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

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
