Cam Setting Records


Gallagher

Recommended Posts

Cam has thrown 152 passes without an interception. This is a franchise record.

For posterity, this is more passes without an interception than: Kerry Collins, Steve Beuerlein, Chris Weinke, Matt Lytle, Randy Fasani, Rodney Peete, Jake Delhomme, Vinny Testaverde, David Carr, Matt Moore, Brian St. Pierre or Jimmy Clausen.

And people say he has trouble with his decision making and accuracy.

It's actually the longest active streak in the NFL right now.

Steve Young's longest streak w/o pick was 185. Montana's was 154. Aaron Rodgers 181. Those are the only three I can find sans Tom Brady, which Cam Newton won't even come close to cracking unless he gets quite lucky and improves tenfold (because, while he is very good, it takes quite the QB to go that long without a pick and even Brady got a bit lucky).

Hey is also roughly 350-400 yards from passing Peyton Manning for the most passing yards in a QB's first 2 seasons ever (although Luck will likely have a good shot at breaking that record next year).

He is a heckuva player and I can't wait to see him excel when the games matter.

Already the best QB in franchise history.

I wouldn't go that far yet. He needs to lead some quality winning seasons and have a couple of Rams double overtime moments to surpass Delhomme. Hard to beat out Jake after only two seasons. After its all said and done I'll probably agree if he can start leading us to some winning seasons. But right now I think it's two early for that.

You'd have to be blind to not think he has problems with accuracy. He has gotten a lot better about his decision making the latter half of the year, but as far as accuracy.....there is room for improvement to say the least.

he unquestionably still chucks some high balls and makes questionable decisions at times. that screen pass TD to williams was a toss-up situation that finally broke our way for once but it could have just easily been a tipped INT which would have swung the early momentum back hard to the chargers.

either way the improvement is palpable and encouraging. hopefully we'll end the year on a high note and it'll carry over.

I think consistency is his problem. He can make every throw, and be as accurate as any one in the league. Now, when he does it 60 - 70 percent of the time... then he'll truly be elite.

Yeah, maybe he'll learn to be as accurate as, say, Eli Manning one day.

Or John Elway.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
