The dab is dead until further notice.
There would be no dabbing on this night for Cam Newton -- the biggest night of his NFL career, a night when the Panthers superstar was attempting to complete one of the greatest seasons a quarterback has ever delivered.
As it does for every team that loses the Super Bowl, the end came in an almost violent abruptness.
Broncos 24, Panthers 10 in Super Bowl 50 Sunday night at Levi's Stadium sucked the life from every one of the Carolina players, but none more than Newton, who'd been so brilliant all season.
Newton, who threw 35 touchdown passes and rushed for 10 more in the regular season, finished the game 16-of-38 for 245 yards, an interception and two lost fumbles that led to 15 Denver points.
When it ends for the Super Bowl loser, the finality of it all is something that players who've experienced it have a difficult time describing. Some even contend they'd rather not have gotten to the game at all if they were not going to win it.
So just like that Sunday night, blue and orange confetti rained down on the field and Newton and the Panthers, who entered the game with a remarkable 18-1 record, were quickly ushered off the field to make way for the winners' celebration ceremony.

I really liked him til he seemed to play the race card last week
We will find out who he is in his adversity. I personally believe he will not do well but I really have no clue. He is a good athlete. He played a fine game. He lost. Move on.
Pride cometh before the fall.......
His offensive line didn’t help him very much.
The article says 18-1, it should read 17-2. {;^)
I’m glad the pompous buffoon lost.
Glad to see the Old Man win it tonight.
It was shocking to see him rolling on the ground in agony on the sideline.
He’s young, and still a bit stupid, but he’s a good player and will do just fine in the coming years. I hope to see him dominate some games.
He was terrible at the after game press conference.
In fact, he walked out.
When I watched the replay of him deliberately turning his back on a dropped ball in the 4th quarter and scurrying to safety I thought I had never seen such a blatant act of cowardice.
Cam No win Newwton - what a D-bag. His after game interview was horrible. No class - he failed his teammates, again.
As an absolute fan of TB…whatever
NFL had this pegged and played from the get go.
This was PM’s year.
Disgusting, Vegas owns football now.
I hope Roger falls off of a yacht this summer
I’m sure Bath House was rooting for Carolina. Too bad, so sad for purple lips.
Risk losing a franchise player? Or maybe ... retain a slim (at best) chance at the Super Bowl?
I saw that. We all hate to lose but don’t just collapse. Remain stoic and with dignity on a bad day.
Cam's o-line is a very good one, and gave him all the time in the world to throw all year. They just finally ran into a superior D tonight.
When I watched the replay of him deliberately turning his back on a dropped ball in the 4th quarter and scurrying to safety I thought I had never seen such a blatant act of cowardice.

That play will now define him.

After manning’s 4th quarter fumble, I could hear him singing softly “Referees are on my side...”
