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.

    • Not looking good for TB. Buffalo and Habs fans are the worst so I will be cheering for the meteor. 
    • Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?
    • Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
