Rookie rushing TD record

[antame]

Pretty crazy and I like it, just hope that's not his focus.

As our offense develops I would expect fewer rushing and more passing TDs. At some point he should pass Young, and probably while he is still on his rookie contract.

Yeah, I'd guess it won't take long. Cam has to be the surest rushing option ever inside the 5; certainly goal line. Wouldn't mind hearing stat geeks weigh in.

Honestly I'm not so sure about this. Why limit yourself to just one type of play to get into the end zone when you have a guy that can punch it in through a multitude of different plays.

I think we'll see the same thing through out the course of Cam's progression and that's a healthy ratio of passing and rushing touchdowns.

I think that's what he's saying.

28 by LT back in '06 I believe

Holy.

Was that just rushing or combined?

Jesus, 28 is insane...

Edit: Just checked, it was all rushing. Holy hell. No wonder he won MVP that season.

I had LT on my fantasy team that year and saw every game. Dude was unstoppable in the red zone, he just smelled the blood. He even threw a TD.

For the record I would like to see it stop next year. Eventually, people are going to start gunning for him.

Dont get me wrong, i love the TDs, love the broken records, and the hype we get on ESPN...

But I really worry about those failed rushing TDs because some LB puts a God awful hit on him....I just want to have Cam have a healthy, long football career, and big hits negate that.

Here's to hoping he is more durable than Vick. I also cringe at the thought of seeing him getting sacked like Vick has this year.

So you are more worried about a 240 lb linebacker hitting him when Newton can see the guy coming and try and avoid it, versus the hits in the pocket where a 300 lb guy blindsides him as he is defenseless and looking downfield for a receiver?? Newton himself said he was more likely to get hurt in the pocket than he was when he was running with the ball.

Cam rushed twice as much in college so stop worrying. Besides its the blind side hits I worry about more.

Vick is a normal sized man, Cam is a giant sized freak.

Vick is 6 feet tall and 215 lbs. Newton is 6'6" and closer to 250. Newton is very muscled and strong which protects ligaments and bones from getting injured. But I agree that he is more likely to get injured on a sack versus being in open space.

This. I dont care how much muscle or how big you are, you will straight get fuged up on hits like this...

Eh, look around the league and not just QBs but runners whether they are RBs or WRs.

Name the last player you saw trying to dive over people at the goalline that got hurt......then try to name the last QB that got hurt in the pocket. No point worry about Cam running. He is built to take it and is probably safest running....even if they means diving.
