I think this team has a chance to be as good as any team Saban has had.
Going forward you can say that about any team we will have barring some glaring recruiting issue or kicking a bunch of people off the team, massive spring/fall camp injuries, etc. You could have said it the past few years too, maybe not to quite the same degree, but still very very similar. Every year is the same with a round of junior's leaving we will need young people to step up big the following year.
This year we have to figure out who is making the calls at LB on defense, hope some in the secondary take the next step and hope the qb's are as advertised and can translate it to the field. Sure there is a whole lot of potential on the roster, but you don't know what you have till its on the field.
- Also, regarding 2011, I have to agree with that poster, we were set on D, oline was great, WR/QB were our questions and we had some experience at WR. At least that's how i remember it, its been a little while.

I think this one specifically. We return an elite talent, experienced group on the DL and secondary. We return a full time starter leader at LB and others who have played.
On offense, we return a chunk of the OL, all of our pass catching options (including 2 additions in Foster and Bowling Green whitey) and have what should (could) be two very talented young kids at RB and QB, positions we have had guys perform well in pretty much every year the last decade.
I think we should be more explosive on offense than we have been in a long while (with more options) and just as good on defense (a small drop off on the DL, but better secondary play).
However, as we all know, you never know. 2010 had similar feelings and they are the only Saban team to lose more than 1 game in the regular season since 2008.
