PUSSY OUT! Like a boss......
kruph1x
Correct use of meme, relevant subject, fast turn around time. A+
ClHartsock
NFL MVP should've tried to recover his own fumble! It was a one possession game at that point.
BossPickinini
Dab on that
clint23185
no no no do not mix sports and d&d youll break the friggin universe..... funny....but its not worth breaking the whole damn universe
nickjrisjustforme
Cam made a business decision. thats all
Q269
It looks like he was trying to avoid snapping his left kneecap. You can see it pop right before he uses his other foot to push off
whoisturdferguson
In a split second decision he decided that his legs were more important. It was a subconscious move that shows he is not a team player.
6colorbracelet
So we're still doing this then?
ChingueMami
This just shows that Cam Newton didn't want to win Superbowl.
WieldsMjolnir
Cam looks like he pressed juke instead of dive on Madden.
TheNovaflyer
I think he realized that if he dove, he'd be on the bottom of a pile. Not the best place for a QB
photonblaster
Still got in the pile
rubbarz
He is 6'5 250 and its the superbowl. Fuck that and dive for the ball.
roboricky
Legit belly laugh
copingcabana
Not a Cam supporter, but I think he was trying not to knock his own lineman (67) off of it
Shaft67
Always down vote these stupid dice memes.

ImReallyJustHereToReadTheComments
Wrong person for that picture. Manning literally did nothing. He didn't have to do anything. His defense won the game.
Daddio81
Should have been Von instead of PFM but good meme none the less!
repostforupvotes
Unpopular opinion: he predicted the ball would pop out and it did. He just didn't quite adjust correctly.
TheLastSouthernGentleman
That's my opinion but people will find a reason to hate on cam. If he'd read the bounce and picked up that ball in open field he's a genius
DeeLahnCee
I agree, but it really does look like if he had just dived straight in he could've grabbed the ball and secured it.
AFineDayForScience
I think the ball was at his feet so he wouldve had to bend over to get a good angle and took a step back to get a chance at the deflection
NotFarEnough
He wouldn't have secured it though--it always happens to fumbles, a player dives towards the ball, can't secure it, and it bounces away
JasonForge
I actually believe that was his intention. He just failed. Also, go Manning.
SuperToughPinkPuff
I would also like to suggest that by that point, cam was really tired of getting hit. He was visibly in pain at the end of the 1st half.
incubabe
I came to Imgur today for the football memes. +1
bpbpbpbp
TheUnapologeticCanadian
I think he just misjudged the ball, had some awkward momentum (remember, he is huge), and then had to get out of the way.
thefrozoneOne
He was getting whooped the whole game. Just imagine dropping back and having 4 defensive linemen on you already
LannistersSendTheirRetards
That's not an excuse. He was down two scores and should've known how important getting that ball back was.
Newthoenikker
Word.
MikeMilli
Though I agree his future could've ended right there at the bottom of the pile
LannistersSendTheirRetards
It's the most important game he may ever be in. I'd have no faith in my quarterback if he's so selfish as to cower when we need him
TheLastSouthernGentleman
Thankfully cam isn't a coward. He doesn't shy away from contact. It's just not what he does. There's an explanation for what he did
SeanTabasco
welcome to the NFL
Newthoenikker
Yea, mvp shouldn't be scurred of taking a hit...
TheLastSouthernGentleman
Cam is the last QB that's scared to take a hit though. If you think he is you're an idiot
TheLastSouthernGentleman
He played with two fractured vertebrae last year, trucked defenders all year and now he's apparently a coward for not diving on a fumble
SeanTabasco
In the GOD DAMN SUPER BOWL
bigeasy44
What are y'all talking about? If y'all saw Peyton do the same thing no one would bat an eyelash. He's the qb. He's worth more to the team
bigeasy44
Healthy than getting hurt for one play with an obvious high number of defense players with the potential to hurt him
mulligylan
It was at a pivotal point in what may be his most important game though
bigeasy44
Put Peyton in the same spot. Would everyone be criticizing him for not jumping under a dog pile?
asotzen
I literally snorted water out of my nose.
asotzen
D&D mixed with football? We really have progressed as a society.
blazeit419point999fgt
This was beautiful.
jmacmac
One of the most genuinely mystifying decisions in Super Bowl history
121AAD
did he throw the game on purpose?
SilverSound
I can remember when Brees jumped on a fumble similar to this and got his throwing arm shredded.
UncleSnax
Me too. But then again Cam is twice the size of Drew.
WhatDoYouMeanBeerIsntFood
Insert paranoia fueled conspiracy involving the mob.
leperkhaun
I dont think it is. he saw Ware going after the ball and got scared.
DeltaLaw
I think the defensive pressure got to his head and he hesitated. Definitely regretted it immediately
TheGum25
Like Kirk Cousins taking a knee instead of spiking it.
RossCampbell155
He's a pussy, that's why
helpusdrzaius
I think he's just young, made a young man's mistake.
NotFarEnough
I think he was anticipating the ball bouncing somewhere else-you know how players always dive towards a fumble and it bounces away?
INeedAboutTreeFitty
Which it ended up doing
justanotheroneofthosegenericlongusernames
I think he just thought Demarcus Ware was gonna put his hand on it and pull it in
emjei
I'd bet he was worried about going helmet to helmet there
damien309
Or Ware's helmet to his knee/leg.
JumpTheCheeseburger
You apparently didn't see the deciding play in last years SB.
Lobuttomize
A young, first draft pick, Super Bowl QB diving into the bottom of a fumble pile is a pretty bad move for a franchise
Tamaska
Genuine question: What was he suppose to do? (I know nothing about football)
guminski
Not be a total vagina and try to pick up his fumble the one time it counts
ostensiblycool
It was a fumble (he dropped the ball, it is still live) so jumping on it would retain possession for his team.
Pokemon4Lyfe
Jump on top of it to recover it
ChangedMyName
I still think that was a good decision, it was just better defense.
IAmThePermabannedAccountOfMyNameIsMrTorgue
Except last year's "Let's run it in!" from the Sea Hawks
WhenitD0
As a hawks fan it still hurts.
Kaydiddilybro
SAME :(
aerodynamit3
nah, he just got scared. thats all. he'd been hit more in this game than any other in his career. he was just scared.
TheLastSouthernGentleman
Cam is a lot of things. Scared of contact is not one of them. Idk what he was thinking though
aerodynamit3
the defense got in his head. he turned into a deer caught in the headlights of a truck (Von miller/demarcus ware)
TheLastSouthernGentleman
Cam actually made a lot of great plays. Not enough but he didn't have much help. Too many drops and awful blocking
RihannaPublicist
Truth. He got demolished this game. I wanted the broncos to win but by the end I just wanted the game to be over. His body/pride was gone.

NO DON'T HURT MY SOUL LIKE THIS IT'S STILL TOO SOON
areallycreativeusername
As a pats fan it hurt me to watch it too, I was cheering, but the empathy hurt
NicBurnsRed
I'm not good with football. What am I missing that was a weird decision by the Seahawks?
guminski
Many other situations exactly like this the other team obviously knew he'd run, and he did anyway, it still worked cause Beast Mode
guminski
Passing instead of giving to Marshawn Lynch, one of the best running backs around. 2 downs left, 100% would have got in almost guaranteed
DevilInTheDetails
Blahhh. Really not the worst decision. Just needed to not run a familiar play in that situation
lincolnfalcon
Or just not throw the ball. Beast Mode doesn't guarantee a gain, but risk an interception?
DevilInTheDetails
But if you know that defenses are gonna be protecting the run then you split receivers out and quick strike in the middle. Butler did good.

That reaction was the best part of that game
LawFiveGuy
Cam Newton (n): MVP that crumbles under pressure. Fig Newton (n): Golden flaky ooey gooey pastry that crumbles under pressure. Fig FTW
TheLastSouthernGentleman
Cam didn't play that bad though. His Oline stayed in Charlotte with his receivers hands. He had some misses but he was carrying the team
AdmiralButtStuff
I think he decided getting crushed on the bottom of that pile was a bad idea, but man hindsight.
legalimmigrant
Regular season perhaps, not super bowl me thinks.
AdmiralButtStuff
Yeah, that was definitely not the time to err on the side of caution.
NotFarEnough
His shoulder looked like it had been bothering him, might've been a factor. Also he could've been anticipating the ball to bounce elsewhere
itsbohtime
I agree, it wasn't the deciding point of the game. Def a smart move. People forget how different the pads are. He could have been wrecked
AdmiralButtStuff
Either one. You could tell as soon as he did it that he realized it was a bad decision.
ostensiblycool
His face after confirmed his instant regret of not jumping on that ball.
AdmiralButtStuff
You could see it on his face. I felt bad for him but the Broncos' D just did a better job at shutting him down than the Panthers with Peyton
YewWilbyYewWilby
Granted, they may have been a bit more conservative, playing with the lead and all
ostensiblycool
The Panthers had way to easy of a lineup for the season to predict what it would be like to play Denver. That D is legit.
ostensiblycool
Too*
AdmiralButtStuff
I read an article today that mentioned that. Denver came into it feeling like nobody felt they were a good team and they clearly were.
YewWilbyYewWilby
I don't know. The Broncos' two touchdown required a combined 4 yards of offense. The Panthers D smothered Peyton just as well as the Broncs1
AdmiralButtStuff
Yeah that's true.
ostensiblycool
Fair enough.
