed anything yet and there are no reports of him agreeing to such a contract. Secondly, the article mentions that Wentz is joining the defending Super Bowl champions but fails to mention that he was cut by his previous team, Washington Commanders, before signing with Kansas City. Thirdly, the article states that Wentz has thrown for 1755 yards in seven games as Washington's starter in the 2022 season when it is actually only six games and not seven.

                The article contains several examples of deceptive practices. Firstly, the author uses a comparison between Carson Wentz and Patrick Mahomes to make it seem like they are similar when in fact they have different playing styles and strengths. Secondly, the author makes an offensive comment about Bob Wankel, Kyle Pagan, and Investor Mike which is not relevant to the topic at hand. Lastly, there is a lack of sources disclosed or quoted in the article.

              • Fallacies (75%)
                The article contains several informal fallacies. The author uses inflammatory rhetoric by making derogatory comments about other players and their contributions to the team. This is evident in statements such as 'I'm thankful for Carson's contributions during the 2017 Super Bowl season, unlike pitiful ingrates Bob Wankel, Kyle Pagan, and Investor Mike.' The author also uses an appeal to authority by referencing Andy Reid. However, this is not a fallacy as it is relevant information about Carson's new role with the team.
                • Carson went 17 for 24 with two touchdowns and a pick, and ran for 56 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries.
              • Bias (75%)
                The author has a strong religious bias. The use of the phrase 'blaine gabbert was the backup last year' implies that Gabbert is not as good as Wentz and suggests that he may be white. This is an example of racial profiling and stereotyping.
