nope and the last pic of Luck I saw he looks like he has lost a lot of weight and muscle.  Not surprising 

Actually looks like there is a big rumor and a lot of talk about Luck coming back to the Colts.  Check this out:

ESPN is and has been dead to me. A big part of that is Newton being awful for years and years.

Not sure how everyone is taking this as a statement.  He totally deflected from the question. He clearly didn't want to make a statement either way. These dudes know how to play the media.

McCafferey taking issue with David Newton...

That Bill Voth retweeted McCaffrey's response probably doesn't say good things about how Newton is viewed inside the building.

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 that job with no repercussions. Sounds about white.

Could replace his name with Joe Person or any number of others and it would be equally true, heh

[Sgt Schultz]

David Newton and credibility have a very distant relationship.

Newton can be such a putz sometimes. 

He should think before he writes--consider the consequences!

True but to be fair to Joe he has done better work since moving to the athletic.

Maybe I viewed the wrong First Take interview with McCaffrey but a lady questioned him about his thoughts on Bridgewater not Newton. All McCaffrey said was that it wasn't his job to make those decisions and he's glad that he doesn't have to get involved in that.

Person is doing a great job at the Athletic

I'm going to  say that had CMC been healthy this season, we'd probably have gotten five more wins. We'd probably also be talking about how Bridgewater was able to eat opponents alive with the short passing game thanks to CMC.

We have to remember that the offensive plans for the season centered around utilizing CMC to his full potential. Even though Davis was able to come in and serve as a really good RB1, it still wasn't anything like having CMC back there. CMC is a game changing athlete and requires a ton of defensive resources to keep him under some sort of control.

Teddy's short game was good, but with CMC coming out of the backfield, those eight yard pass plays suddenly turn into 12 yard plays, 15 yarders, 65 yarders... The run game increases to the point where the other team has to bring a safety into the box opening up downfield opportunities. A lot of those three and outs become long, scoring drives.

Yeah, the CMC injuries wrecked the season for us.
