What’s he supposed to say?

”We’ll see...”?

I mean to be fair, we tend to want to believe in the credibility of things we want to hear and discredit things we don’t, it’s human nature. I also like hearing this news even if I’m still worried about Cam’s health going forward, because it implies that from what they know he’s on board and recovering well.

But ask yourself this, what are the chances Rhule would have said anything that even implied they were going to part ways with Cam? There’s zero upside to him for saying anything of this sort, so we should probably take the statement with a little salt. What I do like, if the report is accurate, is that Rhule could easily have said something more noncommittal than “We plan to win a SB with him.” but didn’t. To me that’s a good sign.

“Okay but what does Rhule know? My source who’s met someone from Cam’s circle once told me that Cam was gone”

He could very easily have said this. The fact he didn’t implies to me that the team is at least leaning towards trying to keep him, which is good news if true.

And once again, if Cam is healthy, you roll forward with him rather than roll the dice with a draft pick. It's a no brainer.

Cam is a phenom. You keep him until he can't answer the bell anymore.

That's more in line with what we've heard for the last month.

The draft picks carolina gets by trading him will help them win a superbowl.  : )

The media would have played that one up, big time. He made the wiser of the two comments but either way it shouldn’t be viewed as the end all.

From who?

If true, then this would indicate one possibility to me (not necessarily the case, but seems likely).

Rhule and the Panthers want Cam to play his final year and see what they have with the offense as a whole. If it works out, Rhule has 6 more seasons with Cam. If it doesn't, the plan changes and we go in a different direction. IF this is exactly what he said...it's either extreme confidence as a coach in what he has on the team at this point, or it's throwing the ball in Cam's court on a decision on whether he wants to play out his final year as it is in his contract.

Tepper. "Cam's future is going to largely be up to how good he feels,"
