We replace QB, RB, C, RT on offense.

NG, DT, MLB, CB on defense.

I'm not sure what a rationale Bama fan would be.

Rational, maybe, but rationale?

Calvin Ridley
ArDarius Stewart
OJ Howard
Cam Robinson
Ross P.
Alphonse Taylor
Jon Allen
Rueben Foster
Eddie Jackson
Marlon Humphrey

But they have a ton of depth guys like

Tim Williams
Dashawn Hand
Rashan Evans
Minkah Fitzpatrick
Daron Payne

Played so much they won't have an issue with plugging and playing. Bama's biggest issue is that for the first time since 2011 their breaking in a QB that's not an upper-classman and they don't have a proven stud RB. I know Bo is the next great, but he's injury prone and it'll be interesting to see if he can handle a Derrick Henry workload (40+ carries in big games)

Bo wont get 40+ carries in big games. There will be a much more diversified backfield this year. I'd imagine if Bateman or Barnett start you will see a decent amount of Qb runs too. I actually think our Offesnse gets better next year and our D takes a slight step back in the front 7 but gets better at the back end. Overall I think we will be a better team.

Or even "this is a down year for the whole SEC" (in an attempt to proclaim why the top teams in the conf are not really that good).

Conf goes on to dominate the bowl season....

You lose a Senior QB, All American Center and a 2000 yd rusher/Heisman winner and you think the offense gets better?

I think we upgrade talent at QB

I think we can mange a return to our norm for Rb production.

I think the right side of our Oline improves in pass pro.

The worse lose is Kelly and he will not be easy to replace.

We also return a probable Outland favorite at LT, a filthy receiving core, and a ton of experience on defense.

I think we do, too. Coker was serviceable; Barnett may be great. We probably will not be as run-dependent, which means no stacking the box for our opponents. Our defense won't lose much, if anything. So, sure, we have a good chance at being better.

He may be, but this is starting to feel like Jeremy Johnson last year.

I think whoever we start at QB will be better at escaping the pass rush thus allowing for less 3rd and longs. We were really bad at those this past year.
