Is 2013 Really Bama's Year?

I see fans saying that 2013 is really the year we were likely to win the title anyway, and this is a down year. Do yall really believe that?
Three NFL linemen leaving, our four top defensive linemen, probably our top two linebackers, our top corner, and our top safety. I just don't see it

Every year is Bama's year.
All fans, of all teams, should have this attitude

I think you answered your own question.
If LSU returns some of our juniors we will be NASTY next year. Our entire offense will be back basically and our LBs will be better than they have been in probably a decade. Our Dline reloads and our DBs are freshmen/sophs this year.
I hope Reid stays because hes a leader on the field and in the locker room and if he does watch out.

Alabama will be in the NC hunt until saban retires. That is the main reason for the fear and hate from certain fanbases

Actually next year is our year.

The thought process is that AJ will be in his senior year and should be at his full potential while Yeldon and Coop will have a year of exp under their belt along with some of the young guys we have on defense. The problem is the trenches. We are losing experience and talent on both sides of the ball in that area. I'm very concerned with our NT situation after this year, but to Coach Saban's credit, I've been concerned with it every year since Cody up until this year of course and have been pleasantly surprised.
We have a shite ton of talent in our secondary that will also have LOTS of game experience for next year. Honestly the LB situation is about the same. It's really all about the trenches.

And that is precisely why Bama fans are so quick to try and discount all things LSU. Y'all know that as long as Les is here recruiting like he does, LSU will be in that same hunt every year.

Well Bama's close games and losses have been caused by an underperforming O'line, we still have the potential to return both Tackles and one guard... We have an easy schedule next year and get LSU at home. AJ should return and we don't lose anyone of note off the defense except Williams, Milliner Lester (meh) and perhaps Mosely.
No reason to think we aren't a shoe in to win 10 games next year especially if we can find someone to step up and be a first round talent and pressure the QB.

We could definitely be in the race, but it won't last too long I don't think. The program is getting scary close to have immediate reloading, but you cant just introduce a whole new line to the SEC and expect them to play really well.

The question is if AJ stays after seeing what happened to landry jones and matt barkley after they came back its hard to pass it up especially when you already have a title under your belt

The offensive skill position players will be nasty for sure. If our line performs well, we should have a really tough offense.

sure you can. At least 2 and possibly 3 will return, the whole line isn't being replaced

scary statement. Also a true statement. Once Sumlin gets his offense completely installed and clicking on all cylilnders, its gonna be a force. Yall just gotta get better on defense. Yall did well against us but that was more because of gameplanning in some stuff that you all have never done before and we had zero film for. That enabled you to get up 3 scores before we could even move the ball.
aTm is gonna have to be able to get that kind of performance out of the D consistently to win anything in the SEC. If you can do that next year, yall will be fricking redonkulous.

Don't they lose both of their NFL-caliber OTs next year? JFF might be running for all the wrong reasons next year.

He will not go pro. His grade will not be good enough after this year. He will NEED a good year in 2013 to get a first or second round grade. I had thought he would maybe get a third round grade this year but after the game this weekend, I'm not so sure. Maybe if he played lights out the rest of the way, the pieces fell right, and he is able to get another BCSNC MVP, MAYBE. But I am pretty convinced he is back next year.
