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.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
