My favorite team is 2016. No one will ever convince me it wasn’t Saban’s best
In my opinion, If Eddie Jackson doesn’t go down with a knee injury against A&M, we beat Clemson for the NC. He was a huge loss not only as a ball hawk but as a dynamic punt returner.

The defense was not good either year but it was definitively better in 2020. Will Anderson added some hurries. Surtain took away one receiver on the field every play.
2019 was arguably the worst defense of the Saban era. They couldn't stop the run. Couldn't stop the pass. The edge rush was the best aspect of the team but they weren't practically great compared to the edge guys from the 4 years since.
Also, I'd argue that the 2020 offense had something that the 2019 offense didn't: the back to the basket 7-step drop play action. The 2018 and 2019 offenses were built around Tua's quick processing and release. You didn't really want to do much long developing play actions that suck up the defense toward the LOS. Tua's best attribute was keeping his eyes down field. Furthermore, since Mac did so well with the play action it lended itself to committing more to true 100% run calls instead of the RPO. So the OL got to fire off blocks more to create more explosive runs.
I'd argue the weakness of the 2018-2019; 2021-2022 offenses was precisely because the QB's skill sets led to more RPO passing.

Klatt has mad some terrible arguments of late
I like the guy. And he was consistently more of a homer/anti SEC years ago.
But holy shite he’s been saying some outlandish shite recently. Just mind numbingly stupid and void of any logic shite.
And he’s cool with Alabama being in the playoff, so I’m not basing this on THAT.

There's an argument. If anyone believes 2019 LSU was all time, you should think a healthy 2019 Bama would have been. If our LB corps wasn't devastated and if Tua wasn't literally limping vs LSU we pretty clearly win that game.

Sure 2019 had a better roster.
FEI overall: 2020
FEI offense: 2020
FEI defense: 2019
PPD: 2020
YPP: 2020
2020 is arguably the best statistical offense of all time when adjusted for competition.

He's an idiot. 2019 team lost two games.
