Another big potential milestone Cam can reach this year

[RelaxImaPro]

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

Pshhhhh he is going to get that from the 2 falcons game easy

350 on Sunday

Another 300 after that

200 at least for giants and bucs

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.

I like this thinking, what does Brady have, 4 Lombardis?
