Cam is now in the Top 10 all-time for rushing TDs for a player that only played for 1 team

Tied for 10th anyway. Kind of an odd list, but it's:

1. Walter Payton 110

2. Jim Brown 106

3. Barry Sanders 99

4. Leroy Kelly 74

5. Steve Van Buren 69

6. Lenny Moore 63

7. Terrell Davis 60

8. Mike Alstott 58

9. Tiki Barber 55

10t. Emerson Boozer 52

10t. Cam Newton 52

 

He's tied with 3 other players for 66th all-time period, 7th among active players. Where do you think he'll end up?

This is insane.

What's more insane is even after all this some people still aren't sold.

Seriously?

Probably because of his inconsistency in passing . If someone's trying to debate you on his rushing prowess, then they shouldn't be winning THAT argument. 

Especially this season , Cam still has more INTs than TDs, and his ratio and completion percentage were ass last year too. Yes theres a number of factors that go into why that happened, but in reality Cam will continue to be ripped by pretty much everyone as inconsistent or average at passing until he proves otherwise. He stepped it up against New England and Detroit, but has since regressed again in accuracy. Which just further proves the naysayers points.

If someone is still a naysayer this many years in, they always were, and they always will be.

Agreed his accuracy has left something to be desired, but last year he looked superb and was in MVP form early. The headshots took a toll by the midway point, and we know about the shoulder.

This season the lack of run game early has really hampered the offense. If we can sustain that Cam is accurate enough for us to beat just about anyone.

Right now Cam has 3907 total rushing yards, and is only 48 rushing yards away from passing Mike Vick in QB rush yard leaders for #3 spot in all time QB rush yards. Steve Young is #2 with 4309 and Randall Cunningham is #1 with 4928 . I think Cam should get up to about 4200 rushing yards by the end of this season, and he should be pushing 5000 rushing yards by the time his 9th (Age 30) season is over. Which is mind boggling for a quarterback.  

He's already beaten the record for most QB rush TDs with his current 52 rush TDs.  I'm guessing his career is about halfway done by the end of this year his 7th season. I dont think its meaningful to look at all time rushing stats, his rushing is going to massively drop off by the time he hits 32 or 33 or maybe even earlier, its just human body and what I'm guessing is he's going to transition into being a more accurate and efficient passer that just scrambles more often than your average QB.  

So if Cam plays for about 14 years (basically through his age 36 season) , I'd predict him to have about 6000 rushing yards and around 80 rushing TDs.

That is a very odd list, and somewhat misleading.  Taking Emmitt Smith as an example, he played for the Cowgals for 13 years and had a 154 td's for them, then played for Arizona for a couple of mostly meaningless seasons.  If Cam plays 14 years for us, then goes to some other team to finish his career for a year, he drops from this list.  

 

But Cam has been a good qb for us, no doubt about it. Needs to finish his career with a Couple of Rings.

    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
    • If Canales has helped Bryce a “poo ton” and this is what we have then what’s the fuging point? And the offense wasn’t humming with Dalton in there either, except against the raiders who’ll likely be firing their coach after this season.  XL is probably the fourth best looking receiving option on the team right now behind thielen, Coker, and sanders. I don’t think anyone would disagree with that. Who cares about total receiving yards when everyone else has missed time and there’s like 180 yards of receiving a game to go around   and lmao they were “believing” shut the fug up. They lost and for the most part those games were all the defense shutting down the other team. The chiefs turned around and gave up an actual impressive stat line to Aiden O’Connell and I not even the most delusional raiders fans think that means anything. Bryce did nothing against the eagles, the Bucs are a mash unit, and any one of us could have done that Bryce did against the giants and saints.  And as far as who they’d get, they didn’t have any trouble hiring the guy you’re tripping over yourself to defend. They also could have hired Dan Quinn, who’s actually succeeding with a young qb.  And people are acting like the risk of getting paid for not working for five years is a negative. Canales is going to spend the next half a decade getting paid to watch porn in his Bible camp office.
    • the Dallas game definitely quelled the hype. his biggest issue will always be his size, and that shows when he gets sacked. he's simply not big or strong enough to protect the ball. even in the KC game, he fumbled it on a basic sack and thank god icky landed on it. INT's are going to happen, most fans don't understand that tipped balls and wrong routes account for most interceptions. but the wet-bar-of-soap type fumbles upon contact are a huge reg flag. the common theme with players like Darnold and Mayfield who previously played for us and are now excelling makes me want to practice patience more when it comes to the QB position. I think Bryce bought himself another season, perhaps with more weapons. I do like the idea of adding a QB whether that's a FA or mid round rookie. if the same mistakes occur next season and we see no further growth or most importantly, wins, then it will be time to move on. just a quick reminder though, football is not an individual sport. QB is just one position, albeit the most important.
