If another adult wants to spend his or her money on a pay per view sports website with washed up beat writers and no name journalists passing off their opinion as “inside info” then go for it. This is America. If you want to waste your money on stuff, you are free to do so. That is what makes this country great.

True.

That's the beauty of the Internet: you can find lots---if not all---of the same "hard info" for free. Blogs, Blogs and social media have changed the world.

The Super Information Highway is just that, and I find detours around all the toll roads.

The college websites (like inside Carolina) charge ridiculous amounts for “premium” content which is basically all information on recruiting. You can get similar information on twitter or other websites. I can at least, in theory, understand people wanting “inside info” from a college recruiting standpoint but I still think it’s stupid and a silly waste of money to pay for content. The Athletic is a racket but like I said if you want to waste your money on stuff like this then by all means do it because this is America.

Via the Athletic...

Quoting Marty Hurney, Rodrigue said the issue came down to a fear that if they devoted a roster spot to Gano, they might lose someone else they really wanted to keep.

.

3  of  the  players  they  really  wanted  to  keep  were  cut  the  following  day

What is the benefit of paying for websites like the Athletic? 

Win or lose, the Panthers stats will be the same.  But the difference is in the quality of the writing and the personalities. I really enjoyed Rodrique at the Observer, so I use my 3 free articles a month on the app to read her stuff when something good comes up.  She is really good at her job.  The Athletic should, ideally, have more writers of her quality covering everything.  It's kind of a sports page for America.

For some, that's worth it.  For others, it's not.  I see the point, and I dip my toes in it for free.  If I had the disposable income, sure, but things are tight right now and I just don't.

I’m generally intrigued by it now and am curious to see what is so great about the coverage. Where will I be able to find premium, advanced statistics and analysis to help me win money in my fantasy football leagues?

Maybe.  Downloading the mobile app, you get three free articles per month.  Your tease so to speak.  I have negative interest in fantasy football (just not my thing) so I have no idea.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
