Cam Newton holds the record for rushing yards (5002)and touchdowns (52) by a quarterback.
That 52 touchdowns might be better than the other 4 quarterbacks combined.

Okay. John Elway had 3,407 rushing yards in his career.
Cunningham rushed for 4,928 yards.
Michael Vick has 6,109 yards.
Couldn't find Cam Newton's up to date stats. I'm positive he has more than posted above.

The running quarterback have relatively short shelf lives. Its always wiser, and healthier to rely on the pass game. The rushing will only get you so far for so long. The combination of the physical stress it puts on a running Qb combined with the eventual defensive decoding of the wildcat offense always leads to it's eventual failure. Cam is a big guy, he's been effective. But we've also seen the flaws in his style of play. (Super Bowl 50), and we've already seen the cracks in his game, due to the reasons listed above.
Cam should definitely keep a running play or two in his back pocket, but if he wants continued success, and longevity he's better off sticking to mostly more traditional style of play. A QB that puts his body on the line like he does can only last so long. His size has been his saving grace, but for how long?

Cunningham and Elway each played for 16 years.
Vick played 15 years.
Those are long. careers for running QB's. Most RBs don't last half that long.
Newton is playing in his eigth year.
Cunningham best year was 942 yards rushing.
Elway"s best was 304.
Vick season high was 1,039.

Vick might have played that long, but he spent alot of that time second string. He was capable, but he had declined considerably. (Prison played a factor for sure) The others didn't run like Cam. Cam's best bet is to slow his roll, he could be a top tier QB for years. At his pace he risk losing a step before its time.
