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.

    • Hate to say it but we can't fire DC right now. He was basically forced to work with BY as part of his conditions for being hired and hasn't really had the opportunity to get a QB of his own. That's not a good look when you're interviewing new candidates. A coach has to be given the chance to do his job with players that fit what he does and DC hasn't been given that chance. Fire him and you're putting another box on the list to keep coaches from coming here. Plus, Morgan needs to be given another year as well so he can either show he's can have a successful draft or he's a bust as well so the whole damn show can be flipped and started over with a president of football operations and build from there. No more hold overs. Empty the damn building and start with a brand new staff. 
    • It's both column A and column B. Bryce ain't going to make it as an NFL starting QB. At least not here and probably not ever, the physical limitations just can't seem to be overcome consistently. And that's a shame because, well, he's a good kid and I wish it had worked out for him and us. But also, this ain't working out here as a team. We're poorly built from bottom to top. There's no consistency in coaching, there's no team identity, there's no grit, no depth and seemingly little plan or resistance to market influences that get us to buy high and sell low. We have a few guys we call star players that would, well, be starters on other teams, and a crap ton of starters that would be back-ups, bench sitters or free agents outside of this organization. No QB is going to come here and have much success. Much like Rodgers with the Jets, we just don't have fug all for a team. The QB, no matter the pedigree, can't pull us out of the mudhole we have created for ourselves as we've wallowed over the last seven years. No matter how high we draft a QB here, we'd just be planting a seed on rocky soil. It wouldn't survive. Look at Mac Jones and how he has played over three games in San Fran. He was supposed to be a total career washout, another 'Bama Bust. Guy looks like he can handle the game, because he has a well coached, professional team around him. One that has a lot of injured stars, but still fights to win. And you can look at Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold, two guys who washed up on our deserted desert island and floundered mightily here. But man, put them on solid teams and they both are living up  to their original draft status. To be perfectly honest, this poo won't change until we, as an organization, change down deep. There has to be a total sea change here. We can't make the owners go away, but we can pressure for them to blow this thing completely up and hire in a handful of consultants, perhaps retired GMs and HCs with winning programs in the N-fuging-FL. Then remake it all. Management, coaching, team, trainers, scouts, even equipment folks. Sorry, I'm tired of this pile of horseshit we call a team. It has just eaten alive the careers of many young athletes and all of us fans since the change in ownership.
