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.

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.

      Bryce Young is a problem — what would you do if you were Dan Morgan?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I've been torn up all week about this. And I'm going to be honest, you and I don't know poo about what is going on with the team. Are they losing the locker room? Not seeing anything from the players about that, just seeing it on forums like this. Are they concerned? Yeah, I'd think that would be a reasonable assumption. Are they rallying around Bryce? Yeah, that I'm seeing from the stuff we see of the players. Is some of it a bit drummed up, quite possibly. Is some of it genuine care and belief in their teammate, yeah most definitely. What is Morgan going to do? Hell, that was just week 1. And week one is often a liar. Once in a while it tells the truth (and that sure was an ugly one to tell last Sunday). Most often, it's just what it is. Half the teams that played in week one lost. Straight down the middle. Sometimes it was a close game, sometimes it was a blowout. We got punched in the face, had our lunch money stolen and Jacksonville kissed our girlfriend.  Me, I saw a team that wasn't up to speed yet. We were playing like this was the fourth pre-season game like we used to have. We're going to learn a lot about Bryce, this team, our coaching and team management after this week's game. It's against the Cardinals, a team that has always been one of those benchmarks for it. Beat them and good things happen (remember that killer game Julius Peppers had against them), lose and it often starts the fast slide to the bottom again (sadly, that playoff game with Jake...). Right now, the Cardinals have their Bryce Young, except their guy still has a better PR department. They have a meh-ish defense. They have a star WR that is underperforming and was possibly over-drafted. They don't have many stars to speak of and dwell around 3rd-4th place in their division on a regular basis. In other words, they are pretty much on par with us. And they are a forgotten team as well, playing games in obscurity. So, yeah, we're going to learn the tale of the season this weekend. And honestly, if we lose like we just did or worse, and I was Dan Morgan, I'd be working on polishing up that resume`.

      Keeping it real about Bryce Young. Listen to those who actually watched film.

      Lol I don’t understand why everyone is liking that post and quoting it, it’s from last season. Did I miss something?

      At this point, I don't want anymore fools gold from Young. He either needs to be in the MVP conversation  (lol) or I want to get blown out every game until he is off the team. Our front office just isn't bright enough to handle anything in between.
