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.

      Jaire Alexander Released

      I would rather trade for Ramsey. Alexander was great but man his injuries have been on par with Horns in the last couple years.

      The ball keeps getting pushed down the field. Most of the 2nd rounders won't get full guarantees but they'll get a good chunk of the contract guaranteed. So let's say it's 75%. At the end of the day we're talking about a couple of million over the course of a four year deal. Basically a rounding error in terms of salary cap impact. It's much ado about nothing.

      Agents only have the upper hand if they think/expect the teams to cave in the end, but that 30 of the 2nd rounders remain unsigned, it shows the Agents might not have it in this case.  A 2nd round pick isn't going to sit out their rookie season as a holdout to re-enter the draft the next year and improve their draft stock and/or ability to stick in the NFL, you really need to be an elite QB prospect to even have the remote chance of doing that successfully. Teams have to draw a line somewhere, if they all say the line is the 1st round, then there isn't much the Agents can do about it if the teams all hold firm, which they should. And yes, you're right about the rookie wage scale, which is exactly why I don't think the Agents will be winning this battle in the end.  The teams know they already screwed up rookie contracts once, they aren't going to fall down that slippery slope again and let it snowball on it's way down.
