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).

      Rookie season being key to uour argument. I didn't at all mislead about the talent Cam had to work with. Kalil was a great center. Olsen was a great TE. Our WRs were probably the worst in the league. Cam still won MVP, we went 15-1, and we went to the SB. Your attempt to bring up Cam to defend Bryce is desperate and clownish. Bryce has more talent to work with and has done WAY less.

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
