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.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By Icege · Posted

      "If only Bryce were <height>", he'd <insert stupid thing here>" was the bit and in direct response to multiple posters ridiculously blaming Bryce (and only Bryce) for the punt returns vs. New England. :3 I understand that folks desire balance, hence the "Bryce stans vs. Bryce haters" narrative but it's abundantly clear that the only people going into threads just to talk about Bryce are the haters. Meanwhile, daring to disagree that Bryce was completely at fault for something that happened on special teams gets the "stan" label. Shoot, I'm sure folks lump me in as a Bryce stan (Brycen stan? Absolutely. Bryce stan? Nah) just because I have the audacity to look at what the rest of the team is and isn't doing. 😛

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By CRA · Posted

      PJ Walker is the only QB in the Tepper era the Panthers managed to find wins with.  Only QB w/ a winning record.    PJ had success in pro ball before the Panthers.  He he had NFL tools.    He just is consistent and unreliable.  PJ Walker is what you call a bad/poor man's gunslinger.  He can provide highs and lows both virtually guaranteed.  He is NFL depth.  Bryce Young hasn't proven to improve a teams chances of winning better than the PJ Walker tier of QBing. PJ Walker can do things Bryce Young can't......and that a problem

      There isn’t but the thing is the team/system/staff around the QB ultimately dictates how successful that QB can be. You have Baker getting released midseason here vs playing like a MVP on another team. Darnold on the Jets/Panthers vs Vikings/Seahawks. Geno Smith on the Jets vs the Seahawks vs the Raiders. Mac Jones is looking as good as Purdy on the 49ers. You have to build a roster, culture, and system for these guys.  Obviously the QB has to be the leader and help elevate the team, but we are seeing what moving a “bad” QB to a stable franchise looks like. Daniel Jones might be doing the same but it’s too early to tell.
