The quality of Newton's reporting matches the quality of our starting QB. I'm surprised to see Bryce Young supporters in this thread (you know who you are) and others are calling for Newton's firing while defending Bryce Young to the hilt. It's nothing if not ironic.

David Newton never won a heisman in journalism.

he has done it for a long long time, who is to say he isnt good?

Let’s see this week he asked Evero the same question about DB pass rushing 3 times in a row in which Evero had to directly tell him “I feel like I’ve answered this question.” Then he posted our RG Moton will miss this game. Now he asked a player if his dead dad will be cheering for the Cowboys. This is all just in one week.

again, I am not his employer, I dont follow his stuff or read any of it including social media, but he has been employed long enough where someone thinks he is doing a good job, not disagreeing he isnt an moron but I am not calling for anyones job for being a moron when it really doesnt affect me

Journalist report team info to the fans and the fans are the ones calling for his job. They have every right to do so. His employer can make their decisions accordingly. I’ve been in the work force for long enough to know longevity doesn’t always equal good performance. I’m not sure where that is coming from.

Sure.  Then why is he still employed? Hes been on our beat for 20 years almost.

That’s what the fans are wondering openly now. Why is he still employed? I could care less how long he has been doing it. Why is this such a struggle with you? Are fans not allowed to be upset with a bad product? I mean that’s your whole persona here on the Huddle.

Sure man.  Im not upset.  There are other people to follow.   Continuing to read his stuff and get upset is pretty much on you at this point he's not a good reporter as we know obviously but I'm not signing a stupid internet poll to get him fired.  Pretty useless all things considered.  Again someone at espn likes his work

lol. You call for Bryce to get fired every day.

As much as he annoys me I have some level of pitty for him.

There was nothing malicious or intentional. It was just awkward and very unfortunate.

David Newton wrote an article about how XL lost both his parents; he deserves all the smoke coming his way. He may have forgotten, but he 100 percent knew at one point. We deserve better, and if any of us were as bad at our jobs as he is at his, we would have been fired long ago.

Jesus, what a mess... Does David Newton have dementia as bad as Jerry Jones does or something?

Maybe we haven't been paying him the last 10 years... That's all I can hope for
