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.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      If it’s all the same to you guys, I’d like to use this thread for Tuesday nights game as well to keep this hate going. I have a feeling Tuesday vs the panthers is going to be violent in that arena.    @LinvilleGorgecan you please add “and Tuesday” to the game thread?  They play the Panthers again Tuesday. Thank you sir!

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By frankw · Posted

      Nobody on the huddle is saying we have an elite group offensively across the board. They aren't great. They're young. If you are expecting someone to agree with your position of blaming everyone around Bryce Young nearly three full seasons into his career you are going to be left holding the bag save for a handful of people who act like they are paid to defend his honor. Bryce Young is not a guy who has had to claw and fight his way into starting jobs in football. He's had the best to work with and been gifted roles since he was a teenager. The Panthers have one of the youngest rosters in the league and with us needing an infusion of young defensive talent in the upcoming draft we're only going to get younger. We need a QB who possesses the ability to elevate those around him. If you can't agree with me on that then there's nothing further to discuss.

      All Bryce and the Panthers had to do was split with the Saints and a rookie QB. The bar was so low. They even had a whole bye week to prepare. The time for singing kumbaya was before that game. Anyone still talking about Bryce earning a second contract 43 games into his career is living a fantasy. He might get one from the Tepper owned Panthers but he's damn sure not earned it.
