Every question asked was stupid or common sense.

"do you like run blocking" (no dummy, but it's my job),

"how would it feel to be 3-0 at home" (ummm better than 2-1),

"can you use Diggs aggression against him" (ummmm like in what way, like put a banana peel on the field, hope he doesn't see it and slips on it?).

And then obviously Newton's lack of knowledge XL's father passing. 

Hard to believe there are journalism schools out there, and this is what they produce. 

I'm pretty sure it's 90% because he went to Wofford lol, not really known as a top journalism school but was probably good enough for Jerry to get an alumni a job.

It wasn’t exactly like he got a top job in journalism. I mean, they are sportswriters.  He is more like the redneck Ray Barone than Woodward and Bernstein.

Oh I know, I'm just replying to the person who assumed he went to "journalism school" lol. He can barely spell/form a proper sentence vocally or on paper but here we are over a decade in with this guy...

Pretty insane that the beat reporter for the Carolina Panthers didn’t know that XL’s parents both died while he was in HS. That’s a horrific fact about XL’s life that has been brought to the public’s attention countless times during the pre-draft process, post-draft process and so on. We have to have the worst beat reporters in the NFL.

In that clip the ladies obviously picked up on it and at least took him out of that awkward situation to move the focus onto some things more jovial since Newton ruined the whole thing from the start.

Not sure what's worse, a beat writer not having any idea about it or a beat writer having actually written about it and then completely forgetting. I wouldn't be surprised if he's using ChatGPT to generate most of the crap he writes.

I'm going to give him a pass. It wasn't a prepared question, XL mentioned his dad being a cowboys fan and Newton just threw back a follow up question. Should he have remembered yeah but its not like he prepared the question. It's like someone mentioning their parent and your immediate response is oh yeah how's your dad doing?

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Mel Kiper said he would retire if Jimmy Clausen wasn't a successful NFL starter too. Just because the experts make a claim doesnt mean it's true either.  Bryce may be a serviceable QB for someone. Serviceable QBs don't bring you a perennial winner or lead you to the playoffs over and over. Serviceable QBs also dont get 50m plus per year deals which is what a Bryce extension would look like.  The stats show he hasn't been even a serviceable QB in the 3 years he's been here. The eye test shows he hasn't put together 2 franchise QB salary games back to back in 3 years.  Complain all you want about people being negative, but people pointing out that Bryce is held to a different standard than anyone else on the team isn't complaining. It's stating the obvious.

      We have big bodied WRs and 3 TEs who all have potential and each bring something different to the table. I never saw the need to go out there and try and find a new starting TE.  While it's nice to have a guy like McBride, Bowers, etc, I think a team's better use of the cap is by having TEs on rookie contracts or cheap vets, not having to pay elite TE money.
