Thomas Davis on NFL Network

Was just on and said that this Panthers team is MORE talented than the 2015 Super Bowl team.

[TheRumGone]

He’s not wrong but the most talented player on the team that year played the most important position on the field.

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.

[t96]

On paper he may not be wrong. But that 2015 had a ton of special things about it that's yet to be seen this year. Of course an MVP caliber QB is the most glaring...

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

And a HOF QB on defense. And a borderline HOF TE.  And two running backs with about 1000 yard rushing each.

[Kuhndog94]

We definitely have more talent on offense besides the QB position. 

If Cam had this kind of talent around him in his prime... just imagine... he carried the offense to #1 in the NFL with the likes of Ted Ginn and Philly Brown.  

[CPF4LIFE]

He is right. Talent doesn't have anything to do with results. This team is just way more well built all around. 2013 and 2015 both had holes that were just masked by cam and others. Panthers are building a all around great team which is what i have always preferred. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Overall, I probably don't disagree. The overall offense is MUCH more talented. Cam was that offense.

[Raleigh PF]

The 2015 team was rather top heavy in talent. This year's team has better overall talent throughout the roster.

[Captain Morgan]

been fun watching all the Panthers attention on the NFL Network today ahead of the game.  Definitely feels strange.  They also just got done talking with Smitty.

[SmokinwithWilly]

It looks like our OCs from 15 and 21 have about the same skill at adaptation after the 1st half.

Except for MLB and QB I'd say hes right.  Its a much more talented roster in on the defense as a whole, and with the offensive weapons.  Imagine a prime MVP Cam and prime Luke added to this roster.  Holy poo....
