I noticed in this video on NFL.com Ladanian Tomlinson says Cam Newton joins hall of Famers Ladanian Tomlinson, Marcus Allen, Walter Payton, and Paul Hornung as  the only 5 players in NFL history to pass for at least 5 TDs and rush for 50 TDs. And just tack on the fact that Cam is a QB who has  thrown for  141 TD and rushed for 50 . Cam Newton has accounted for 191 Touchdowns through 6.25 NFL seasons.  

Compiled some other stats listed below. Cam is basically on pace to finish in the top 20 in pretty much every major stats catagory and probably #1 all time in QB rush yards and TDs. 

* Keep in mind when I say in parentheses (on pace for) this is only assuming he plays for 7 more years . * 

- #1 in QB rushing TDs 

- #5 all time in QB rush yards (#7 John Elway 3407 , #6  Steve McNair 3590 , #5 Cam Newton 3656 , #4 Fran Tarkenton 3674  ,#3 Mike Vick 3954, #2 Steve Young 4239 , #1 Randall Cunningham 4928 ) (Current  QBs with high rush yards : Russell Wilson 2827 , Aaron Rodgers 2595 )

But according to alot of talking heads around the league last year and this year, Cam Newton is "declining" and is just "an average QB if you take away his running"

I thought it was gonna be he is the only QB that is 2-0 versus Brady.

#1 QB in cool hat and sunglasses combos

[ncsu12engr]

Through 7 years Dan Marino had 205 total TD's. Cam just needs 15 more TD's in 12 games to surpass that. 

[Cary Kollins]

Cam's 50 rushing touchdowns are the second most behind Marshawn Lynch's 52.

Cam has more rushing touchdowns in his career than Warrick Dunn, Jonathan Stewart, Jamaal Charles and Demarco Murray.

    I would like to add 2 more. 

 

    Cam Newton is the ONLY player to run, and pass, for 50 TDs.

 

    Cam Newton has 16 games with at least 2 passing TDs, 1 rushing TD, and 0 Turn Overs. Next in line? Russel Wilson, and some other dude, with 8.

 

    Barring some catastrophic incident. We are watching a future HOFer. Who did it with flare and panache.

Now on the QB rushing yards, if they counted lateral yards, Fran Tarkenton would have had a six digit number. Never seen a guy that could cover 145 yards for a six yard gain.

He said the longer he scrambled, the more the defensive guys tried to kill him. Often he was literally running for his life out there.

6'5" and 250 makes a big difference in being a mobile QB. 

Cam is just now coming into his own. The next three years should be legendary.
