Very bold statement.

Not really. Especially on offense.

It might not end up being true, but I promise we aren't saying it because we're simply optimistic.

The team should absolutely be better next year.

Apparently we've been promoted from Gumps to Grumps. Thanks.

Is it really a surprise that Alabama's players are too stupid to understand the value of money?

Our players get paid better in college than when they turn pro. Don't you take football seriously over there?

I would like to know how you are coming to that opinion?

:I was just asking you pussies. God forbid discussion ensues.

So a MISSISSIPPI State fan is talking about Bama players being stupid?

Even though many mocks had him going in the 1st, Allen wasn't guaranteed to be a 1st round pick. If he did go in the 1st it would've probably been in the later half. He knew he had some room to improve and he stayed.

Not flaming here, but I legitimately think the LSU Bama game next year will be a great one. We will both have strong senior leadership and experienced players facing off. I look for it to be another nailbiter and book it, IT WILL DECIDE THE WINNER OF THE SEC. So TN and Ole Miss can suck it.


Usually does.

The OL and WR positions are expected to improve.

Both our Kicker and our Punter are back.

We do lose Robinson/Reed/Pettway, but we return Allen/Hand/Payne/Tomlinson plus Anderson/Williams/Reuben*/Evans at LB. throw in 4 of the 6 main DBs being back (and if TB gets a spot he has experience from 2014) and it is very possible that the 2016 Bama team surpasses the 2015 Bama team.

I'm not saying it'll happen, but it is certainly feasible. We always have one of the best rush defenses, but say it drops off a little bit. Well our pass rush and secondary return pretty much everyone, so you'd think our pass D would improve.

We return Ridley/Stewart, Foster comes back from injury, and OJ Howard may very well be coming back. We return the entire left side of the OL (and you'd think C-Rob would be back to form) plus our RG. So with the experienced talent at WR and OL you'd think our passing offense would improve. With more experience on the OL and MAYBE more lateral ability at RB our run game may drop off, but it should be fine. Bo Scarbrough was the #2 RB behind LF (though listed as an Athlete) in the 2014 class, no one doubts he has talent.

It says "probably" not "guaranteed" to be better. On offense Bama returns 3/5 of the OL, almost all WRs, and OJ Howard. On defense Bama returns top 5 out 6 pass rushers, Reuban Foster at ILB, and most of secondary (returning 13 of 19 INTs). Both K and P are returning.
Also Nick Saban is still here so why can't Bama be better?

What in the world is so funny? We've all been watching this team for years now. You don't think we have a pretty good feel for what they can and can't do? What they lose and bring back?

Bad news for the rest of the SEC. He's a better every down type DE than any other. A beast.

I understand that.

The defense will be really, really good again.

Interested to see how the offense will look. Obviously will have a lot of weapons on the outside.

I don't think I'm speaking out of turn when I say that most of us older fans expect much better quarterback play and offensive production too. It isn't guaranteed, but the signs are there.
