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.

    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset. 
    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…
