People’s scouting ability is a skill by itself.
However anyone who watched 60+ games of Neal closely last year certainly has a much more well informed opinion than anyone who watched Neal not closely in only a few games. That is pretty indisputable. Not really sure what you’re trying to argue here bud. The Flames fan base is more knowledgeable and well informed about James Neal’s recent play than any reporter not based in Calgary. Just because someone is a reporter does not mean their opinion is more valid than people who are more well informed about the subject matter.
So insulting the fan base here because we disagree with reporters who barely watched Neal play last year is a chump move imo.
