Eh I'm indifferent on this. His idea was solid and exactly what this fan base needed from the media. Was not thrilled with him personally, and thought he didn't help in reaching the sites full potential.

with that said it was still one thousand percent better than the observer.

That sucks. I look forward to his perspective more so than anyone who covers this team. I also think he is more plugged in than just about anyone. I hope if he doesn't continue BBR he ends up covering this team in another capacity, maybe get to TV stuff.

Voth is overall about as well rounded covering a team as you can get.

He's a smart dude.

Obviously world's better than meatheads like Joe Person.

But some of his methods, and actions the last few seasons haven't really helped in preventing him from reaching this point. You could see things bubbling over at times.

One of the biggest downfalls of this franchise is the complete lack of transparency and connection with its fanbase.

Seems like no one wants to ask the tough questions of the GM, the President or even the head coach. I could be totally wrong, but I've always had the impression that if anyone did dare ask, they put their credentials at risk. And speak to the owner? Who would dare even attempt such a thing? 

I remember the Sunday mornings around BOA from the early days until about 2005 when JR would make his rounds through the lots and visit tailgates and talk to people. Those days are long gone and it seems there is a huge disconnect between the fans and the people that are running the business.

The fanbase needs something like BBR just to give some honest and unbiased reporting instead of just repeating whatever the Panther PR department says.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
