Today, ESPN.com welcomes David Newton as its Carolina Panthers reporter.

Newton joined ESPN.com in December of 2006 as the lead motorsports writer for its NASCAR coverage. Prior to that he spent 11 seasons covering the Carolina Panthers and NFL for The State newspaper in Columbia, S.C., where he won national and state writing awards. He also has covered Southeastern Conference and Atlantic Coast Conference football and basketball.

 

It would seem that none of the other teams in our division got a personal reporter. It also says he has covered us in the past for another publication. Does anyone know why we now have two reporters and what this means? Will he essentially be competing with Joe Person as our beat writer?

Person works for the Observer, not ESPN.

I know, what I'm asking is if he will be competing with him for info since his job is the panthers now.

not competition. person asks player/coach a question, gets ignored. asks again a few minutes later, becomes recipient of an eye roll before being ignored again. hears the answer to a question made by @jjones9 (the other beat reporter employed by the observor) or some other guy that isn't perceived by the team to be a moron and then spins it and slaps it on twitter so he can get his precious retweet. the rest of the time he's following his "sources" (ie: twitter feeds from reporters around the league) and then retweeting what he saw.

 

so....will the espn guy be competing with that? i sure hope he's not trying to do that.

 

competing with jones and yas and bill voth and steve reed and sorenson....maybe. person is no competition.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      The same folks crying about the OL right now were crying about it in 2023 too. We have tied up over 100 million dollars in two interior olinemen alone. We've invested multiple first and second round picks in the offense. We hired an offensive minded head coach. This is an offensive team. The offense needs to produce or people need to be replaced.

      This is the same place that has ridiculed and blasted Caleb Williams at every opportunity he has his team sitting at 10-4 in the same NFC that the Panthers are competing in. And their division in the NFC North is as or more competitive as our division. Yet from the same people who have very high standards for Williams we get every excuse imaginable for the smallest starting QB in the league even when he and his team continue to disappoint when the pressure is on. You lot aren't any less inconsistent than anyone else.

      The Panthers are 9th in cap spent on offense this year.  However next season is already a different story  The Panthers as it stands right now will be 18th in cap spent on offense and 8th in cap spent on defense  The Panthers are currently set to spend more on defense next year than they are on offense this season Guys like Jaycee and Moehrig cap numbers take a big jump. Wharton has a massive cap hit   Jaycee Moehrig and Wharton in 2025 The same 3 in 2026 So this same defense as it stands right now will cost more in 2026 than this offense does right now… Got anything else you want to try?
