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.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
