Huddle Panther Fan Challenge 2016!

With Cam Newton announcing last month that he is retiring the Dab, what dance will he replace it with this year? According to the article in the link below, he hasn't told even his family yet and is saying everyone must wait until September to see it.

So I am challenging you young, hip Huddlers to guess what dance he is going to do in this upcoming season. 

The rules are as follows;

-You must embed the YT video of said dance, because I'm not clicking on whacky links to view it. 

-No edited posts count.

-No ties. If two people show same dance then first one posted gets it. 

-If he ends up doing a whole bunch of different dances, I'm going with the first verified one after a touchdown scored (not first down or something else), and only one person will win.

-No tomfoolery. If you try some sneaky poo to win a stupid prize then you suck and are getting a brief ban instead. 

-In the event of some unforeseen event causing confusion on winner, I'll leave it up to the Huddle to revisit this thread and determine winner by democratic process, in which each Mod counts for a certain number of Electoral College votes because true democracy is dead. Or Zod decides winner to make it easy.

Grand Prize

I haven't decided yet. It'll either be a couple of months of all-pro access paid by me, or maybe I'll send you a 22oz. bomber of some California craft beer, or maybe it'll be some piece of Panthers memorabilia or collectible. Either way I'll make good on it. But you don't need to pay for entry into this contest so don't worry about it Francis.

Think of all the outraged moms this year when Cam does this one lol

Wait man. I just saw that no edited posts count!!!! Fug, I had to repost because it messed up the first time. Does that mean I'm out?

We still got months so you are good. And that dance is the poo.

    • What's up gents, the OGs remember me, the guy who single-handedly gave the Panthers the greatest uniform in history moniker. Not too long after that I got involved with Pro Football Focus (pre-Collinsworth acquisition) and ended up taking backseat here to preserve some objectivity. But from a distance I noticed a lot. After the end of the Cam era this place devolved into the most un-fun, petty, negative cesspool of whining and bitching that has ever graced the internet. The worst part of it all is that the level of discussion turned into the most ill-informed, hot-take, unnuanced crap, rife with people talking out of their posteriors as if they have any clue about what they are watching. Once you get into the professional side of the sport and actual film rooms, you start to understand there's an absurd number of moving parts to pretty much every snap and the details you are privy to are truly only half the picture. The absolute most important thing I learned from being part of professional level football analysis is that quarterbacking is literally the most intricate and difficult position in all of professional sports, and that the NFL itself is struggling to develop any workable model that allows them to understand what makes one succeed vs what makes one fail. Because of this paradox it has also made the quarterback position itself grossly overvalued from a fan and media standpoint, creating an absurd fixation on the results delivered by a single player who has to rely on the contributions of everyone around them. This also drives the dreaded inflation of QB salaries that inevitably cause even elite teams to lose key talent all to pour cash into the one player supposed to be able to single-handedly elevate the entire team (and defense and special teams and coaching and ownership by some mysterious proxy), yet without those same players even talented teams can wander the wilderness searching for the right guy to take advantage of their talent window. The discussions the last few years around Bryce has personified this insanity, as this board has devolved into some sort of electronic civil war between the hyperbolic Young supporters and the vitriolic Bryce haters. The reality, like practically everything in this world, is somewhere in the middle. He has traits that can absolutely elevate a team with creativity, play recognition, off-arm angle throws, mental toughness, etc. He's also physically limited, with mostly "good-enough" qualities for most situations that a professional quarterback is asked to do, and will never be an overpowering physical force like pre-injury Cam. But "good-enough" physicality represents a large majority of championship-winning quarterbacks, even in the modern era. There's a reason the corpse of Peyton Manning took the chip from elite physical specimen Cam, because the team surrounding him was talented enough to get him there, while we all know Cam was the driving force of that 2015 team. That's no knock on him, that's just how the game of football tends to work: the more complete team usually wins. The summary is this: if this team lives or dies solely on the performance of its quarterback, then it is absolutely a paper tiger even if he plays brilliantly week in and out. There are no superheroes in this sport, there are only conduits that proxy the collective efforts of much of the team around them. And no one alive can tell you how the position is played perfectly, it's all a confluence of circumstance and what unique collection of traits each player brings to the position, which can never be truly recreated season after season, even for the same player on the same team. If this place remains a raging hellscape of idiotic hot takes I will happily remove myself again and do something more productive for yet another decade, but maybe's there hope that we can all get back to the old adage, and keep pounding.
