Anyone else fed up with our current ESPN beat writer?

[emcannon]

The guy is literally the worst beat writer in the modern history of mankind. No hyperbole intended. Hey, if you agree, maybe add your name to this petition: https://www.change.org/p/espn-david-newton-writes-last-carolina-panthers-article

Sure, it’s not likely to change anything, but maybe with enough signatures it at least gets ESPN’s attention.

What's wrong with him?

David Newton is Cams brother.

Nepotism is the WORST.

You mean Darnell Nosewhistle? He’s the worst

[WUnderhill]

He sucks, but removing him won’t help anything. We had Pat Yasinskas before him and he was equally terrible.

Hmm where to begin? He’s a hack who pushes certain narratives for clicks either (a) knowing they’re completely false, or (b) is just too stupid to be any good at his job. He literally posted an article hours before Rhule was hired pushing a “McDaniels is gonna bring Tom Brady with him to Carolina” narrative. And regardless of your feelings on Cam, he has a very obvious bias against him & pushes stories out that are shaded against QB1 allllll the time.

His articles are almost always riddled with grammatical errors and often inaccurate & he never owns his mistakes. He’ll tweet crap out and never correct the record or respond to people on Twitter. 
 

In short, he’s terrible at his job and needs to be replaced.

I actually preferred Pat Y. Plus, wasn’t he beat writer for the entire NFC South? That was before ESPN hired writers for each team, I believe.

Who cares. Get an Athletic subscription and let ESPN die.

Question, have you closely followed any other ESPN beat reporters to judge Newton’s performance against theirs? Not to defend Bewton because I have no strong opinion on him either way, but some of the things you complain about sound like things very common to all journalism right now. Click baiting and pushing certain narratives may or may not be directives from higher up the food chain.

just sayin.

[Jared Patterson]

He literally said he thinks Rhule is moving on from Cam with no info and stated it on ESPN like it was a fact, just trying to rile everything up. Screw him!

[stirs]

ESPN is terrible anyway

Ain’t nobody got time for that. If other writers are horrible, let those fans try and get them replaced. I mean it’s pretty common knowledge the players hate him too & they generally get along well with members of the media.

Here's a thought!  Don't read his articles.
