Just got curious and did some digging. You'll obviously know a few.

-Newton set the record for most yards by a rookie ever in his NFL debut.

-Cam Newton tied the record for most yards ever thrown by a rookie QB (Matt Stafford)

-Cam Newton is second on the all time Panthers list for most passing yards in one game falling one yard behind Weinke.

-Cam Newton's 77 yard TD pass to Steve Smith is the longest ever in a NFL rookie debut.

-Cam Newton tied Jimmy Clausen's TD total from last year, as well at notching a 1/4th of his total passing yards.

-Steve Smith caught 8 balls, moving him past Raymond Berry, Don Maynard, and Steve Hill into 45th place for all time passes caught. With a good season, he could finish the year in as high as 32nd place. Muhsin Muhammad is 16th on the list with 860 career receptions.

-Jeremy Shockey moved into 101st on that same list, passing Emmit Smith.

-Steve Smith's 178 Receiving yards move's him into 46th place on the all time list for most Receiving yards. With a great year, he could get as high as 30th. Muhammad is 22nd all time on that list. Only 5 active players remain on that list, including the likes of Derrick Mason, Tony Gonzalez, and Donal Driver.

-Steve Smith's 54 career TD's is 83rd on the all time list tied with Amani Toomer, Ricky Proehl, and Wesley Walls. The ascent he could make on this list this year with a good season is astronomical. With 15 TD catches this season, he could move all the way into the 30's.

-Jonathan Stewart now has 2756 career rushing yards, and needs less than 600 more rushing yards to pass Deshaun Foster for second place on the all time leading Panthers rushing list.

-Charles Johnson is now one sack away from tying Lamar Lathon's sack record as a Panther, which will move him into 4th place.

-Chris Gamble with one interception, will tie Eric Davis' interception record of 25 on the Panthers all time list.

-Olindo Mare, who had 3 total points Sunday, is 20th on the NFL's all time leading scorer's list. He should make steady progress up that list this year, with 6 or 7 spots being jumped being a feasible possibility. FWIW, John Kasay is 8th on that list.

Keep in mind, one of the sources I'm using will use players who tie as counting for multiple positions. To elaborate, If 4 players are tied at 22 TD's and they are 14th on the all time list, a player with 21 career TD's will be 18th on the list, rather than right behind them at 15. This allows some extraordinary jumps in ranking by catching a TD or two.

I'm sure there's more..Perhaps I'll dig a little deeper later, but for now, just thought I'd share that.

Carolina Panthers Career Passing Leaders

Cam is 11 out of 34 players to throw a ball for the Panthers and should jump to 9th with a good game this Sunday. Jumping David Carr 9 with 635 yards and Frank Reich 10 with 441 yards will be easy. Vinny Testaverde 8 with 952 yards and Jimmy Clausen 7 with 1558 yards the weeks to come.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Tanking in the NFL isn’t really a thing and anybody wanting to bring the rigged lottery to the NFL has an ulterior motive.

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I understand where you're coming from, but we need another safety IMHO. Other positions, especially on defense, dont have ideal depth, but to me at least S is the one position we can't stand pat at even when thinking about the future

      Ravens safety out for year. Torn Achilles… Panthers may need to do something

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. Nick Scott was awful last year. Like, even for a franchise that hasn't historically invested in that position, it stood out for how awful it was. If he sees meaningful snaps at S again we're cooked.  Maybe he has value for ST, but I certainly hope we can upgrade. Jordan Fuller, who was by all accounts an Evero guy, was almost as bad. Xavier Woods was bad, but not complete garbage. Still did not want him back. Those 3 guys seriously may have been the worst S group in the NFL. And they all were brought in, especially Fuller, as good fits for this system. Everyone knocks the defensive line, and they deserve a lot of blame, too, but so, so many times our safeties inability to tackle let 4-5 yard runs turn into 10+. And it happened over and over and over again if you watch the film. Honestly, Demani Richardson was the only S by the end of the year I remember making positive plays. I have no issue with Richardson being in the mix and/or competing to be a starter, but we still need another S desperately IMHO who has actually played meaningful snaps in the NFL. The only caveat/excuse for our secondary was the fact our pass rush was nonexistent for large stretches last year. Maybe that helps with coverage, but I dont see how that makes any of these guys better at tackling.  I know it somewhat feels like piling on at this point, but I feel 100% confident in saying this was the worst tackling team in franchise history. The 70ish yard pass play we gave up to Jamarr Chase where he ran through and past everyone in the secondary has to be up there in terms of most embarrassing plays I've ever seen. I can't imagine how embarrassed Kuechly must have been watching from the booth... I think bringing back Evero was a mistake, but for a team that has had nothing but change over the past 5 years, I'm willing to see this through. I definitely think we added significantly to the floor of this defense with the additions we made. I dont think Evero has any further excuses if he cant field a unit that can at least somewhat hold their own. Fixing the safety play is going to be a big part of that.
