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.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
