Introduction

HeyTC.com, operated by HeyTC, LLC in Queen Creek, Arizona, exists to cover one thing well: quarterbacks—with an initial focus on the NFL.

This Editorial Policy explains how we:

• Gather and verify information
• Separate news, analysis, and opinion
• Use data, AI tools, and proprietary models
• Correct our mistakes
• Stay independent from advertisers and partners

For rules governing your use of the site, see our Terms of Service. For how we handle your data, see our Privacy Policy.

1. Content Standards

Accuracy and Verification

• We aim for factual, verifiable content in every article, ranking, and tool description.
• Stats and records come from official league sources and reputable data providers whenever possible.
• We distinguish facts from opinion. When we’re projecting, speculating, or interpreting, we say so clearly.
• When content involves proprietary models (rankings, simulators, trade values), we explain the methodology at a high level and maintain a public Changelog for meaningful updates.

Fairness, Context, and Objectivity

• We don’t write as fans of specific teams; we write as analysts focused on quarterback performance and impact.
• We give context—injuries, coaching changes, supporting cast, scheme, and sample size—rather than judging a quarterback on one bad Sunday.
• Opinion and analysis pieces are labeled and written to be transparent about what’s subjective and what’s data-driven.

Corrections and Updates

• When we make mistakes, we fix them.
• Significant corrections are updated in the article text and, when appropriate, noted with an “Updated on [Date]: [What changed]” tag.
• Major changes to rankings, models, or tools are logged in the public Changelog so readers understand what’s changed behind the scenes.

2. Editorial Independence

• Our coverage decisions are made by our editorial team, not by advertisers, sponsors, or partners.
• We do not sell favorable coverage or ranking positions.
• If we publish sponsored content, partnerships, or paid promotions, they will be clearly labeled as such and kept separate from standard editorial content.

3. Sourcing and Attribution

• We attribute statistics, quotes, and original reporting to their sources whenever we’re not the original provider.
• When we rely on third-party data (e.g., advanced metrics providers), we do so under appropriate terms or licenses.
• We respect copyright and intellectual property and avoid infringing on others’ work.

4. How Our Content Is Created

• Articles and tools are created by writers, editors, and contributors with real experience watching and analyzing NFL quarterbacks.
• We bring together:
  • Film study and game-by-game observation
  • Historical and advanced stats
  • Context around coaching, scheme, and roster
• All content goes through editorial review for clarity, accuracy, and alignment with our mission.

AI-Assisted Content (AIAC)

We use AI as a tool to support our human work—not as a replacement.

• Ideas, angles, and final judgment come from humans.
• AI tools may assist with:
  • Early drafts or outlines
  • Language polish
  • Organizing data or surfacing historical comparisons
• Articles that use AI assistance are labeled as:
  “AI-Assisted Content (AIAC): Human ideas, drafts, and final edits—enhanced by AI.”
• No content is published without a human editor reviewing and approving the final version for accuracy and tone.

5. Transparency with Readers

• We’re open about our methods in pages like this Editorial Policy, our Super Bowl Simulator Methodology, and our public Changelog.
• For questions about our content or to flag a possible error, you can use our Contact page.
• We read and consider all credible feedback, especially when it relates to accuracy.

6. Compliance with Laws and Standards

• Our content is created to comply with applicable laws, including:
  • U.S. copyright and intellectual property law
  • Defamation and libel standards
• When we use platforms like Google Analytics or Google Ads, we follow:
  • Their content policies (e.g., no misleading or deceptive claims)
  • Their rules on data collection and consent as described in our Privacy Policy

7. Monetization & Sponsorship

• HeyTC may use display advertising, sponsorships, or affiliate links to support the site.
• Any sponsored content or paid partnership will be clearly labeled so readers can distinguish it from standard editorial coverage.
• If we use affiliate links (for example, to tickets, merchandise, or other products), we may earn a commission if you make a purchase, at no extra cost to you. These links do not change how we evaluate quarterbacks or write about them.
• Our editorial judgments remain independent of monetization decisions.

8. Trademarks and League Affiliation

• HeyTC is independent. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by:
  • The National Football League (NFL)
  • Any NFL team
  • Any players, agents, or related entities
• Names like “Super Bowl,” NFL team names, and associated logos and trademarks are used for identification and editorial purposes only and remain the property of their respective owners.

9. Updates to This Policy

• We may update this Editorial Policy as our practices, tools, or industry standards evolve.
• Changes will be posted on this page with an updated Effective Date.
• Significant changes may also be highlighted in site-wide notices or the Changelog.
