Cam Newton's list of achievements keeps growingEmail

ESPN Stats & Information

Add a bunch more accolades to Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton’s list of accomplishments in 2015.

The Elias Sports Bureau notes that Newton is the first player to have at least 340 passing yards and 100 rushing yards in the same game, and is also the first to have five touchdown passes and 100 rushing yards in the same game. It's the third time this season that he has thrown five touchdown passes, which (with Elias' research) puts him on this notable list.

ESPN Stats & Information

Newton now has five seasons with at least 3,000 passing yards and 500 rushing yards. That’s the most in NFL history.

Newton became the fourth different quarterback to win at least 17 straight regular-season starts in the Super Bowl era. Elias notes that the other three arePeyton Manning (23, 2008-2009 and 17, 2012-2013), Tom Brady (21, 2006-2008 and 18, 2003-2004) and Jim McMahon (22, 1984-1987).

The 100 rushing yards elevated Newton from 16th all-time in rushing yards by a quarterback to 13th, passing Tuffy Leemans, Tobin Rote and Bill Dudley (Rote was the last of those three to be active -- he last played in 1966). The next two quarterbacks in front of Newton, who now has 3,151 rushing yards, are John Elway (3,407) and Donovan McNabb (3,459).

Newton has now thrown 19 touchdowns, rushed for two touchdowns and thrown only one interception in his past six games.

Yeah, it's a done deal after yesterday. Many thought the Giants would beat the Panthers yesterday. Even though the game ending up being close, it really shouldn't have. The defense, who many were giving credit for the undefeated run, allowed a late game push to tie the game with less than 2 minutes left. Cam willed another win, in what should have been another blow out. There is no question now, who is the real catalyst for the undefeated run. Cam is the league MVP. 

And for those clamoring for Brady... what happened when Gronk was hurt for one game? I think the Eagles marched right over them. The Eagles, that just got steam rolled by the Cardinals and Palmer.

The thing for me is, he is doing things historically that have never been seen or done before.  Now, from day one, he has been a revolutionary talent and set records, but the wins and team success typically held him back from consideration.

Combine the mounting individual accomplishments and achievements with the historic team success we are currently enjoying and there is no doubt in my mind, Cam locked up the MVP weeks ago...  yesterday just cemented that in the national scope, or at least it should have.

If Cam doesn't win the MVP, especially at the expense of a previous, but less deserving winner, it should be a crime.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      Joe Person: Ickey is expected to be extended, Mays is someone we want to keep long term, TE, LB and OLB are our biggest needs heading into the offseason

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
