It wasn't Manning's record to give up.

The record that Cam Newton surpassed today did not belong to Peyton Manning. He was just the holder of the modern day record.

The all time record of 346 yards (until today) belonged not to Peyton but to Otto freakin Graham.

So let's not belittle Cam's accomplishment by saying he took from that johnny-come-lately Peyton Manning.

Otto's record was for debut performance. He wasn't a rookie.

Stafford had a 422 yard game as a rookie for Detroit but it wasn't his first game. If Goodsen gains one mare yard we may win the game and Newton would have the all-time yardage record for any rookie in any game.

He didn't need 70-80 yards rushing.

He had 420 yards passing, 2 tds, and 1 rushing TD and 18 yards. More than enough...

They took away his running lanes, so he beat them with his arm. He did what I honestly didn't think he was ready to do. I just hope he can do that against GB next week. I don't expect the same performance but I do think he has the ability to keep us competitive till late if our D can get better.

There were at least two scrambles that if he just broke that one tackle or didn't stumble he would still be running right now. They did a good job of taking away his running lanes and did a really good job tackling once they got to him.

But mark my words he is going to break off some huge runs this year when teams blitz and miss that tackle.

Not disagreeing with anything you said. Just adding on to it.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
