Could not agree more.

Interesting tidbit on Tepper, and this may have changed.....but he used to kind of brag about not owning a private jet.  He had a NetJets account but was positioned as a "regular guy" billionaire who raised his kids in the same suburban jersey home for 25 years....

....that said, if they put Cam on a commercial flight that required a plane change in Chicago it raises a whole new list of questions.

1.  WTF are the Panthers thinking from a PR perspective?!?

2.  Is it really on the Panthers? 

Might the team and the doctors agree that Cam is already 100% and Cam is insisting on a 2nd opinion and set this up on his own?

This one just gets more bizarre and weird by the day....

 

 

 

The transportation issue was a question I threw out on Twitter earlier. I was thinking the same damn thing this morning. And I’m not trying to point fingers at the team, but it would seem to be a better option to fly him in privately.

our medical staff seems totally Incompetent. From Rushing back Olsen multiple times to no avail to rushing D williams back and causing him a career altering injury. They gotta go. Sorry RV.

Manhertz blocking Dlaw after a dead ball whistle is why Williams got injured again. Just an unfortunate situation for a guy trying to get back in a contract year

We've been to the Super bowl twice in recent history in a "small" market.

Market size is irrelevant in the NFL. Look at the Packers & Saints.

We’ve been to more Super Bowls than New Orleans.

Why would Cam be allowed to jump on a flight to San. Fran if his foot is still bothering him? Hmm 

 

I swear

Why are people blaming Rivera and the staff for this? 

Cam straight-up admitted in his YouTube video that he had lied to the team about the extent of the foot injury so he could keep playing. If the team x-rays him, it comes back negative, and Cam says he's good to go....how the hell are they supposed to know his foot is still a problem? This would be very tough for the Panthers medical staff to see coming, much less Ron freaking Rivera. 

I don't blame Cam for lying about it because I'm sure it's not the first time he's lied about his injuries so he could keep playing. It's just an unfortunate situation all around. I love blaming people to make people angry on here, you know that, but even *I* am having a hard time figuring out why someone on the Panthers should be blamed for this.

Would you say the same about a concussion if there wasn't a protocol? It's not the players responsibility to self-diagnose and you should assume they'll do exactly what Cam did. They're all to blame but the coach and medical staff get the larger share because they're the authorities making the decisions.

He really needs to stop smoking cigars at least while he is rehabbing. Smoking greatly inhibits the healing process. Have to wonder if that could be a factor in this.

yeah if cam isn't returning we should absolutely roll with grier. he may not be any better than allen but you need to have an idea before the off season

I think we role with Allen unless he starts losing alot as he could get better as the season goes and the game slows down for him. Seeing both in pre season Grier was at the time, at least, too far behind in basic stuff. He couldn't go through his progressions at all, and definitely couldnt read a defense or blitz.

Anderson should have been the first doctor seen, not the last

we are talking a hundred million $$ QB1 here

it doesn't matter, he should not have been out there week one after being CARTED OFF in TC.

Welcome to the Allen-Grier show.  It should be interesting.  
 

Such a shame for Cam.  I was looking forward to him coming back healthy.

If you peel apart Josina’s tweet, and that’s what we are left with at this point, here’s what I take away from it:

*Cam Newton was seen in Chicago.

*The source spotted him on a plane. 

*No mention of a boot.

*No mention of him walking through the airport.
