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.
