Newton sets rookie rushing TD record

If he continues on this pace, Newton would finish the season with 14 rushing touchdowns. To put that in perspective, 14 is the most rushing touchdowns Walter Payton ever had in a season. And he was pretty good.

Newton also has a chance to lead the league in rushing touchdowns this season; only Adrian Peterson with 11 and LeSean McCoy with 10 are ahead of him right now.

Former Patriot Steve Grogan has the single-season record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback, with 12 in 1976. Just last year, NFL.com listed Grogan’s record as one of the five NFL records least likely to be broken. But that was before Cam Newton arrived in the NFL. Newton might just be a couple games away from breaking it.

For the record, this was written by Michael David Smith, not Mike Florio, so Florio haters can continue :D

florio has been unusually positive (for him) in regards to the panthers this season.

It seems Florio's hate is for Steve Smith individually moreso than the Panthers as a whole. He usually just mocks the Panthers with little smartass comments because we are/have been/will be the laughingstock of the league for some time now.

In fairness, Smith isn't exactly Dale Carnegie :sosp:

If he wasn't a Panther, pretty good chance a lot of us wouldn't like him much either.

But hey, being a fan of a team involves it's fair share of hypocrisy sometimes :lol:

That's typical of most sports though, and WR specifically too. Everybody outside of Cincy hated Chad Johnson, everybody outside of Minny hated Randy Moss, and everybody outside of SF hate TO. That's the way of the world I suppose.

I wonder how Walter Payton's team did when he scored all those TD's. The other two guys (three if you include Newton) have losing season this year despite their performances. Just goes to show one player can't make the difference.

I hope he does get the record though he deserves it.

one player can make the difference if you are a solid team top to bottom.

one player can't make the difference when the other phases are poo

This statement is somewhat hypocritical. Maybe I'm reading it wrong?

One player can make the difference if the other players play well?

lol

Like I said, one player can't do it.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
