With Cam Newton being cut, a former MVP, All Pro and Super Bowl runner up, being let go for NOTHER (even after Nick Foles was just traded for) is a bit shocking. What it likely means (or at leasr proves Carolina believes) is Newton is shot. Done.
Cam Newton played parts of two games last year after suffering yet more injuries in only his ninth season and not 31 years old yet. Eight full seasons and the dude was thrown out with the trash.
Newton is the most prolific running quarterback ever. Cam is huge (6'5 245) and has a big arm. Sound familiar Bills fans? Yeah, im talking about Josh Allen. Also a big guy (6'5 237) runs a ton, was a high first round pick and had a big arm. Will he be shot in 6 more years?
Cam Newton rushing attempts his first two seasons (age 22 & 23):
2011- 16 games 126 attempts 7.9 rushing attempts per game
2012- 16 games 127 attempts 7.9 rushing attempts per game
Now his first 8 seasons
123 games 929 attempts 7.6 rushing attempts per game.
That is a lot of extra hits.
Now lets look at Josh Allen's first 2 years:
2018- 12 games 89 attempts 7.4 rushing attempts per game
2019- 16 games 109 attempts 6.8 rushing attempts per game
Career
28 games 198 attempts 7.1 per.
Pretty similar amirite?
Whats the point? Dude needs to pass more and run less. Can he do it?
