Cam Gives A Detailed Video Update About Why He is Sidelined (Friday Sept 27th)

I get a lot of people here don't like Rivera.

But can we please stop with the idea Ron Rivera forced Cam to play? It's very clear that Cam doesn't want to play unless hs is literally incapable of playing, and now he's said it's basically to the point that he hid injuries. That's on Cam, and that attitude of not wanting to let the team down is big in football. I love Cam and I hope he rests and gets healthy, and this is a big thing for him to do.

I appreciate the transparency...but I hate that he didn’t learn a lesson from last season and continued to trot himself onto the field for the first two games knowing that him being under Center was hurting this team.  I hope he heals and can get back to being the old Cam.  But I also hope that Allen plays so well that Rivera is forced to make an uncomfortable decision when that time comes.

Any player is going to want to play. It's up to Ron to sit the player when they clearly aren't healthy.

Sure that’s valid. Ron was way too late sitting him last year but it’s also hard when someone you’ve been close to for 8+ years is lying to you and saying that everything is fine because you want to believe him.

Man, I'm gonna miss this guy when he's really gone. We're really lucky to get to have Cam as our QB and to have seen his career unfold. He's insanely talented and he's a character and he's a real dude-- plenty of teams can find talented guys who can be robots off the field. I always appreciate seeing someone show emotion and go off script to be real instead and connect with the fans.

From the pouting and being pissed in the early years to dancing and dabbing on everyone to the sobering reality checks of his injuries. It's been a special trip to see.

    • We won't know the answer to this for a long time. Reality is, Caleb has been the consensus #1 in that draft for years. Bryce was a similar situation, but mostly the same. He was not the clear and obvious #1 that Caleb was, but most teams had Bryce at QB1. The Panthers were always going to be terrible Bryce's rookie year.  I don't think DJ Moore's presence would have changed anything about that offense, as our guards, center, and left tackle were getting demolished on nearly every snap. It's clear Caleb's dad was trying to do everything possible to ensure Caleb didn't end up in Chicago with Eberflus. It's hard to imagine that he wouldn't have done the same, but probably more publicly with our situation, considering Carolina is an easier target for the media than Chicago. We can all speculate, but it's impossible to tell who is going to have the better career on May 16, 2025. If either QB doesn't pan out, we have an easy answer. If both flame out, the bears clearly won the trade, but it wouldn't have really mattered anyway. We all know how we win the trade. Candidly, even if one of the other picks we gave up ends up being a hall of fame player, we don't know if the panthers would have taken that player anyway. All you can do is make the best decision you can in the moment with the information you have. I really like Bryce Young, and I'm glad he's a Carolina Panther.  The only way to win in the modern NFL is to have an absolute dude at QB. I personally am happy that our franchise recognizes this, as I remember times when they did not.
