PFT hypes Newton

[Mr. Scot]

Newton sets rookie rushing TD record

If he continues on this pace, Newton would finish the season with 14 rushing touchdowns. To put that in perspective, 14 is the most rushing touchdowns Walter Payton ever had in a season. And he was pretty good.

Newton also has a chance to lead the league in rushing touchdowns this season; only Adrian Peterson with 11 and LeSean McCoy with 10 are ahead of him right now.

Former Patriot Steve Grogan has the single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, with 12 in 1976. Just last year, NFL.com listed Grogan’s record as one of the five NFL records least likely to be broken. But that was before Cam Newton arrived in the NFL. Newton might just be a couple games away from breaking it.

For the record, this was written by Michael David Smith, not Mike Florio, so Florio haters can continue :D

he'll pass ADP pretty soon. pretty safe to say since he's got a high ankle sprain now.

i don't think he'll have a problem catching up to mccoy, either.

With this defense he needs to get 3-4 rushing TD's per game to stand a chance of winning.

florio has been unusually positive (for him) in regards to the panthers this season.

It seems Florio's hate is for Steve Smith individually moreso than the Panthers as a whole. He usually just mocks the Panthers with little smartass comments because we are/have been/will be the laughingstock of the league for some time now.

I saw this earlier today... but was too busy to post.

Cam's stats are pretty impressive.

[Razeyfingers]

Its always in his favor to seek the popular opinion and play to it. Thats what he does for a living. Sort of like a perpetual brown noser. . its an interesting dynamic that I never care to discuss again over this puke in my bathroom sink.

In fairness, Smith isn't exactly Dale Carnegie :sosp:

If he wasn't a Panther, pretty good chance a lot of us wouldn't like him much either.

But hey, being a fan of a team involves it's fair share of hypocrisy sometimes :lol:

That's typical of most sports though, and WR specifically too. Everybody outside of Cincy hated Chad Johnson, everybody outside of Minny hated Randy Moss, and everybody outside of SF hate TO. That's the way of the world I suppose.

I wonder how Walter Payton's team did when he scored all those TD's. The other two guys (three if you include Newton) have losing season this year despite their performances. Just goes to show one player can't make the difference.

I hope he does get the record though he deserves it.

one player can make the difference if you are a solid team top to bottom.

one player can't make the difference when the other phases are poo

I think that a lot of us have lost sight of the fact that his kid is still a rookie. That is SCARY. We need Beason and some more talent at LB and CB and this team will be on the rise.

This statement is somewhat hypocritical. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?

One player can make the difference if the other players play well?

lol

Like I said, one player can't do it.
