How do you feel about this years' team? How does your QB, RB, and rest of the team look?

Running back we'll be ok if Damien Harris improves. With Scarborough's injury history, I don't think Bo can be Derrick Henry this year so we'll need depth. As far as QB goes I trust the combination of a kiffin scheme and the incredible receiving corps we have

Talent is there. Just a matter of leadership, work ethic, and luck. We'll see.

About the same as the last couple of years. Stacked team with a question mark at the most important position - QB.
Defensive back should be very strong, more returning experience/talent than Bama has had in several years.
Front seven should be very good. Possibly not quite as good against the run with the loss of Ragland, Robinson, and Reed, but could be the best pass rushing/pass defending front 7 Bama has had under Saban and one of the most well-rounded in terms of handling multiple styles of offenses.
Oline should be very solid again.
WR- Might be the deepest receiving corp Alabama has ever had.
RB - I'm confident in the top two guys, but depth is pretty scary if one of them gets hurt
QB - the big question. Have 4/5 stars guys all over the place but who knows until they play.

Difference between an undefeated season and a 2-3 loss season can be razor thin, especially when you play tough competition. Bama has the talent to beat anybody but there are others with the talent to beat Bama. I honestly think the talent on paper and before the season starts this year is better than the talent on paper and before the season started last year but what do I know.
Yes, I know he asked the Bama fans.

I think the floor is probably 9 wins.

Get decent QB, we will be a pass first, run second team, old fans be damned.
We may be a bit thin on RB depth while having a good number of receivers.
Expect many bubble screens.
Defense should be overall solid.
Kicking game suspect.

Harris looked better than Bo in the spring game. Not saying that he is better, but he has obviously improved.

Preseason number 1, type of team. If leaders step up, Bama will be hoisting another National Championship trophy in January.

Alabama would be an excellent school for the first female QB. They're going to win no matter who is back there and I know gumps care deeply about social justice issues.

I would get my hopes up and say they might have a down year with a new QB.
But I said it the past two years and they haven't skipped a beat. Best WR group in the country will mask any issues they have at QB, can't imagine their oline doesn't improve as well with that shite RT (Jackson?) gone. Defense still stacked, didn't even downgrade at DC with Kirby gone.
:(

We have 2 five star backs to hand off to and we anchor 2 more five stars at starting WR. Our OL is big and physical and they were all heavily recruited. Honestly, if we field an above average QB this year our offense will be lethal. I won't guarantee that happening but I will guarantee that we will have the best defense in the league again.

if saban is still the coach they probably feel pretty damn awesome.

I know it was just a spring game but the defense looked ridiculous at A-day. It reminded me of a Stallings defense. Total suffocation.
It was hard to get a good feel for the offense because of how dominant the defense was. There is talent across the board though so I think Bama should be able to put points on the board.
Complacency, an inconsistent kicker and improved competition are my biggest concerns.
