Or, as a counterpoint, he took a job that would more dependably put money in the bank and food on the table even with the negative of giving him less access.

(I'm not saying that's what happened, just giving it as a realistic counterpoint.  And I cast no aspersions towards jobs that dependably place money in your bank account and food on your table.)

I'm sure this will be the popular viewpoint of many Huddlers. I, however, wish that we all collectively will one day be smarter.

Working for the team gives Bill more access. There's no debate there. He's already had 1 on 1's with Cam and Luke on the first day. What other outlets have had access like that?

The only debate is if working for the team makes him less objectionable, seeing how the Panthers are now cutting his paycheck.

If it only takes a second maybe a third round pick to go from 8 to 6, why wouldn't you do it to guarantee your guy?

To me, this is still true.  If LF makes it passed the Jags, DG could get on the phone and jump to 5 or 6 and not trade away the farm I would think.  Not saying it will happen, just could still make sense if it means only giving up our 2nd 2 or something.

How would working FOR the organization give him less access? If anything it should provide more access?

Didn't BV clearly say that he chose the Panthers for the access and the ability to do video work?

lol exactly

In sports media, access is king, and working for the team gives you a huge leg up in that regard.

I like Voth, and think that he'll do a fine job. 

I've said it before: Breaking news is overrated. It's not even necessarily the most important part of every story, or any story.  It's the analysis of that news which is more interesting. Moreover, plenty of people prefer other stories that everyone and their mama aren't reporting about. And if there is reporting on the same thing everyone else is, different angles are appreciated.

There are different types and aspects of journalism, and in regards to pure journalism, Twitter is not it! 

Just my $.02.

I think the point about access is that by working for the organization, yes, he likely has more access but, at the same time, has *less* of an ability to use the "insider info" he gets by that access.

That's usually how it works with NFL teams.  You zap info out there that the owner, president, GM, or head coach doesn't want to be out there, you gone.

[Growl]

if you think Voathe is going to be using his "access" to dish out insider info you're a certifiable moron

 

you can expect some great team sanctioned newspieces on who the opponents on the schedule this year are and fournette's favorite color

[Growl]

I'm genuinely flabbergasted there ate people who weren't aware that the team is a propaganda machine

 

did you think it was just bad luck that max Henson has never been able to "dish out the scoop"...? lol

 

this is the quintessential " I've got some property to sell you " scenario.

I think there will be a possibility with the 49ers to move up for a 1st next year and a 2nd this year. I think that would be a good trade. It would suck to not have a first but if we make the playoffs what caliber player will be there in the first anyways, We have alot of young good talent on the roster. I dont know who we have to resign next year but I think there isnt too much that we would have to give up the following year. I know Star but who else? Seeing that I see us giving up a first and with our 2nd getting some depth, We have addressed alot of our needs in FA and we can address depth in the later rounds.

That's what teams that have had 4 losing seasons out of the last 6 should definitely do... trade future 1st round draft choices to give the coach who has led that 4 out of 6 more players now and deprive any possible replacement of a choice.
