And honestly, I don't know how he didn't get canned for getting caught on the hot mic.  If this was any other market, this would be a national controversy.

I doubt it. Sports media lost its integrity a long time ago. He'll probably get a raise if the hot mic moment boosts his click count.

Kind of sad to be honest. The fact he was caught and still went through with it shows you he gives no fugs.

 

Such a shame he is our most well known reporter.

 

Sheena Quick please save us from David freaking Newton!

David Newton's reporting makes Juan's threads read like Carl Bernstein.

It is hard to take anything he writes seriously.  Newton that is, not Juan.  Although......

I don't recall ever seeing a Panthers preseason team look this unprepared.  I keep telling myself that it is preseason but man they look bad.  I guess we'll see week 1 how the team looks.  

Aside from a few 3rd down miscues (missed blocks, wrong route, etc) it hasn't been THAT bad. It's not like we are turning the ball over a ton or look completely outmatched. Just a few mental errors that can absolutely be cleaned up in time for the regular season but will it happen? We'll see the injuries and seemingly the musical chairs at RG are also concerning. Maybe they expected Corbett to be back by now or maybe it was the plan to have Zavala start their from day one who knows. Hopefully it works out.

Hope he improves over the next few weeks, but it was really really bad giving up 2 big hits on Young on back to back plays to Thibodeaux.

One he just didn't block him at all and passed him off to no one, the very next play he didn't even stick his arms out at all to block him and he just ran around him ending the drive.

David Newton is trash but not gonna lie, Ickey has looked concerning this preseason. Dudes are just blowing right by him practically untouched.

This is my thought as well.  He is a slow starter at least and you can call that whatever you want but he has looked unprepared so far

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
