Exactly.  Fair to say the entire roster overall is perhaps better, but even that is way too soon.

Certainly 2015 had a better offensive line and (at least for now) much better QB... Cam will never get the credit he fully deserves for carrying that team to a Super Bowl

I mean, he won the MVP and Offensive Player of the Year awards so I'd say he got SOME credit...

He COULD be right, but two games into the season isn't the time for such hyperbole.

Call me in December when we're still undefeated, and then we can talk about the comparisons to 2015.

If TD says it.....imma let him say it and I'm not about to refute it. If he's on board, I'm on board

Lol no, sorry.

Cam wasn’t having to get it out in 2 seconds in 2015 like Darnold. He had the second best oline in the league overall. And Cam was going bezerk.

I’m going to disagree with this.

Cam was better, the oline was hella better and the defense was just as good if not better, special teams…not even close as sad as that might be.

Thing about ‘talent’ and ‘potential’ is they’re essentially meaningless, measureless words.

If you want to be real TD is either full of poo or trying to hype this team up…or both.

Only, single position I’ll give them is cmc…and coaching.

Comparing by units...

QB - Newton was definitely more talented. Darnold could conceivably wind up being more successful though given the makeup of the team and the coaching staff. Throw in that 2015 was far superior in the backup quarterback spot.

RB - All the respect in the world for Jonathan Stewart, but Christian McCaffrey is significantly better. On the flipside, Mike Tolbert was a true fullback and Fozzy Whitaker was a better backup (so far, that's subject to change)

WR - Yeah, no contest here. The current unit absolutely blows away the 2015 receiving corps. This is the group that Davis cited when he was making his claim.

TE - There's nobody on the current squad that's as good as Greg Olsen. Depth is probably a wash.

OL - Gotta go with the 2015 group here even though the 2021 group is looking better than we thought they would so far and Taylor Moton is a huge upgrade from Darryl Williams.

DL - This one's tough, but I'd say the current unit has the edge because there was nobody on the 2015 squad as dominant as Brian Burns. DTs are more of a debate but I would say Derrick Brown is likely better than Lotulelei or Short.

LB - Obviously you go with Luke and Thomas Davis here, but the 2021 version of Shaq Thompson is significantly better than the 2015 one was.

DB - Due respect to Josh Norman and Kurt Coleman, but Jeremy Chinn, Donte Jackson and Jaycee Horn tip the scales to the 2021 group.

ST - Long snapper is a wash. Punter might be too. Current kicking situation is a nightmare though. But even if it wasn't, 2015 probably wins this one anyway.

Scot you know that prime 2015 team stomps this current 2021 2-0 group? TD just is going FULL media hot take...

Let's see...in 2015 we had Cam Newton, Jonathan Stewart, Mike Tolbert, Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis, KK, Star, Josh Norman. 

2021 we have CMC, DJ Moore, Robby, Brian Burns, Brown, Shaq (2021 version), Jackson (2021 version), Horn (based on 2 games), Chinn. 

 

I'd say it's about the same sans a dynamic QB.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...
