Probably two of my favorite players I’ve watched in my lifetime but in both of their primes, who are you taking? Why?

Is McCaffrey in his prime? He’s never been healthy enough to be in his ”prime.”

This is pretty difficult. LT missed 3 games in 9 seasons with an extremely high powered Chargers offense that never won a damn thing. McCaffrey was 50% of Carolina’s offense, has missed way more time, and also hasn’t won anything. McCaffrey’s situation with the Niners is more comparable to LTs and the last season and a half has been fairly impressive.

LT avg 4.8 yards a carry while getting well over 300 touches a season

CMC avg 4.7 yards per carry while never hitting 300 touches a season

I think it’s closer than people want to admit and if you switch them up I don’t think LT shines in Carolina due to the personnel around him.
