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.

    • Ultimately it's up to the other safety prospects to clearly outplay Scott. I think when that happens on tape against other teams it'll be addressed. I think none of them have done that definitively and consistently yet. 
    • Night and day difference in the front office investements.  Since Morgan has been in the FO (5 years)....4 out of 5 first round picks have been offensive players.  The one defensive pick was a corner. Expand it out to the first 2 rounds? 7 out of the 9 picks have been offensive.  That IMO is why our D sucks so bad.   You build defenses up front.   Carolina hasn't been investing there.  Ron's first 5 years? 3 of the 5 first round picks were defensive players.  Expand it all to include second rounders  7 of the 10 picks were defensive.  All front 7 players.     
    • I think he gets this year to show what he can do.  Last year, we had a lot of injuries. This year, we should have some players, even if we lose one or two.  It's the first preseason game.  Some of the starters weren't even in it.  There is no scheming or game planning.  Let's see how guys do when it counts. I think we have a GM that knows a thing or two about defense.  Let it play out.
