had a nice run at the top of the MVP Projection list, a run that's ending this week because Brady's been booted from the top spot in favor of .Newton's rise to the top of the MVP race has been one of the oddest ascensions in recent NFL history. Everyone seems to agree that Newton's the top candidate right now, but no one can seem to agree on why he's the top candidate.Is it because the Panthers are 12-0?Is it because he's the best player on the best team?Is because of his ability to run?It's definitely not because of his numbers because Newton's not really the best at anything, except for winning. He's been really good at that.If Newton does take home the MVP this year, it would be a victory for mobile quarterbacks everywhere. Quarterbacks who can run are almost always overlooked in the MVP race. The latest from SportsLineSince 1960, there have been a total of 23 quarterbacks who have thrown for at least 20 touchdown pa ses and rushed for at least 450 yards and exactly one of those quarterbacks went on to win MVP: Steve Young (1992).Young finished the season with 4,002 total yards (3,465 pa sing yards, 537 rushing yards) and 29 total touchdowns (25 pa s, 4 rush). Young also won the MVP in 1994, but he rushed for le s than 300 yards that season.Newton's on pace for 4,364 yards (3,729 pa sing, 635 rushing) and 46 Tyrese Maxey Jersey touchdowns (33 pa s, 13 rush), which would arguably be the the greatest season by any mobile quarterback in NFL history. There have been a few other quarterbacks who've come close to Newton's season-long projections, but none of them took home the MVP.Randall Cunningham finished as the MVP runner-up three times during his 16-year career (1988, 1990, 1998). The most surprising lo s for Cunningham probably came in 1990, when he finished second in the NFL in touchdown pa ses (30) AND rushed for 942 yards.Cunningham's 1988 and 1990 seasons are why you were able to dominate your friends in Tecmo Bowl with QB Eagles. Randall Cunningham was a beast in tecmo Super Bowl Chicago Joe (@_chicago_joe) Haha...I was a big Eagles/Cunningham fan. I even have his Tecmo Bowl shirsey... Ryan Smith (@RealRyanBSmith) Anyway, the point here is that, for some reason, it's harder to quantify how good a quarterback is when they're just as Billy Cunningham Jersey productive on the ground as they are through the air.However you look at it though, Newton's been productive this year and that's why he's on top of the this week's projection.Why is he on top though?Let's get to the projection and see if we can answer that.MVP Projection1. Panthers QB Cam Newton: For the first time all season, Cam Newton is at the top of the MVP Projection. All he had to do to get there was throw five touchdown pa ses against the and lead the Panthers to one of their most dramatic wins of the season, a 41-38 nailbiter in New Orleans.The Panthers' biggest fan was impre sed.So. Did the Panhers win? Yep. Cam show why he is an MVP? Yep. 12-0? Yep. Yep Stephen Curry (@StephenCurry30) If there were any questions about Cam's clutchne s, he answered them in New Orleans. Actually, he answered them two months ago in Seattle, when he threw a game-winning touchdown with 35 seconds left to beat the in Week 6. However, just in case that wasn't enough though, Newton showed off his clutchne s again. More proof that Cam Derrick Walton Jersey Newton has elevated his game to another level Carolina Panthers (@Panthers) With 65 seconds left and the Panthers trailing 38-34, Newton hit for a touchdown on a pa s that Newton probably wouldn't have risked throwing last year -- Or if he would've thrown it, it would've gone nine feet over Cotchery's head.Anyway, throwing five touchdown pa ses against the Saints defense doesn't automatically make you the NFL MVP, so let's look at why else Newton is No. 1 this week.First, he's been amazing in the fourth quarter. Newton's 115.0 QB rating in the fourth quarter is tops in the NFC and second in the NFL behind only . Newton's also seventh in the NFL when it comes to third down QB rating.Second, Newton produces points. The Panthers quarterback has totaled 32 touchdowns this season (25 pa s, 7 rush), which is second only to Tom Brady's 34 (31 pa s, 3 rush).Third, Newton does a good job of keeping Carolina's offense on the field. The Panthers quarterback has converted 7-of-8 third-and-1 attempts this season which is the second highest conversion rate for anyone who's touched the ball five or more times in a third-and-1 situation ( leads the NFL and is 10 of 10 in that situation).Fourth, Newton is the only quarterback in the NFL this season with MULTIPLE games of five or more touchdown pa ses. Five touchdown pa Joel Embiid Jersey ses has only been reached nine times in 2015 and Newton has two of them. Fifth, Newton uses his legs better than any other quarterback. If Newton played for the or , he'd be their LEADING RUSHER. Newton's 476 rushing yards ranks 29th in the NFL, which is kind of impre sive. What's really impre sive though is his touchdown total. Newton's seven rushing touchdowns is tied for the fourth most rushing touchdowns by anyone in the NFL.On top of all that, he's won the NFC's offensive player of the week award in three of the past five weeks. They should just rename the award the "Cam Newton Award" because he basically wins it it every week.Oh, and he's doing all this even though he got in a car wreck le s than a year ago. I got a splinter on one of my typing hands once and couldn't work for three days. 1 year ago today was Cam Newton's car wreck. Since then? Perfect 14-0 in the reg. season: 247Sports (@247Sports) It's almost like his smile there says, "You know what, I'm going to win every game Terrance Ferguson Jersey I play in from now on."And that's exactly what he's done.Newton is 14-0 in the regular season since getting into the wreck on Dec. 9, 2014. Next up for Newton:vs. Atlanta.Newton's season stats:218 of 373 for 2,797 yards, 25 TDs, 10 INTs, 93.2 QB rating; 108 carries, 476 yards, 7 TDs.Weeks on the MVP projection for Newton:8/13.2. QB Tom Brady: Cam Newton's big day against the Saints wasn't the only reason he moved up to No. 1 this week, it also helped that Tom Brady had arguably his worst game of the season, which Brady would probably agree with.Tom Terrific wasn't so terrific in the Patriots' lo s: Brady threw two interceptions, including one that was returned 99 yards for a touchdown. It's a shame that Brady threw those picks, because if they didn't happen, the game might have gone down as one of the most entertaining of Brady's entire career. Not only did he throw three touchdown pa ses, but he also scored a rushing touchdown AND .Let's watch that catch, but with Brazilian announcers. The ESPN Brasil call of Tom Brady's trick play catch-and-run is amazing. Simply amazing.Posted by on Wednesday, December 9, 2015The most surprising thing about Brady's catch isn't that |
