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

lol

Eh, sure. Why not?

Yeah, caught that. Not a fan of that song.

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 think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
