Another big potential milestone Cam can reach this year

Haven't heard this mentioned much, if at all... but Cam has the chance to pass Peyton Manning for #1 all time in yards for a QB through their first 5 seasons this year.  He moved into 2nd place a month or so ago, passing up both Matt Ryan and Dan Marino.

He's currently 904 yards off from Manning with 4 games to go... he would need to average right over 226 YPG the rest of the season to get it, which is very do-able.

Peyton Manning 5 seasons: 21,174

Cam Newton 5 seasons (so far): 20,270

If Cam hadn't missed those 2 games last year he'd without a doubt get it

I've been tracking this since Cam passed Marino & Ryan to get into 2nd place on this list.  Earlier in the season, I hadn't thought it would be possible he'd get ahead of Peyton, but the games against Washington and the Saints have really brought this within reach.  I so hope he'll do this, along with breaking Steve Young's record for most games with passing & rushing TDs.

I assume that this stat only includes regular season games, not postseason?  Because obviously, you throw in two playoff games and a Superbowl, and Cam owns this stat BIG TIME.

Hmmmm... that gets me thinking.  Here's something that would be an interesting stat to look up:  How many QBs won their division / took their teams to the playoffs in 3 of their 1st 5 seasons?  Anyone know where to find that info?

So, Cam is 195 yards away from this mark with 2 games left.  Pretty safe to say he's got this one in the bag unless he just barely plays at all the next 2 games for whatever reason.

Cam can fall forward every play for the next two games and get that.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
