While we may not be fully aboard the analytics wagon, there are a few names there that have done good work with analysis of both tape and data and have found employment in pursuing those very subjects with larger sites or teams themselves. It's heartening in a way - yes, if you work hard and dedicate yourself to a subject and immerse yourself in it and then promote that work ceaselessly you can get noticed by the very institutions you are operating outside of.
I've been particularly fond of Sam R Gold and donated to his Patreon out of pocket before he was picked up by The Athletic. Here's a dude covering the Seahawks who isn't at his very core a Seahawks fan (he roots for the Skins). But he has professional outlook and capability that get noticed and recognized and he continues his work on our guys. It's a treat.
I wonder if there are any .net folks who will make the leap?
