During the offseason we have seen a lot of talk about these 4. To recap:

Cooper - claimed to be best WR in the SEC and an early first round NFL pick.

Coker - Wont miss a beat coming in for AJ. Bama will still win 11-12 regular season games.

Fournette - Will start the season getting a share of the carries but by game 3 will be handling the workload and be a Heisman candidate next year and Freshman of the year this year.

Bo - Will be the best QB in the SEC. Will lead Ole Miss to 9+ wins (the majority of Ole Miss predictions)

Who is in for the biggest letdown in the upcoming season?

A&M for being the third best team in Texas.

Coker by a wide margin IMO. UA's offensive line will make it hard for him to adjust early. He might catch on towards the end of the year, but it will be a rough start for him IMO. UA might have talent, but they're going to have growing pains.

That's not as bad considering how many teams are in texas than being the 2nd best team in Alabama..

Cooper or Bo. Only the biggest homers think Bo is going to be the best QB or lead Ole Miss to glory. He is however, a competent QB and he'll serve them well.

The idea that Cooper is worthy of an early first round pick is just nuts. That said, the NFL overvalues Saban players, so while I'll be surprised if he's a top 3 WR in the conference this season, you never know what'll happen with the draft.

Coker as he may not even start. I don't think many Ole Miss fans actually think Bo Wallace will turn some sort of corner and show us something we haven't already seen. He's a solid QB and one of few returning starters in the conference, but I don't think anyone expects him to set the world on fire. Cooper is the real deal. As to Fournette, I don't think anyone expects him realistically to be a Hesiman candidate this year, but it shouldn't shock anyone objective for him to be SEC Freshman of the year or to end up being the starter by season's end.

I think they all have a good year. They won't have to carry their teams.

See good SEC teams play with a "team" mentality and don't lay the load on one single player and expect him to tote the team to victory every week. Teams that win at a high level with consistancy know better than to live 'n die by one individual player. So these guys will have a talents supporting cast of players to help the whole team succeed.

Baylor would probably have a better record than A&M considering their competition.

You okay with being 2nd in your state when yall play the same competition?

If Baylor and the tsips were in the SEC we would still be the best team in the state. And if we were still in the big12 it would be the same story.

Dude. Put down the crack pipe.

I disagree with all these "points".

Cooper will be awesome, but one of a few in the SEC this year.

Fournette will be good, but I dont expect explosion until year 2. I could be wrong but the pimping on this kid before he has played a down is ridiculous.

Bo - Meh.

Coker - he has to win the job at bama first. Thats not even certain yet is it?

You don't honestly believe that.

If he were at UA, you'd champion him all-world along with Coker/Cooper.

Too obvious.
