“No, he won’t make the trip. Medically, it’s the best thing to keep him from being on an airplane for eight hours and standing up all the time,” Rivera said. “Kyle’s our starter and we’ll continue that way.

From the OP's article. Note 8 hour flight.

Not sure where pressurized or whateverness matters.

I know some of you must find reasons to poo on Cam in all situations, but this is an odd one to pick.

(i)  Then you didn't read the post.  The post clearly said the 1-hour flight was "non-pressurized". 

(ii)  The fact I was pointing out is jet-travel on commercial airline flights is on pressurized aircraft....never even mentioned Cam in any way.

You're overly sensitive.

 

    We get it. You have a pathological need to feel superior. You win mate. I have 2 brothers in law who are like that. I can take the loss. I am not going to die in shame.

Pressurized matters because it is placing pressure on an injured part of the body. Not ideal.

Yet it's 100% factual. 

You can't handle the truth son.

lol im not arguing the fuging pressurized cabin poo man. jesus christ.

You are trying to create a narrative based on absolutely nothing........

Yes, that is how pressurized cabins work. Good job man.

How about providing facts to the staff feeling a sort of way about Cam. And I mean provide something more than "dId yOu sEe how RoN lookEd"

I know a lot of people like you. You fixate on being right, about something completely unrelated to the argument, because you font have anything to validate your claim of the core argument.

 

Honestly man, sit back and take a look at yourself. I understand you think you can pony your weak poo on here because this board is having a stupid SJW vs "whys everything have to be about race"   argument in every thread. 

Of which, both sides make asses out of themselves.

You dont even fall into the coverage of either of those sides, you just say stupid poo.

Get some perspective, think outside of your Cam hate boner.

I've flown all over the world.....

.....never once was I required to "stand up all the time" :shades:

Look, let's all be honest with each other here -- this "can't fly" nonsense is pablum of the highest order.  The other huge ladle of pablum was "he's staying in Charlotte to do his rehab"...LOL.

The guy is flying, and he ain't in Charlotte doing his rehab.

Funny how folks want to label ol' Rowboat as dishonest and incompetent when it comes to playing Cam when he shouldn't have bee playing --- and simultaneously saying the Rower only speaks the truth as it relates to Cam not traveling with the team....hahahaha.

Here's the bottom line, Cam is estranged from this team at this point in time --- that's a fact.

Will be interesting to see if he can rectify the situation....

False.

Pressurized means the interior of the aircraft is normalized to mimic what a person would be subject to at sea level....it is done to create a safe and comfortable environment for passengers & the crew.

I can't believe how many of you are slurping down this "can't fly" pablum being server up by ol' Rowboat.

or

1. i could have read it after it was edited.

2. The fact you are even pretending that your response to me was completely about how I responded to an edited quote, to which my point stands either way, when it is DIRECTLY THE POINT OF HEALING AN INJURY.

You are overly dense.

 

I can see already, the weak ass retreat to comments. Calling someone sensitive, when you have nothing else to say, doesnt absolve you of the stupid poo you say.

I cant believe how you pretended that the facts you posed, had any ties to the argument at hand, yet you keep on this unsupported narrative that Ron and co are tired of Cam, and are deliberately keeping him away.

No quote, no evidence, no reasoning. Just your narrative. All the complete definition of something not being true.

Did you even read the article linked?

I didn't think I needed to edit the quote. He is referring to Cam travelling with the team and attending the game.  The key part of the quote is the doctors didn't want Cam on an 8 hour flight.

What makes you think his rehab can't be done wherever it is he went?

I have never called Rivera dishonest.  Incompetent is strong.  I do not think, and have never thought, he was being disingenuous about Cam.

You are desperate for a particular narrative. It is odd to call someone estranged that is apparently working his ass off to get back, and constantly helping his fellow quarterback prepare for games.  Does not sound like he is estranged at all.

    I made 2 mistakes. Not proof reading. And then editing. Should have just let it lie. If I only knew then, right?

    • Wow, didn't catch that!  I don't think Chuba's a power back either but he's usually good at getting that 1 or 2 yards. That was an uncharacteristic day for him.
    • The referee assigned to this game is Shawn Smith. This is a critical data point for betting purposes because his crew has one of the most distinct, long-term statistical biases in the NFL. "Road Team" Bias: Historically, Shawn Smith is known as the "Road Team Referee." In a league where home teams usually win ~55% of the time, home teams in Smith's games have historically won at a rate far below league average (often hovering around 40-42%). Against The Spread (ATS): The trend is even starker here. Home teams have covered the spread at a rate of roughly 37-40% in his career. The Mechanism: Analysis shows his crew tends to call a higher rate of False Start and Unnecessary Roughness penalties on the Home Team. This negates the traditional home-field advantage (crowd noise causing false starts for the visitors). Impact on This Game: This specific assignment heavily favors the Buccaneers (Road Team). If you believe the referee influences the game, Smith's presence suggests the Panthers will struggle to get "home cooking" calls and may face untimely procedural flags that stall drives. The Panthers have only had Shawn Smith officiate four home games since he became a head referee in 2018, and they are all losses. Date Opponent Result Score Nov 24, 2024 vs. Kansas City Chiefs Loss 27–30 Oct 9, 2022 vs. San Francisco 49ers Loss 15–37 Dec 12, 2021 vs. Atlanta Falcons Loss 21–29 Nov 25, 2018 vs. Seattle Seahawks Loss 27–30   Considering the how rare it is for Shawn Smith to officiate a Panthers game at all, this seems like an odd time to assign him to a Panthers game, unless the NFL wants to kill the Panthers season once and for all.  The Panthers' offensive line situation creates a "perfect storm" for referee Shawn Smith's specific tendency to call False Starts on the home team. The "Carousel" Factor (Communication Vulnerability) The most damning stat for the Panthers' offensive line in 2025 is their lack of continuity. The Stat: By Week 13, the Panthers had already fielded their 10th different offensive line combination. The Impact: False starts are often "communication penalties"—they happen when a guard doesn't hear the center's snap count or a tackle anticipates the wrong cadence. A unit that hasn't played together struggles with non-verbal communication. The Shawn Smith Multiplier: Shawn Smith’s crew calls False Starts at a high rate on home teams. He will likely look for flinches on the exterior of the line. A disjointed line that is constantly rotating players (due to the injuries of starters like Cade Mays and the illness issues with Robert Hunt earlier this season) is "fresh meat" for this specific referee bias. The Specific Culprits (2025 Penalties) Ikem Ekwonu (LT): Leads the team with 4 False Start penalties this season. He is the most frequent violator on the line. Taylor Moton (RT): Has been flagged for 3 False Starts. The Trap: Smith’s crew often focuses on the tackles (the players furthest from the ball) jumping early to get an edge on speed rushers. Since Ekwonu struggles with this discipline naturally, having a referee who hunts for it is a massive disadvantage. The "Managed Outcome" Synthesis The "Bucs Cover" Script: If the desired outcome is a Buccaneers win to solidify their playoff standing, the officials simply have to apply the letter of the law. Calling strict False Starts on a confused, banged-up Panthers O-line will consistently put them in "3rd and Long" situations, killing their drives and allowing the Bucs (-3.5) to cover easily. The "Close Game" Script: If the desired outcome is "Week 18 Drama" (keeping the division tied), look for the officials to ignore the Panthers' twitchy tackles. If Ekwonu jumps a split-second early and no flag is thrown, it effectively neutralizes the Bucs' pass rush, allowing the Panthers to keep the score close. Summary of the Edge Vulnerability: Extreme. The Panthers are playing backup interior linemen (like Jake Curhan or practice squad call-ups) next to jumpy tackles. Betting Implication: This strongly reinforces the Bucs -3 or -3.5 play. The combination of a "Road Team Referee" and a "Home Team O-Line in chaos" suggests the Panthers will beat themselves with procedural penalties. Based on the collision of the hard data (Referee bias + Offensive Line injuries) and the soft narratives ("Managed Outcomes"), here is the definitive recommendation. If you have to place a single Moneyline bet to win this game straight up: The Pick: Tampa Bay Buccaneers (-165) While the "Entertainment Script" hints at a Panthers upset to keep the division messy, the structural disadvantage the Panthers face in this specific matchup is too massive to ignore. Here is why the Buccaneers are the stong moneyline play: 1. The "Shawn Smith" Road-Field Advantage This is the decisive factor. In the NFL, Home Field Advantage usually accounts for about 1.5 to 2 points of value. The Reality: Referee Shawn Smith negates that advantage entirely. His crew calls penalties in a way that historically suppresses home crowd momentum (False Starts, holding). The Result: You are essentially getting the Buccaneers on a neutral field (or even a "pseudo-home" field) against a team with a worse roster. 2. The "Drive-Killer" Synergy To win as an underdog, the Panthers need to play a clean, mistake-free game to keep drives alive. The combination of Panthers' 10th O-Line combo + Jump-prone Tackles (Ekwonu) + A Referee who hunts False Starts is a recipe for disaster. The Scenario: Expect the Panthers to face multiple "1st and 15" or "3rd and 12" situations due to procedural flags. These drive-killers will force them to punt or settle for field goals, while the Bucs' offense (led by Mayfield) stays on schedule. 3. The "TV Product" Counter-Argument You asked about the "Managed Outcome." While a Panthers win creates "chaos," the NFL also values Star Power in the playoffs. Baker Mayfield and the Buccaneers are a proven national TV draw with recent playoff history. If the league has to choose between "Chaos" (Panthers) and "Ratings/Legitimacy" (Bucs), the "Script" likely leans toward ensuring the Buccaneers—the more marketable team—secure the division lead. They won't "fix" the game against the Panthers, but they won't intervene to save them from their own penalties. Final Verdict Betting on the Panthers requires you to hope for a miracle 4th-quarter collapse. Betting on the Buccaneers requires you to trust that a superior roster—aided by a favorable officiating crew—will control the game for the first 45 minutes. Take the Buccaneers Moneyline. The "Safe" money is on the Ref. The Prediction: Tampa Bay Buccaneers Win and Cover Projected Score: Buccaneers 27, Panthers 17 The Bet: Buccaneers -3 (or Moneyline -165) Confidence Level: High on the Winner; Moderate on the Spread (due to potential "garbage time" variance).
