Even if you arent a Panthers/Cam fan this is a no brainer. He’s not even 30 yet and is already the best dual threat QB of all time, has 3 pro bowls, a ROY, MVP, and OPOY. Revolutionized the position and whether people want to admit it or not he, along with corny ass RW debunked every stereotype and perception of black QBs. Before them black QBs were always considered game managers who could compliment a team but could not carry a team. I dont think for one moment it isnt off base to say that guys like Dak, Watson, Mahomes, Jameis, would not have gotten the opportunites they did if not for Cam and Russ

A lot of people in here are saying it's a no brainer, but among non-panther fans that's not the case. Particularly those who heavily weigh "passing stats" such as Passer Rating, Completion Percentage, TD/INT ratio, etc. 

Cam is the type of player you need to see play in order to know he's hall of fame bound, I'm not sure just looking at numbers will do it, even including his rushing feats. I personally think he needs one more MVP like season (doesnt have to win it but needs to be in the debate) or he needs a ring.

Warren Moon, Steve McNair, Donovan McNabb, Randall Cunningham....

It's not a black/white thing. It's a Quarterback thing. Every team always wanted their quarterback to be pocket passers. Now you see more dual threat QBs.

People want to bring up completion percentage, but even Dan Marino only had 5 seasons out of his 17 year career at or above 60%.

Cam Newton has the 3rd most TDs (behind Marino & Manning) & 2nd most yards ever (behind Manning) in a player’s first 7 seasons. He’s averaging over 4,200 yards & over 30 total TDs w/ a lower INT % than Peyton Manning. His total TD to turnover ratio is pretty damn good.

He’s already the NFL's all time leader in rushing TDs for a QB and will likely finish w/ at least forty more rushing TDs than Otto Graham. He’s led his team in rushing TWICE (only the second QB to ever do that), has never had a 1k yard RB, & his best receiver since ‘14 is a TE.

In seven seasons he has four playoff appearances including three NFC South division titles. He won OROY with the most TDs ever for a rookie (35). He was the first rookie EVER to throw for 4,000 yards and while doing that he also rushed for over 700 yards.

He won an MVP while passing for 35 TDs & rushing for another 10 TDs. He was the first to do 30 & 10. He was the first QB ever to throw for 300 yards and 5 TDs while also rushing for 100+ yards in a game.

He’s going to have over 225 & 75 in four years not to mention his potential past that. He is 4-0 in his last four games against Brady and Rodgers. Go look at the players with 75+ rushing TDs. Cam is definitely on pace for the Hall of Fame. He’s a once in a generation talent.

Fun Fact: Cam Newton, Matt Ryan, Ben Roethlisberger have the same amount of seasons with 30 or more TDs (three) Ben has played fourteen seasons, Ryan has played ten, Cam has played seven. (Cam: 2011, 2013, 2015. Ryan: 2011, 2012, 2016. Ben: 2007, 2014, 2016)

      Down year for QBs

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I took a look at 1990 to 2025(so far). It's an interesting look. In my eyes, I don't think there is a huge difference in the rushing output or attempts over that span. The maximum difference in the attempted rushes over that massive of a span of time was only 2.4 attempts/game. Attempts/game has been rising for the past few years but that isn't the biggest difference, it's the efficiency of those runs that is actually at historic highs over that timespan. Look at YPA averages. The same general thing happened a few years ago with the passing game. Although the range of attempted passes per game is significantly higher in this timespan(5.8 attempts/GM), it's also the efficiency of these passes that has gone up considerably over that era(but peaked a few years ago).  I don't think we are reverting to a "previous era" of offense in terms of the rushing attempts vs. passing attempts. I say that because with all the rule changes, it's sort of impossible for that to happen. What you are seeing is more likely an adjustment to the defensive changes that came about to stop the explosive passing offenses that had developed. These changes haven't led to an inordinate amount of rushing versus passing(although that ratio has dropped) but it HAS led to much more explosive rushing output as evidenced by YPA ticking up since 2018.
