Serious question. What % would you give Cam to make the HOF?

(Assuming he continues to break these types of records/milestones)

I’d say:

No Super Bowl: 80%

Superb Owl: 100%

thats difficult considering we dont know how long he'll play. I'm pretty sure he'll at least have all the QB rushing related records when hes done. Passing, not so much. I'd say if he wins a Super Bowl he has a pretty good shot. 

As we are right now, we're still very inconsistent franchise in terms of consecutive winning seasons and we've never won SB.  In fact, we've never even had back to back winning seasons in over 20 years of existence . So I think he needs to either spur us on to multiple winning seasons in  a row , or win a super bowl. Because right now he has 1 great MVP/SB trip  year, 1 great rookie season, but other than that he's been quite inconsistent passing and we keep having up and down seasons.

Honestly... 100% regardless 

His rushing TDs are going to be so absurd for a QB, along with an MVP already, he's a shoe-in with a few more years of solid production.

Cam set 13 records as a rookie and is still breaking records, already has an MVP, soon to be 4 playoff years out of 7, 1 NFCCs and a Super Bowl appearance. 

He's almost caught Jonathan Stewart and quite a few running backs in career rushing touchdowns and rushing yards, Bla bla bla

so I think he's in the HOF conversation already, probably 2nd or 3rd ballot right now.

if we get a Super Bowl and he continues on his path, plays another 5 years even then he's a for sure 1st ballot.

obviously I want him to find a Tom Brady or Brett Favre sort of longevity and have playoff games at 40,

Steve McNair, IMO, is a good measure for Cam.  I personally think it’s more of a floor or baseline for where Cam is headed but I digress.

McNair was a special player, won an MVP, 3 pro bowls, AFC Championship, SB appearance and 1 yard shy of a Lombardi.

Heres a look at Steve’s 13 year career:

Good numbers, nothing eye popping.  Decent passer rating and 200 TDs in 13 years.

Not bad right?

 

Here’s Cam midway thru 7:

Better TD/INT ratio, only 7,000 total yards behind, More rush yards, More Rushing TDs, only 9 total TDs behind.

Cam also has an MVP, NFC Championship, SB appearance.  But let’s see what else:

44 NFL records and achievements.

(https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cam_Newton)

Way too much info to list here.

Cam should eclipse McNair’s career production in all stats in the next 2-3 years, barring time missed.  And that’s a modest estimate.

If Cam is on trajectory to pass McNair like he’s goin in reverse, with so many records in tow, it should be safe to say Cam will be getting a tailor made jacket he didn’t have to pay for.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
