            No Contradictions at Time Of Publication
          • Deception (50%)
            The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it implies that Brock Purdy's salary was low due to his draft position when in fact he had a base salary of $870,000 which is not considered low for an NFL player. Secondly, the article states that Purdy received a huge bonus through the performance-based program but fails to disclose how much this bonus actually was. The only information provided is that it was about 85% more than his base salary last season, but no specific amount is given which makes it difficult for readers to understand the magnitude of this increase. Lastly, the article implies that Purdy's performance in leading the team to an NFC championship and being a part of the top 25 players listed in performance-based pay distributions are directly related to his bonus when there may be other factors at play.
            • The article states that Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL Draft, but fails to mention that he had a base salary of $870,000 which is not considered low for an NFL player.
          • Fallacies (85%)
            The article contains an appeal to authority fallacy by stating that the NFL's performance-based pay program rewards players with lower salaries who get a lot of playing time. This statement is not supported by any evidence and assumes that all players in the league are equally deserving of bonuses regardless of their salary level.
            • The exact amount Purdy got was $739,795.
          • Bias (85%)
            The article highlights the performance-based pay program of the NFL and how it rewards players with lower salaries who get a lot of playing time. The author uses Brock Purdy as an example to explain this program in detail. However, throughout the article, there are several examples that suggest bias towards Purdy's success and potential future earnings.
            • Maybe you’ve heard this once or a couple thousand times the past couple seasons: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant in the NFL Draft.
              • Purdy made more than $739,000 in the bonus program, about an 85-percent bump from his base salary last season.
                • The leader in the bonus program was Baltimore Ravens guard John Simpson, a 2020 fourth-round pick who got $974,613.

                Giants’ Jason Pinnock a big beneficiary of Performance-Based Pay

                Big Blue View Ed Valentine Monday, 01 April 2024 18:04
                • Unique Points
                  • Safety Jason Pinnock earned $817,224 in Performance Based Pay (PBP), 12th-most in the NFL.
                  • Guard Ben Bredeson earned $764,130 in PBP, 19th-most.
                  • The league's performance-based pay program gives bonuses to players based on playing time and their regular pay, with lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receiving the biggest bonuses.
                  • Pinnock played 1,011 defensive snaps and 128 special teams snaps. He was the primary replace after Julian Love signed with the Seattle Seahawks.
                  • Bredeson started 16 games and played 1,014 offensive snaps. Both were career highs.

                • Deception (30%)
                  The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Pinnock and Bredeson were among the biggest beneficiaries of Performance-Based Pay (PBP) when in fact they are not. According to NFL's official website, Pinnock was 12th on the list of highest earners from PBP while Bredeson was 30th. Secondly, the author claims that lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receive the biggest bonuses which is false as it depends on various factors such as position and team performance. Thirdly, the article states that there are no salary cap implications when in fact PBP does have an impact on a player's salary cap hit.
                  • The author claims that Pinnock was 12th-most in the NFL for Performance Based Pay but according to official website he is actually 30th.
                  • The article states that lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receive the biggest bonuses which is false as it depends on various factors such as position and team performance.
                • Fallacies (85%)
                  The article contains two examples of fallacies: an appeal to authority and a false dilemma. The author cites the NFL's Performance-Based Pay (PBP) program as evidence that Pinnock and Bredeson were among the biggest beneficiaries of this system, without providing any context or analysis on how accurate this claim is. This is an appeal to authority fallacy because it assumes that simply stating something as fact makes it true, without providing any evidence or reasoning behind it.
                  • The league's performance-based pay program gives bonuses to players based on playing time and their regular pay, with lower-paid players who get a lot of playing time receiving the biggest bonuses. It is a collectively bargained benefit that compensates all players based upon their playing time and salary levels.
                  • There are no salary cap implications as PBP is considered a benefit.
                • Bias (75%)
                  The article is biased towards the NFL's Performance-Based Pay (PBP) bonus system. The author uses positive language to describe Pinnock and Bredeson as 'big beneficiaries' of the program, which implies that it is a good thing for players. Additionally, the author describes Pinnock as playing 1011 defensive snaps and 128 special teams snaps without mentioning any negative impact this may have had on his performance or teammates. The article also does not provide any context about how many other players received bonuses through PBP, making it difficult to compare the amount earned by these two players.
