Record watch: Cam Newton


Bronn

Recommended Posts

Record: Peyton Manning, 3,739 yards

Cam Newton: 3,297 yards with 4 games to go

He needs to average a mere 110.5 per game for the next 4 games to tie

Here's hoping he averages at least 176, to break 4,000 for the year

He's also only needs 35 rushing yards to break the rookie QB rushing record

Didnt think he'd have a chance to break VYs rookie rushing yard record, but he could end the year with 700 yards.

Also it hasnt been mentioned, but Cam has an outside shot to break HOFer Eric Dickersons rookie rushing TD record of 18.

Not sure he will get that....but he will set the record for most TDs by a rookie.

I heard that he already broke the rookie record for total touchdowns (passing/rushing) can anybody confirm that?
peyton manning threw 26 TDs his rookie year.

newton has 26 rushing/passing combined.

not sure how that's going to be viewed.

Yep... That is the best I can find too...

Also of note, rookie record for completion percentage in a season is 66.4 by Ben Roethlisberger... Cam is currently at 60.8, so I think that one could be attainable too...

He needs 104 more completions to break Bradford's rookie completion record, but I don't see that happening...

If he could up his average a tad, he might be able to break the highest YPP for a rookie... Current is 7.98, record is 9.41

Meh, I think he's run too many plays already to up his completion % and YPP significantly. I think he might be able to get the Bradford record depending on how often we throw it in the last couple games.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
