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

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.

Agreed that they must be confident if they are pushing for him to be back at practice 6-days from today. 

That said, seems odd that 6-days ago his foot would be put in jeopardy by flying on an airliner and watching a game from the sidelines...

...but 6-days from now the foot will be 100% ready to absorb all the rigors of preparing to start in an NFL game?

How much you charging the guy to live in that dome of yours 

[TheRumGone]

You literally went on a 50 post conspiracy theory about Cam at the airport...

he was going to his brothers baby shower. If this is trolling you are putting in too much effort

[AceBoogie]

Cam will play when he wants to play again. I can’t say this enough. The team didn’t pull him. He pulled himself. When he feel like he’s ready to go then he’ll play.

you've also said you read that between the lines.  that's not a source

i honestly think shelter got the info from a rappaport report where he said nothing and made some speculation.   so its shelter reporting on pure speculation from a guy who will say anything to try and 'break' a story.   that's what i think, but i like the soap opera-ness of this so i'll leave a little room for leaks from cams camp - but that doesn't really sound right.     when did cam get or need a 'camp'?

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.

Perfect time to bring back QB with almost no camp or practice against one of the top defenses in the league?  I want whatever you smoke.

There's only one opportunity during the regular season where a QB returning from injury can have two weeks to prepare as the starter and that is directly following the bye week. The opponent is irrelevant. He'll have almost no camp no matter when he returns. The only statement of relevance you made was practice and for that, go back and reference the first sentence of this reply

Nine times out of ten, "league source" translates to somebody's agent.

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.

Why do you still believe anything that Ron says during one of his press conferences?

The team has the week off this week.

I certainly take everything he says with a grain of salt.

Question, do you believe Cam will be back at practice and fully participating next Monday?

Cam is not practicing yet so no... he won’t have two weeks of practice and opponent is extremely relevant.  Cam is rusty as hell, first game back and you want him to start against basically the best D in NFL?  Talking about throwing a lamb to the wolfs, destroying his confidence and giving Allen supporters even more ammo. Dumb.

ok that presser was a little weird where cam was concerned.  even featured a rivera putting his hand on his heart to demonstrate a sincerity moment, or something.   just weird.   didn't sound like he'd be practicing next week at all.
