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.

      Gameday Thread Steelers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Steelers fans will take over the Stadium and city   It will be unbearable  worse for me, on the west coast, resigned to the nfl network and you know it will be a steelers broadcast team.    It was ungodly bad with sheduer 2 weeks ago  Last game, tried listening  on panthers radio and  watching  on espn live last week but the delay between the 2 drove me nuts  so as bad as they were playing, found something else to do

      I mean I don't have a personal axe to grind with any human on the Panthers roster.  I know AT shouldn't be dominating the slot. The fact he is....is because we have a horrific front office/management.   I can part with any player.   The goal is a winning team.   the root of the AT ranting, is really just looking out for BY (people like to call me BY hater though).  A QB who was basically screwed from day 1 when we got drafted here.  I went hard at Carolina then too for setting him up to fail. Because it was obvious from the jump the setup was failure by design.  Which was true.   I said Frank bad zero sense with BY.  Miles Sandes made double zero sense.  The players they got in FA made zero sense.     Either you build a BY O.....or you move on from BY.  I have said I am cool either way.  We are in no man's land and have been there since they day we drafted him.

      It's the QB school guy mentality. Thielen is a shitty #1 option so aaarrrrggghhhh FUUUUUUUUUG HIM!!! This dude SUCKS!!! Yeah, Thielen should no longer be a #1 option at this stage in his career. He honestly shouldn't be a starter at this point in his career. But it's not an Adam Thielen issue that we've had to ask him to do that.
