McCaffery and Chubb play totally different positions. Their teams use them in entirely different roles. McCaffery cannot do what Chubb does and vice-versa. As you said, it’s just not wise to compare the two. It would be like comparing Kyrie and Steve Nash. They play the same nominal position but do totally different things.
The Panthers actually did use McCaffrey as a workhorse back this year, though. They originally brought in CJ Anderson, but he ended up doing nothing because McCaffrey was effective both between the tackles and in the passing game. Yes, he catches a ton of passes, but he can run it up the gut too. Dude averaged 5.0 YPC this year for a reason.
