There's an article on the Panthers win over the Vikings but you have to subscribe to Insider to access it. Anyone with access care to give a run-down on the article?

I prefer not to have to subscribe just for the one time a year they might actually write something about the panthers and even now, I'd guess it has to do more with the Vikings losing than the Panthers winning.

Only thing I see in the article....

As for Carolina, Moore played the best game at quarterback the Panthers have seen in a while, finishing the game with 106 passing DYAR (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement, DVOA's cousin that measures total value, not value per play). That's the second-best total for a Panthers quarterback this season, behind only Jake Delhomme's 114-DYAR performance against Atlanta in Week 2. Panthers fans need to temper their excitement over Moore; this game brings his season total to 83 DYAR, which ranks him amid a bunch of other quarterbacks who started the year on the bench, above Alex Smith, Bruce Gradkowski, and Seneca Wallace, but below Chris Redman and Kevin Kolb. Moore also played in nine games in 2007, finishing with a passing DVOA of minus-2.8 percent, ranking 24th in the league. He may start even if Delhomme can recover from a broken finger, but Moore is a good second-stringer, not a franchise savior. The Panthers should look elsewhere for a quarterback in 2010 (assuming they can escape Delhomme's contract extension, which is a story for another day).

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
