Who was Schefter's source?

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.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
