Schefter Per ESPN Insider: Sources Say Carolina Goes Cam

To be fair Gantt and Sorensen have seen saying it for ages.

While Reed and Person say otherwise and Yasinskas bounces back and forth. It's all speculation. None of them has a clue.

What makes Schefter look dumb though is saying this right after Rivera makes a public statement that the decision isn't made yet and won't be until the week of the draft.

Meanwhile, on radio Marty Hurney explains that the pro days have just ended and so the scouting department will only now begin getting together to hash out the draft board.

So the decision's not made, the group that will hash out the decision hasn't met yet, it's all being run by a GM who prefers to have every last shred of info in place before making a decision, but Schefter thinks he can predict now which way the team is leaning, and for that, people pay extra.

Oy :nonod:

In the article Schefter does indicate that he was leaning Gabbert until "what he heard today" (whatever the F that means) and now he thinks Cam is the guy...

and in other news, my boner is official... not in a homo way... in an "excited about the future of our team" sort of way.

yes he had to have heard something credible to get off the media fest of blaine gabbert.. it's the same thing that happened with gantt, before the super bowl newton was in the 0% chance of being drafted by us in his eyes..then the more he hears and sees it becomes Newton being the top choice. Clayton used to believe we loved Jimmy but then changed his tune as well but also picked Cam as our top choice.

At the very least it makes you wonder. The guys with "sources" are usually having us go with Cam but the Mock Drafters pick Gabbert(Steve Reed's post the other day was largely saying support was dwindling for Cam in Mock Drafts not with Panthers FO).

      Meh… I wish there was a network that has all sports.  This thing will fail.

      If you could add one player from any team in the NFL to the 2025 Panthers to make them Super Bowl contenders, who would it be?

      Neither Barkley nor even a healthy CMC would move the needle much for us. Those are guys that impact teams that already have impressive overall offenses and defenses, so they can perform the complimentary roles that make them actually valuable. We should know that specifically because CMC almost never moved the needle on bad Panthers team after bad Panthers team. Ask Giants fans about that with Saquon.

      I would generally disagree. You see a lot more load management than previously but that is because being healthy in the playoffs is such a key factor. Different philosophies in that regard than previous generations.  Baseball really doesn't matter until at least halfway through the season. I am not gonna say they don't play hard but the physical demands are infinitesimal in the MLB in comparison to basically any other major pro sport.  People dislike all the shooting these days but that's a direct correlation with how much the overall skill level of the average NBA player has drastically risen over the past 15ish years. There are other aggravating factors, certainly, but that is the biggest one in terms of playing style differences. So many of the guys from the 80's and 90's wouldn't even be able to play in the modern NBA at all. The biggest problem the NBA has with the American market(they are the only US sport that has any real international appeal or interest, minus the NHL) is that they are so steadily corrupt and fix the systems against the small market teams. Well, you eventually lose a big chunk of the league viewership/potential viewership in the process. Take the very obviously fixed NBA draft lotteries. Superstar and upper tier star players rarely want to play for small market teams, nor can they usually afford to pay them. So how do you expect them to possibly compete in that environment?
