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

Awesome. Would pie this twice if I could!

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.

    • I’m old enough to remember when I wanted to draft Njoku We brought back Mitchell and officially kept Tremble. Mitchell Evans isn’t going anywhere. Sanders who knows, he was awful last year I fully agree we need a better TE. This room is awful Njoku would be a massive help in the red zone. However it really seems like Dan and the FO prefer to go young on offense
    • You’re underselling Loveland imo. He’s so damn good. You can line him out wide and count on him to win 1 v 1. I don’t see that from Sadiq. Loveland is going to go over 1000 yards next season I’m not overly asking for a WR3. It’s just one of the few directions Morgan could go in round 1.  Let’s say Thieneman, Fano and Cooper are all on the board it’s a tough decision. I just don’t see how this team would take Sadiq over some of those guys given the way they run their offense. Our tight end room is easily bottom of the league so I can definitely see why someone would want a tight end though. At one point during the season I was on the Sadiq train as well. I just don’t think value wise for us specifically it makes sense given our team as a whole As far as tight ends go in this draft I really like Max Klare. Very smooth mover     
    • Some of you need some serious help with the way 9 lives rent free in your heads I know for a fact, Dan loves Bryce. Bryce is his guy. This offense is very young and they’re asking Bryce to do a lot. With Idzik taking over playcalling duties it’s a move that is another step in the process of Bryce taking control of the offense. 24 years old. This youth movement on offense and putting more on 9’s shoulders is going to pay off in the long run
