Cam Newton Sets Rookie Record

[Bcatswin]

Cam Newton has set the record for the most passing yards by a rookie in their first start. the previous record holder? Peyton Manning

[doublej95]

Needs some more to get Carolina a win.

[onlooker]

Only fitting since Peyton is sitting and watching.

[Cap dat 4ss]

Ask foldii, he'll tell you the only reason Newton is playing is to meet a quota. Newton does not deserve to be starting over a white QB. Foldii is as sharp as a bowling ball

[doublej95]

418 yards passing.

[jjgold]

He surprised me
great game

[face]

yea he did great but at the end he had 5 tries to put it in the end zone. got nervous. he's a winner though, it's the D that needs to learn how to friggin tackle. TT over for the other team when panthers play.

[SportsMushroom]

probably gonna break a lot more records

[onlooker]

He sure did surprise the hell out of me.

But I left Steve Smith on my bench, and his 40 points. But it is good to see Cam can get it to him.

[D3 Mighty Ducks]

He surprised me
great game

Same here. He shocked me I was expecting that from him in todays game.

[GunShard]

Looks like he's going to play well like Sam Bradford.

[vyomguy]

he will be good in fantasy football this year..like vick he can rush for TDs as well.

[RGG]

Now let's see if he can keep this up...

[eldoctord]

Good start but they did play the Cardinals....time will tell but hope for the best

[Blackroc78]

His for real folks!

[GimpedMaster]

Haha not sure about him being 'for real', but Steve Smith could even make Jake Delhomme look good so keep that in mind...

[Tree Rollins]

I was surprised to. Also, I almost forgot how good steve smith is.

[doublej95]

I was surprised as well, back to earth next weekend for Newton.

this record means one important thing about handicapping the NFL to me.

Arizona had a terrible pass defense today. I was surprised how bad they were, its not like cam was dissecting them. Carolina was getting huge chunks of yards and guys were wide open.

but he looked great tho, no doubt about it.

[B1GER1C828]

not for nothing but zona defense didnt adjust at all. just a pathetic defensive showing. 2 pro bowl safeties and they just did shit to help cb's.

he did great and im just shocked but im going to wait till he plays a good defense.

[RGG]

His for real folks!

We'll see.

[gregm]

I am pretty sure it was Matthew Stafford that had the previous record for rookies. I was really surprised at how good Cam looked today but playing Arizona is not exactly like facing the Baltimore Raven defense. Its a shame he is on such a poor team.

Where was Steve Smith in that final drive, did he get hurt?

[Deep_Rest]

Arizona D was supposed to be good...guess not. Don't bet on Cam though when he faces that tough Green Bay defense next week! I'm sure Clay Mathews is licking his chops.

[agharah1]

Watch everybody try grabbing him off waivers Tuesday morning after fantasy week 1.

[The Seer]

another record he has: 0-1 too early to tell about him but they can't be any worse than they were last year

[onlooker]

another record he has: 0-1

Patrick Peterson disappointing so far as a corner (preseason included) ??

[mstone897]

I'm a hater and will admit I was impressed. He was poised for the most part of the game as well. But guys, remember who he was playing against. Arizona's secondary was awful. They also rushed 5,6 even 7 guys on most of his completions. He showed he can be a good qb but let's see what he does the next few weeks.

Also, that touchdown dance needs to go. AWFUL.
