Excellent article from SB Nation (I know, right?).

Ask Cam Newton what is acceptable and what is excessive in on-field celebratory acts and he might as well grab a crayon and start scribbling all over the lines. Newton says the boundaries should be loose. He says he plays quarterback, plays football with kid-like energy. It is more than a comfort zone for him -- it is a necessity.

Don't like it? Then stop him, he says.

Here is what the Panthers have learned: If you want the best of Cam Newton, you had better take all of Cam Newton. Meet him where he is -- the NFL's most unorthodox franchise quarterback -- and ride the wave of his arrogance, showmanship, confidence, talent, intelligence, spirit and energy.

It can take you to elite places.

Carolina plays Washington at home next week. The Panthers are rolling toward the NFC South title. They are driving toward NFC home-field advantage in the playoffs. But there is no escaping the elephant in the room, Rivera says. In the manner that they have embraced Newton, in building off his early flaws and troubled start to a record of perfection, the Panthers plan to dab onward.

One of the important things I got out of the interview is how this team feeds off of Cam. He brings confidence to this team. He is the soul of the team. Cam needs to continue what he's doing. His teammates and a majority of the fans have his back, and that's all that matters.

This is how you always gauge a player's actions.  How his team responds to him.  Literally everyone in that locker room has his back.  This is his team, and his teammates love him.  Bannergate, they flocked to his defense.  Luke dressed as Cam for Halloween.  They show up to his charity events.  They get excited to give away the TD balls.  And they all say positive things about him.  When other players come at him, his staff isn't having it.  So if they are cool with it... so am I, and every Panther's fan should be as well.

Jonathan Jones also had a top-notch article...

But perhaps unwittingly, Newton is introducing a culture foreign to a good portion of Charlotte. Historically, there’s resistance when that has happened. Sometimes it’s followed by acceptance.

Some people are mad at Newton, and I can assure you he does not care.

Monday morning across Charlotte, people were doing the dab and hittin’ dem folks, but only after they tried it in private Sunday night.

    • Yeah... One bad game for Bryce meaning he's not a pro and should be replaced, after a strong finish to last season is a little premature. But the clock has started for sure. If anything, we've seen that he needs to do something to have a better start to the season. That is not sustainable.  Truth. The team ain't ready. The defense ain't ready. Derrick Brown didn't even look good. Just because you throw a lot of resources into a position group doesn't mean you've magically fixed it. And saying the team is using resources to make a specific QB look serviceable is insane to me. If they're using draft picks at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. If they're using free agency to get good players at a position, it means they didn't have good players at that position. It IS NOT to make the QB look serviceable. It's to make the TEAM look serviceable. Football isn't a sport where money necessarily fixes the problem either. I remember the Panthers spent a lot of money on the brother of another olineman, and that was a complete disaster. Paid a lot of money to a HC that was fired half way through his first season and no other team hired him, even though there has been unusually high HC turnover in the NFL. Throwing high draft picks at a position doesn't mean you fixed the problem either. Remember Kelvin Benjamin and Funchess with Cam? Mingo, Marshall... I think after week 4 we'll have a better idea of what we have. This is an extremely young and new group of receivers. The only receiver out there that had ever caught a pass from BY last Sunday was XL. And he wasn't exactly in prime form. I guess if you want to count J. Sanders and Tremble, then... Ok.     
    • Bryce sucks, but he has been throwing it downfield somewhat consistently over the last year.  12th in ADOT in Week 1, last year he was 5th/27th among QBs with at least 50% of their teams dropbacks (only Herbert, Love, Darnold, and Lamar Jackson were ahead).  He was 2nd in Big Time Throw % too. Last week he had 4 20+ yard throws (0 completions) and 9 10-19 yards.  Compare that to say, Jared Goff, who was in a similar spot last week as far as needing his team to rally and score - he only had 1 throw of 20+ yards and 6 10-19 yards. So Bryce is definitely a poor downfield thrower, but he has been a willing one, especially since returning from his benching.  
    • We are in the craper and will be until this team has more talent and better coaching. They have a long way to go.
