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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
