A pretty cool stat that Newton is going to own this season as well...

Newton just broke Delhomme's franchise record for TDs, well he's not very far behind Deangelo's franchise record rushing TDs either. I think that record is 46 TDs. 

Not sure if a player has ever owned both rushing and receiving records for a franchise before. You could say this is because our franchise is so young or because we've never had a truly great RB, and I think it's a valid point. Still, Newton is probably going to finish his career in the same TD territory as many great RBs. Probably around Priest Holmes or Edgerrin James territory. 

By the time Newton finishes his career, the rushing TD franchise record might be his for a long time.

By the time Cam is done he will likely have enough rushing TD's to where he'd be the franchise leader on more than half the teams in the league.

 

the more interesting one will be if he also ends up as our leading rusher as well.

I'd say yes easily, but I'm guessing within a few years he'll be running a lot less and be more of a roethlisberger type who scrambles around behind the LOS until he can make a pass.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
