Who was Schefter's source?

Recommended Posts

My initial thought was Cam or someone in his camp leaked info to Schefter that resulted in this tweet:

Now I am beginning to wonder if it was the team?

Did someone with the team leak info to Schefter in an effort to light a fire under Cam?

Listen folks, this is in no way a negative commentary directed at Cam....

....simply an effort to figure out what is really going on --- and it's a REALLY tangled web!

Myself and @ellis are both perplexed as to why the team would allow/make Cam fly up there commercial???  (and by himself no less) 

I can only think of one plausible explanation....

....the team & their doctors are convinced there is nothing wrong with Cam at this point.  In fact, they have felt this way for at least 3 weeks (and probably more) and in moment of pique someone (authorized or otherwise) leaked some info to Schefter in an attempt to manipulate the situation. 

Furthermore, the team is at its wits end on the issue and while they are willing to let Cam travel and get a 3rd opinion they are unwilling to foot (no pun intended) the expenses for doing so (hence commercial travel vs. the Gulfstream one Drew Brees would have undoubtedly been afforded).

I know this take will anger many of you but please tell me this....

....what NFL franchise forces their MVP winning QB to fly a connecting commercial itinerary in excess of 5 hours by himself to Wisconsin in order to see the best foot/ankle Dr. in the world?

EDIT:  Said team has THE single richest owner in the NFL....the jet fuel bill is literally tip money for him.

This is an amazing amount of speculation that requires a ton of assumptions.  You should seriously look into writing for a tabloid.

EDIT:  You're the same guy who took issue with my "How many weeks of rehab does Cam have left?" thread aren't you?  Ranted that I was completely off base about 'Boat's "middle of his rehab" comments if I remember correctly....hahahaha....

Yeah, I was just curious about the transportation piece of all of this. I guess I was just more fascinated by it than anything. I wasn’t trying to draw any conclusions, because I certainly do believe the owner to be a guy who cares. But, some facts will eventually come out about this entire deal, they always do.

Eventually, we will know a lot more. I would just continue to follow some of the local folks.

The owner has $11 billion in cash....well, maybe $9 billion since he wrote the check for the Panthers....

....and he's gonna Uber his $20 million QB out to CLT Douglas International Airport for a 5hr+ connecting commercial flight to Green Bay?!?

Doesn't seem very caring to me....

Seems clear to me that we were trying to handle this injury in a fashion that would both A) avoid surgery and B) allow Cam to return this season. It also seems clear to me that plan isn't working.

Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the medical team is surprised with how Cam has handled rehab. Cam is a different cat. Then again, the way our medical staff has handled rehab/recovery processes in the past is questionable at very best.

I just hope that Cam will listen to the specialist and do what is best for his future. If that means surgery and IR, so be it.

That would run completely counter to EVERYTHING Riverboat Ron has said from the git-go...

...if he said it once -- he said it 1400 times -- "Cam is doing everything we ask of him"....

....was 'Boat being disingenuous?

PS...I think your position has merit.

I dont think Ron is in a position to say anything else...what is he going to do rip QB1 randomly in front of the media. in the real world thats piss poor management.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
