F’ing David Newton

I mean, MAYBE as our beat reporter he should have known that story, but even as big of a fan of the team as I am, somehow this is the first time I've heard about this.

Newton is absolutely terrible, but I think I have to give him a pass on this one if I didn't even know about it.

I think most people in and out of media who are remotely following the team know the history with XL's parents and there is no excuse.  Kind of what you expect from Newton but its still cringe.

 

I didn’t remember it myself and would have to look it up. But he is supposed to be a pro. Not sure he is a graduate of any journalism school, not gonna bother looking. He should be better regardless, agree.

Have you watched mainstream media? They editorialize nowadays, they don’t impartially report anymore. 
I was a Journalism minor in school, the traditional role has been scuttled. They don’t teach that anymore as far as I can tell. 

No, I don't.  

Regardless of the strategy or direction current media goes, doesn't change the fact that literally every question asked in that video was dumb and not interesting. 

And saw your post earlier about your parents, blessings to you remembering them and enjoying the game on your mom's anniversary this Sunday!

He literally wrote an entire article about XL last year and mentioned his father passing away

I have been in touch with the Panthers and have also reached out to Xavier Legette to apologize for my question Thursday regarding his late father’s Cowboys fandom. There is no excuse for my forgetting a hard moment in X’s life. I have nothing but respect for Xavier. It was an innocent mistake on my part, but a hurtful one, and I hope he will accept my apology

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.

Thank you man.
I haven’t watched a game live this season. But I live a short block from three bars and am going to deal with Cowboys fans but with maybe we’ll piss them off 

And yeah the whole ESPN on air bunch, they can keep them and Newton too.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
