Zulu Cthulhu Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Game still being played, but Newton breaks Peyton Manning's passing yardage record for a pro debut (302). Newton has 323 and counting with ~9 minutes left. I'm sure Tim Tebow is better though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is just moments away from a serious hit! These Panthers are going to let this guy get raped back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are they talking about first starts, or first time in a game...Marino's first start, against the Bills, has to be up there too...Fergy threw for 435 or so, but Marino had about 330, IIRC.

I believe it is rookie debut by a QB. Either way, he looks mighty impressive. Newton is getting zero help from his running backs and still slicing Arizona up. Steve Smith looks re-energized. Kolb looks sharp as well. Edited September 11, 2011 by Zulu Cthulhu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicBills Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 He's the real deal. I know it's only one game, but the guy can flat out play. He's not phased at all by the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saundena Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Why didn't we take Newton! Actually if he continues to impress, it will make Chix look better since it is generally accepted that Newton was the #1 guy on their board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Just broke 400 yards. Really impressed. Look poised, took control of the plays, great game. Carolina should be really happy with this game, even though they lost. I'll eat some crow and say that I never thought he'd have a game like that and he did it in the very first one.

stinky finger Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Most impressive. Though I'd bet he'll throw up more duds than not this season. It was the Cardinals D for crissakes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Im a big Newton fan, and a big Tebow fan, AND a big Dareus fan. Really glad to see Newton light it up in his first game after so many haters had so much venom for him all offseason. Hope things get better for Tebow, I think he's being underestimated in Denver right now. Given the choice, for the Buffalo Bills, Id still take Dareus every time.

Yeah, remains to be seen just how bad Arizona's defense, and pass defense in general, is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise, I would be pretty worried when this group uses a high pick on a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Which is why I hope newton continues to be good. Otherwise, I would be pretty worried when this group uses a high pick on a QB. Why? It is two totally different situations. Success in Carolina doesn't mean he would have been successful here and the same goes for failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I don't think Peyton Manning held that record- and the person who did, would greatly surprise you... http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/7426/gamelog;_ylt=ArBuLcDLl0DF3buFSAV59T3.uLYF?year=2005 Actually, double-checking it looks like Otto Graham and Ed Rubbert are the first two on the list. From Wiki: "...The others were Otto Graham, 346 yards (1950); Ed Rubbert, 334 (a replacement player for the Washington Redskins during the 1987 strike); Mark Rypien, 303 (1988), and Peyton Manning, 302 (1998)."
