To those knocking Person, Joe's not the only one reporting it anymore...

 

One guy quoting another is not exactly an independent second source.

That's how "fake news" gets propagated.

He's not quoting him. The little notation at the end is a way a lot of reporters on Twitter say "this guy reported it first".

Pelissero has his own sources.

"...I'm told."

Told by whom?

At this point, this is all rank speculation, fueled by nothing but Joe Person's unsubstantiated assertion.  Retirement, a year's recovery, fire the staff.... all based on smoke.

Yeah, yeah, I know, where there's smoke...

Why don't all you medical experts back off awhile?  Personally, I much preferred the thread Jeremy started earlier, discussing actual plays, you know, blocking, passing, and the like.  But that's just me, I realize.  People gotta air their grievances and biases.

(and this is not directed at you, Mr. Scot, but at the general run of conclusion-jumpers who chime in without a bit of factual information.)

Person actually mentioned having spoken to several sources.

Pelissero, Rapoport, Florio and others have echoed the same. Who their sources are? Nobody knows. But we do know they're usually right.

Might be better to look at it from the other side though.

Let's say this story actually is horse sh-t. You know who I'd expect to be the first ones to come out and say it?

The Panthers.

And to date, they haven't said a word.

I mean all athletes do that when they are passionate about the game and their team, so...

I have certainly done it and I'm sure alot of the posters who have played ball at any level have done it. 

The thing is that his injury, if he downplayed its significance in his ability to play, led directly to our first two losses. The Rams game is 50/50 but the Bucs game, with a healthy QB, we win going away and are sitting at 2-1 right now rather than 1-2. In a season where the NFC North is staring at 3 playoff spots, that one win could cost us the post-season. 

Is it admirable to want to play hurt? Sure. But seeing how Allen played in his last two starts (the Saints defensive starters were playing so people can't downplay his success in that game) makes me believe that we would've been just fine without Cam while he healed up.

Don't tell the New York Times that. 

Good stuff, blue check journo's out for their own reputation these days. Losing credibility by the hour.
