Rivera is not the GM, Hurney was

There was a report Hurney had to override Rivera on draft night, as Rivera wanted to chose a defensive player and believed Newton to be a flash in the pan

 

I’m not contesting that, but I don’t remember ever hearing that. I’ve never gotten the sense from RR that he was ever not 100% with Cam. 
 

I understand him wanting one of the other guys, I did too. Since they announced Cam as they pick I’ve been unwavering in my support for Cam.

Probably between Cam saying he's ready and the staff saying nah not yet.

Now that makes sense

[Harbingers]

I mean. Jesus, do we have to have 10 threads on this daily? And 10 opinion pieces by the media? It’s what 10 days until we play again? 

Let it go. The only people that know anything for sure is Cam, Ron, Hurney Tepper and the team doctors. Obviously none of them will speak to it besides “When he’s 100% healthy”. Then I’m sure will have at least a week of “When he’s got the feel back and is comfortable”.

It wasn't even about Ron or Marty. JR said they were picking a QB #1 overall, period. Even if Ron and Marty both wanted say Von Miller, JR had already planted his flag and said we're taking a QB.

Besides Rivera benching Cam for not wearing a tie, and saying he deserved to get concussions and would have taken shots at his head, he's also found an opportunity to throw Cam under the bus on a dozen of press conferences I can remember, instead of taking blame himself.

There might be some cultural issues at play

Clearly a Troll who signed up in past week to stir up poo with this bullshit.

quick...get Darren Gantt's take on Person's insinuation.  Wait, nevermind.  Gantt's a tool.

The stuff people throw around on here boggles the mind. Like how could someone be so stupid.

you just can’t make this up

Ironic because he has literally made that up!

Definitely interesting. Tug of war possibilities:

1. Cam and his people vs. the coaching staff (if Cam thinks he’s back to 100% and Ron wants to drag it out to avoid the tough decision and keep playing Kyle)

2. Tepper vs. coaching staff (Ron wants to go back to Cam, Tepper wants to see what he has for the future and doesn’t trust Cam’s health)

3. (unlikely) Hurney vs. Ron (could be possible as someone else suggested that Hurney wants Cam and Ron wants Allen but I don’t think that Hurney has any real say in the matter so this is unlikely and Ron would go with who he wants)

4. Kyle vs. Cam (meaning by their play on the field, or the risk/reward between them. If Cam starts practicing and is “100%” but doesn’t look amazing in practice while Kyle keeps up has play, that’s a lot different than Cam coming into practice dropping dimes)

I think the most likely is number 1 to be honest.

That's because it didn't happen.

Rivera was happy with Newton being the choice from day one.

Cam wants to come back possibly before he is actually ready because he has a lot of  future contract money at stake.  If he doesn't come back this year he is probably gone from the Panthers squad and will be pedaling previously damaged goods to a team who thinks they can fit him into their run heavy/errratic passing offensive system.  And if Allen continues to be a much cheaper option that keeps winning there would be no reason to give Cam a new contract.  Cam would probably be much more at ease about taking his time to heal if Allen wans't 4-0.

Cam would never be released outright, so regardless he’ll get his $20M or whatever it is next year. And he’ll likely be playing either here or somewhere else so he’d have plenty of time to prove himself for his next contract. I don’t get the sense he’s trying to rush back again.

It will be fascinating to watch this unfold. Hopefully that unfolding will ultimately lead to more Panthers wins - now and in the future.

I wouldn't say "never".

If he doesn't show he can get back to health, there's a loooooot of cap savings to be had next season and very little dead money.

Granted, I would onsider it highly unlikely, but not impossible.

Report from whom?  Some guy on the Internet?  

There are hundreds of reports about these type of things, the vast majority are made up crap.
