Jonathan M. Alexander is a native of Charlotte. He began covering the Carolina Panthers for the Observer in July after working at the N&O for seven years, where he covered a variety of beats, including UNC basketball and football, Duke basketball, recruiting and schools, public safety and town government.

They should just dual hire D Newton because he is the only one not leaving, even though it would be a mercy to us fans. What say yall, 2 years and he moves on? 

Exactly. LOL

The pay must be garbage at the Charlotte Observer because these reporters run for the hills the first chance they get.

Im familiar with him from the UNC beat. He doesn’t seem like a bad guy, but he has certainly been a part of the Raleigh N&O crusade against all things UNC Tar Heels and absolutely spread fake news and negative stories about Carolina in his short time there. The triangle media has a hard on for UNC and his coverage was average at best. Certainly not as bad as Dan Kane or Andrew Carter  or Brownlow.

This guy focused more on try to “get” UNC a lot more than he ever did on any actual sports

the observer is garbage

Have to agree with you on this. He wasn’t as bad as some of the other people at the N&O but their coverage is extremely biased against UNC.

DeCock was the ringleader in that circus, correct?

Kane is the ringleader. He and Andrew Carter still harass Carolina with bogus FOIA requests. 
 

here is one from Alexander in June 22 - https://nextrequest.unc.edu/requests/20-259

no doubt looking to try and dig up some dirt and find any thing at all that he can spin as some garbage against UNC. 
 

I think one way, and correct me if I’m wrong, that UNC can make it more difficult for these idiot reporters like Kane, Jon Solomon, etc to harass UNC is to privatize the athletic department. I’m sure the money is there to do so.

Dan Kane was the worst one

Kane has slowly moved on to reporting about local government corruption, misuse of government resources, police and CO misconduct - ya know, stuff that really matters and deserves to be heard about. NOT spending almost a decade of his life floating conspiracy’s from pack pride and making a big deal about athletes taking easy courses in college. He is a hack. 
 

N&O reporters also barely have investigated or discussed the pay for play and federal investigation at NC$T with Dennis Smith and they have completely turned a blind eye with the payments to Zion from duke ERRRR I mean a “third party”.

      Comparing a random stat to another rookie QB has nothing to do with the current subject.  Tom Brady had a 6.0 YPA his rookie year.  I hope you're not using one stat to define success of a QB? It's not a problem to want him to do better based on where he was drafted although I still contend it doesn't matter after the fact.  It doesn't matter if we're talking about Cam Newton, Tom Brady, Russel Wilson or any other QB.  It makes little difference once you're in the NFL.  Nobody gets a ring for where they were drafted.   Higher draft picks will get a little more time in most cases as teams want to make sure they've exhausted all avenues before they admit a draft pick can't play.  Other teams might pick them up thinking it wasn't the player but the organization and/or other coaches that caused the player not to succeed.  It's people's expectations that are wrong.  If we could go back and redo all the draft and put guys in the correct draft spot based on how well they played in the NFL, that would be nice.  Then your argument would make some sense.  People assume that where a player was drafted is a statement on how good that player is when the reality is there is a lot more luck than skill in drafting. If Coker turns into a pro bowl receiver and XL becomes a bust nobody cares except fans and the media. What we really should say is it's not too much to expect a player who has started at QB for a team over the last 2 years to be better than he currently shows.   Don't compare 1st round picks.  Compare starting QB's in the NFL.

      Defense is turning around?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      They’re gonna have to go up against a real offense before any kind of judgement can be made of them.  Tlaw looks like damaged goods, Kyler is completely washed, and Penix….well…. they look better compared to last season but that’s what you’d expect with a healthy brown and horn.  I haven’t seen anything that indicates they’ll be considered an overall good defense when the dust has settled. 2002 it is not.
