Schefter needs to cross that "source" off his list.

Riverboat's comments in presser today give zero indication of any internal movement towards Cam coming back to practice after the bye.   He makes it clear the Panthers doctors and trainers have given him no new news and no timetable.

Rodrigue asked question at 2:25 mark, Ron tap dances for close to 3 minutes in response.

The best thing about Cam coming back will be watching fake fans like you howl and moan in anguish.

Au contraire. 

I fully support Cam's right to return and never want to see an athlete have their career diminished by injury.  I wish him well.

Did you actually expect Ron to give a definite timetable and make Kyle think he’s going to be pulled soon? 

No, I didn't.  This because I had a strong suspicion that Schefter's information was faulty.

OP is the worst. It's like he doesn't even know the difference between a reporter trying to break news and a coach trying not to say anything valuable

Curious -- where do you think the reporter got his information?

The most interesting thing about this is that it begs the question of who the source of Shefter's report was. It must have come from Cam's camp. I think that would be a good sign unless it points to conflict between the two camps.

Billy Marshall?

There is a very real competitive advantage being ambiguous about our QB situation. Following a bye would be the perfect time to bring Cam back if he's ready giving him two weeks to prepare as the starter. But who knows if he's ready? Best to keep the Niners guessing and put it on them as to which QB they want to focus on preparing to defend.

Agreed on it coming from Cam's camp.

As for it being a good sign -- having hard time envisioning how it could be. 

Interesting tweet from Joe Person here:

I have a feeling Cam thinks he is ready to go and now the team is telling him to slow down.

As such, and in order to push the issue, Cam & Co used Schefter to let the broader public know what Cam is thinking.

Will be interesting to see if any additional non-Panther approved information leaks on the topic....or, if Cam himself comments directly through another vlog or instagram, etc...

You seriously need to get some fresh air.

Here is how it can be positive:

Very early on in this process I had heard references in early articles that Cam's camp would be in favor of Cam shutting it down unless REALLY healthy given his contract status. If this is coming from his camp, it means that they believe he is healthy enough to have a season that will benefit him in a future contract negotiation; whereas, his play while injured was having the opposite effect.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Jake, to me, will always hold a special place in my heart.  I really feel like for his era, he deserved way more love than he got, and should’ve had more than his one Pro Bowl.  He was a gamer with an underrated rocket arm. but let me tell you, after his Tommy John surgery, when he came back, I can’t remember who it was against, but it think it was a division game, he threw a ball that was supposed to be a throw away, as I think he was under pressure, and that poo floated forever and died right at the boundary where a defender ran over and picked it off.  One of the worst throws I ever saw.  His arm just wasn’t the same after the injury and surgery.  All that to say, that’s what almost every Bryce throw to the sidelines looks like to me.

      And again, when watching him in college he had one distinct trait that I feel makes a franchise QB - on those plays when everything breaks down around him, he creates one on his own.  He doesn’t rely on or need everyone else.  That play last night on the final drive where he was getting sacked and threw it to Diggs before his knee hit the ground?  He does similar things all the time.  Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, etc., they all do it.  It’s what made Cam so special. but we picked a guy that’s the opposite of that.  He desperately needs someone else to make a play for him because he can’t.  Even that play yesterday on 4th down to Horn.  That wasn’t a great pass.  The defender was late and came down to make a play in the ball and Bryce threw it high and outside where Horn had to leave his feet and really use strong hands to catch it.  We relied on a 5’9” rookie playing in his first pro game to make THAT catch at THAT time bc of the early turnovers and a not great throw.  Crazy.
