Maybe the title of this post should be changed too... it seems “click bait” now 

lol

Eh, sure. Why not?

I think it was more quoting the scene from the movie Friday:
Friday Movie Crackhead GIF

That'd make sense.

Was at work once when a female coworker started singing that song. I looked at her and said "no" and a couple of colleagues thanked me 😃

David Newton is such an idiot. Imagine falling into a job covering a professional sports team for the largest sports media company in the country and being terrible at the job with no repercussions. Sounds about white.

I doubt his being white has anything to do with it. ESPN generally not giving a sh-t about the Panthers probably has a lot to do with it, though.

I do remember back in 2015, they had other reporters covering us for a while, but the following year it was back to just Newton.

By saying he didn’t want to comment, he commented. He fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well-known is never comment on your QB when the front office has decided to move on! He gave away everything! Inconceivable!

Pie for quoting one of the greatest movies ever made.

I agree they don’t give a poo about the panthers. I do think being a cookie cutter older white dude has everything to do with him landing and keeping that job, subconsciously or not by ESPN.

Not trying to turn this into a tinderbox discussion, just wondering to myself how he even has this job after all these years of being god awful.

It was not just newton--the female reporter was setting Newton up--both ESPN folks.  Igo is right--this is click bait, and her question was fishing.  They were attempting to get him to say anything to get a story out of it.  They didn't, so they made one anyway.

If I recall correctly, he was a NASCAR reporter prior to this. He doesn't even seem to know jack about football.

I know back when we were making a run, they assigned a couple of female reporters to Panthers coverage. One, I think, was Josina Anderson. I forget the other but I don't think she's with ESPN anymore, whoever she was (just a vague sense).

I get not putting huge resources into covering the Panthers. To be fair, what have we done to merit that?

Still, I'd at least like to believe we deserve better than a guy that doesn't even know football.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
