Looks like the Dab is out for this upcoming season. Anyone gonna hazard a guess as to what the next dance will be? Chicken dance, the swim, the grocery cart... he has options. And do you think the next one will be as big of a hit as the Dab was?

I think he should roll with the "Sulk away from the podium and cry" move - he seems to have that one down pat already.

The fact that this is even newsworthy is the problem.

Exactly. I actually heard about on the Sports Radio show I listen to (and then went to ESPN and saw they wrote an article on it) - and that was their point as well. Why in the hell is an NFL QB so concerned with what dances he's going to do in the upcoming season? Doesn't seem like his head is where it should be at.

I believe it's actually called the shopping cart- my bad on that one, I'm not quite the best with my dances. Here's a gif that shows a few different dances. The shopping cart is one, the sprinkler is another solid go-to.

After they way he played last season while celebrating the way he does, I don't at all question where his head is at. The flip-side here that people don't realize is that he is a global superstar, who happens to be the face of a very young, small market franchise. Part of his "role" off the field is to help build this fanbase, and IMO he is the perfect guy to do it. Charlotte is a city FULL of transplants -- career-focused adults who are fans of other teams who have moved to NC. This fanbase is going to be build from the ground-up -- meaning, younger generations growing up idolizing a local star -- like Cam. Why do you think he is doing a Nickelodeon show? Handing out footballs to kids after TD's? Doing his youth charities for kids? He's leading the charge in building this fanbase.

Not everything in life has to be so over-analyzed.

good points Blue...

However, why does freakin' ESPN and others have to over-analyze and EVEN waste our time with this news?

That's a fair point. In short...because it's ESPN.
