Tied for 10th anyway. Kind of an odd list, but it's:

1. Walter Payton 110

2. Jim Brown 106

3. Barry Sanders 99

4. Leroy Kelly 74

5. Steve Van Buren 69

6. Lenny Moore 63

7. Terrell Davis 60

8. Mike Alstott 58

9. Tiki Barber 55

10t. Emerson Boozer 52

10t. Cam Newton 52

 

He's tied with 3 other players for 66th all-time period, 7th among active players. Where do you think he'll end up?

This is insane.

What's more insane is even after all this some people still aren't sold.

Seriously?

Probably because of his inconsistency in passing . If someone's trying to debate you on his rushing prowess, then they shouldn't be winning THAT argument. 

Especially this season , Cam still has more INTs than TDs, and his ratio and completion percentage were ass last year too. Yes theres a number of factors that go into why that happened, but in reality Cam will continue to be ripped by pretty much everyone as inconsistent or average at passing until he proves otherwise. He stepped it up against New England and Detroit, but has since regressed again in accuracy. Which just further proves the naysayers points.

If someone is still a naysayer this many years in, they always were, and they always will be.

Agreed his accuracy has left something to be desired, but last year he looked superb and was in MVP form early. The headshots took a toll by the midway point, and we know about the shoulder.

This season the lack of run game early has really hampered the offense. If we can sustain that Cam is accurate enough for us to beat just about anyone.

Right now Cam has 3907 total rushing yards, and is only 48 rushing yards away from passing Mike Vick in QB rush yard leaders for #3 spot in all time QB rush yards. Steve Young is #2 with 4309 and Randall Cunningham is #1 with 4928 . I think Cam should get up to about 4200 rushing yards by the end of this season, and he should be pushing 5000 rushing yards by the time his 9th (Age 30) season is over. Which is mind boggling for a quarterback.  

He's already beaten the record for most QB rush TDs with his current 52 rush TDs.  I'm guessing his career is about halfway done by the end of this year his 7th season. I dont think its meaningful to look at all time rushing stats, his rushing is going to massively drop off by the time he hits 32 or 33 or maybe even earlier, its just human body and what I'm guessing is he's going to transition into being a more accurate and efficient passer that just scrambles more often than your average QB.  

So if Cam plays for about 14 years (basically through his age 36 season) , I'd predict him to have about 6000 rushing yards and around 80 rushing TDs.

That is a very odd list, and somewhat misleading.  Taking Emmitt Smith as an example, he played for the Cowgals for 13 years and had a 154 td's for them, then played for Arizona for a couple of mostly meaningless seasons.  If Cam plays 14 years for us, then goes to some other team to finish his career for a year, he drops from this list.  

 

But Cam has been a good qb for us, no doubt about it. Needs to finish his career with a Couple of Rings.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Wanting that type of play and being okay with paying $55 million a season for it are two entirely different things. If Bryce were to become the same player Purdy has been, then he would surpass my expectations of him and I'd be okay with him as our QB of the future (and again, I've long been one of the bigger anti Bryce people here who doesn't think he is capable of being our long term solution). But in no world would I be okay with paying him THAT kind of money, paying an average starter elite money is just a terrible decision.

      I don't think they can overcome that mistake. Hell Lance was a hiccup compared to this. He isn't going to be able to carry that price tag and now he is going to have to do just that. Lol. The NFL is so dumb sometimes.

      So, one could say that T-Mac is quicker than someone of his size should be and while he might not be quite as fast as Evans in the 40, he's more athletic than Evans. If only someone, anyone, could have seen that in his tape and mentioned that on here, hmmmmmmm In all seriousness, hearing he tested in the 89th percentile in that drill at his size is crazy impressive.  Just tried to look up the times of the top WRs in the league right now, most don't show at time for that, but I did see Chase ran his in 7 seconds flat. I honestly don't know how true this is, but I do remember seeing one breakdown of his tape and the person said he has quiet and efficient feet.  That he's really good at using the minimal steps possible to make his cuts and because of that, it actually makes him look slower to the human eye because you don't see all the quick chop steps that the guys like Tyreek would use in their running. I'm still in a state of disbelief that he's a Panther and it might not fully hit me until week 1 and I see him out there making plays for us, still feels like Goodell is going to just be like, "YOU GOT PUNKED!!!  hahaha, he's a Cowboy now, suck it"
