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.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
