I'd have Sims over G-Mac and Lacy over Yeldon. Agree with everything else.

If it's a true All-Saban team, and a starting lineup, you don't get 2 RBs. Can't take Ingram and Henry. Gotta choose.

I'll take Ingram over Henry because of the better career. I'll add Norwood as the third receiver. And Colin Peek makes my honorable mention.

Love him or hate him, DJ Hall should be on this list.

Why? So we can have every starting receiver in the Saban era? Heck, I'd take Maze before Hall, and no one has even mentioned Marquis yet. Hall may have racked up some big numbers, but he was lazy in some areas of the game. I have no problem at all with leaving him off.

This happens all the time when people start these "all time" threads. People start wanting to include every good player we had. It's like the RB thing I already mentioned. We aren't talking about Bear Bryant running the wishbone. It's Saban, so you only get one RB. If that means Trent and Eddie get relegated to honorable mention, so be it.

It's funny how people can say "GMac" with a straight face. I don't see how he is that much better than Coker.

Our two best QBs are AJ and Blake. The others were game managers who wouldn't have even won a division if not for having GOAT defenses carrying them along the way.

AJ won games.
Blake won games.

Because he still was one of the best WRs in Saban's tenue, but people are more hung up on his reputation and the fact he was on Saban's worst team.

It's reverse Prothro syndrome, instead of being remembered fondly for a little, he's regarded negatively for a lot. He was a playmaker on a bad team, but he broke records at the university.

Cameron Robinson being in there is a joke.

I would be open to switching Notwood for Maze and Fowler for Howard, but I like the clutch was of Norwood and the versatility of Fowler. The original team OP picked had three OTs and one OG.

Honestly, I'd take a healthy Lacy over TR. He was a monster at the end of the 2012 season and he did that in just a few touches.

Collin Peak was crucial on 09.

Fowler deserves to be over OJ.

I made the list in the format of an all-sec or all-America roster. It always lists 2 rbs and doesn't always fit the 5 OL into 5 specific positions.

I'd take Lacy without a second thought. I'd take Lacy over most backs I've ever seen play in college.

AJ
Lacy
Smith
War Daddy
Caldwell
Mike Johnson
Fluker
Mike Williams
Julio
Cooper
Ridley

Caldwell was a better center than Barret, and Mike Johnson is the second best guard to play for Saban. I would pick Arie, if he didn't jump offsides every other snap for 2 straight seasons.

CamRob has really regressed. Not sure if anyone noticed, but we ran right WAY more than left on Saturday.

Seriously, Ridley has shown me enough to know what his ceiling is, and its better than every WR under Saban but the two listed above him. He is as good now, as Norwood was as a senior. Norwood is remembered fondly for his hands, and standing on the honeybadgers head. I love the guy, but Ridley is the third best WR to play for Saban.

I know he is on your list, just had to say that.

Honorable mention: Duron Carter
