Rookie rushing TD record

As our offense develops I would expect fewer rushing and more passing TDs. At some point he should pass Young, and probably while he is still on his rookie contract.

Yeah, I'd guess it won't take long. Cam has to be the surest rushing option ever inside the 5; certainly goal line. Wouldn't mind hearing stat geeks weigh in.

Honestly I'm not so sure about this. Why limit yourself to just one type of play to get into the end zone when you have a guy that can punch it in through a multitude of different plays.

I think we'll see the same thing through out the course of Cam's progression and that's a healthy ratio of passing and rushing touchdowns.

28 by LT back in '06 I believe

Holy.

Was that just rushing or combined?

Jesus, 28 is insane...

Edit: Just checked, it was all rushing. Holy hell. No wonder he won MVP that season.

I had LT on my fantasy team that year and saw every game. Dude was unstoppable in the red zone, he just smelled the blood. He even threw a TD.

For the record I would like to see it stop next year. Eventually, people are going to start gunning for him.

Dont get me wrong, i love the TDs, love the broken records, and the hype we get on ESPN...

But I really worry about those failed rushing TDs because some LB puts a God awful hit on him....I just want to have Cam have a healthy, long football career, and big hits negate that.

So you are more worried about a 240 lb linebacker hitting him when Newton can see the guy coming and try and avoid it, versus the hits in the pocket where a 300 lb guy blindsides him as he is defenseless and looking downfield for a receiver?? Newton himself said he was more likely to get hurt in the pocket than he was when he was running with the ball.

Here's to hoping he is more durable than Vick. I also cringe at the thought of seeing him getting sacked like Vick has this year.

Vick is 6 feet tall and 215 lbs. Newton is 6'6" and closer to 250. Newton is very muscled and strong which protects ligaments and bones from getting injured. But I agree that he is more likely to get injured on a sack versus being in open space.

Eh, look around the league and not just QBs but runners whether they are RBs or WRs.

Name the last player you saw trying to dive over people at the goalline that got hurt......then try to name the last QB that got hurt in the pocket. No point worry about Cam running. He is built to take it and is probably safest running....even if they means diving.

      Yes, more recently. The way duke fans act you'd think they'd won five of the last ten or something crazy when they've actually won zero if the last ten. They haven't even even played in a championship ship game in the last decade. Carolina has played in three. For all the elite NBA talent that has come through Durham, duke is in a woeful championship drought. Duke fans used to talk all kinds of poo about how Carolina failed to win titles with Stackhouse/Wallace and Carter/Jamison and honestly they had a point. We should've gotten a title or two out of those teams. But man, duke's current run of elite talent with no titles puts that to shame.

      A Zietlow (observer) 3 centers to consider for draft

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      In response to mailbag questions about drafting a center from Observer, Zietlow gives this infO  From Alex The Panthers, after all, aren’t going to be as stacked with interior offensive linemen who can be converted into centers as they were last year. Cade Mays is already gone to Detroit. Austin Corbett moved on to Buffalo. Brady Christensen might still come back, but his future is murky too … and he ruptured his Achilles five months ago.   Keylan Rutledge. The guard out of Georgia Tech has received high marks in the pre-draft process, and if he drops to the Panthers at No. 51 somehow, they should take him. He worked at guard and center during the 2026 Senior Bowl.   Jake Slaughter. The 6-foot-5, 303-pound center out of Florida really impressed at the NFL Scouting Combine in February, notably with a 5.1-second 40-yard dash time. He’s a center by trade, and coach Dave Canales likes athletic centers who can get to the second level of the defense. Slaughter is projected to be a third- or fourth-round pick.   Billy Schrauth. Another draft, another Notre Dame draft pick?At least, it’s possible with Schrauth, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound interior offensive lineman and team captain. He spent most of his college career at guard, but reports indicate a transition to center would be easy for him. He’s projected to be a Day 3 pick.
