You might not know this, but there are only 3 active and signed players with more rushing TDs than Cam


Recommended Posts

Marshawn Lynch

Frank Gore

LeSean McCoy

That's it, that's the whole list. Adrian Peterson and Chris Johnson have more and haven't retired, but they're currently unsigned. There's a decent chance that when the season starts that Cam will be Top 5 among active players with rushing touchdowns. Lynch was drafted in 2007, Gore in 2005, McCoy in 2009, Cam in 2011.

I mean...that’s great for fantasy football, fanboys and Madden players but in the bigger picture it’s kind of a bad stat if you ask me...

I’m all for some sneaky draws and scrambling ala Rodgers/Wilson/Young but damn that is an unnerving stat for anyone that thinks Cam can thrive outside running. He’s the best QB we’ve had, it’s be sad to see us wear him down like that.

Pretty impressive since most of these guys are or were workhorses for their teams while Cam rushes less than 10 times per game.

Going a bit further.  

Cam 828 attempts 54 TDs or One TD for every 15.33 attempts

Lynch 2351 attempts 81 TDs or One TD for every 29.02 attempts

Gore 3226 attempts 77 TDs or One TD for every 41.89 attempts

McCoy 2185 attempts 66 TDs or One TD for every 33.11 attempts

AP 2574 attempts 99 TDs or One TD for every 26 attempts

CJ 2163 attempts 55 TDs or One TD for every 39.33 attempst

Isn't this going to be the first training camp he enters without a bit of injury in 4 years?

Hard to believe Adrian Peterson was only in his 4th season when Cam was drafted. My how time flies.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
