QB : AJ McCarron, Greg McElroy
RB : Trent Richardson, Eddie Lacy (I think Lacy complements Richardson better than Ingram, and personally think Lacy is just a bit more talented than MI)
WR : Julio Jones/Kenny Bell
WR : Amari Cooper/Marquis Maze
WR : Kevin Norwood/Darius Hanks
TE : Michael Williams/Collin Peek (I start BMW because his blocking was at an insanely high level)
H-Back : Brad Smelley/Preston Dial
LT : Cyrus Kounadjio/Andre Smith
LG : Chance Warmack/Mike Johnson
C : Antoine Caldwell/William Vlachos (Jones > Caldwell, but trying to make everything work better on the two deep)
RG : Barrett Jones/Mike Johnson
RT : DJ Fluker/James Carpenter

DE : Marcell Dareus/Ed Stinson
NG : Terrence Cody/Josh Chapman
DE : Jesse Williams/Brandon Deaderick
Sam : Adrian Hubbard/Dont'a Hightower
Mike : Rolando McClain/Nico Johnson

Jack : Courtney Upshaw/Xzavier Dickson
CB : Dee Milliner/Kareem Jackson
CB : Dre Kirkpatrick/Deion Belue
Star : Javier Arenas/DeQuan Menzie
S : Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix/RaShad Johnson
S : Mark Barron/Robert Lester
Money : Vinnie Sunseri/Will Lowery

K : Leigh Tiffin/Jeremy Shelley
P : Cody Mandell/PJ Fitzgerald
LS : Carson Tinker/Carson Tinker because he's Carson Tinker

PR : Javier Arenas/Marquis Maze
KR : Javier Arenas/Trent Richardson

HC : Nick Saban obviously
OC : Doug Nussmeier

Points surrenders : Not a damn one

Gotta disagree with Ingram, best vision at RB we have had in awhile. If Richardson had Ingram's vision....damn just damn. However, I did enjoy just watching him truck people.

Meh, I find that T-Rich developed good vision over time, but it was never on Ingram's level.

Ingram > Lacy IMO

Lacy had arguably the greatest O-Line in CFB history to run behind. MI was incredibly talented despite his NFL struggles.

I don't have an favorite NFL team per se, but Ingram is in the wrong scheme to highlight his talents. When he is in, defenses know what is coming. His talent is wasted with the Saints as they are now.

Yeah and I think MI is too big. I don't know what he weighs now compared to when he was at Bama, but he looks a lot larger, which seems to have limited his mobility.

Great list, I would put Travis McCall in the 2 deep at H-Back though, best blocker out of all of them.

not having dont'a hightower as a starter is insane

That was my 1st thought too. The problem is we've had 3 All-American caliber ILBs. #bamafanproblems

Hubbard over Donta? Quit dipping into the drugs youre supposed to be selling.

I'm sensing a bit of anger.

Yes, Hubbard over Dont'a. Dont'a only played Sam as a rusher, Hubbard did it all the time, so Hubbard gets the vote. It's not like the backup Sam would never play if he could get adequate pressure.

Never angry. I'd put Donta over Hubbard.

Vinnie as a starter and Menzie not even a backup is almost as bad as Hubbard over Donta.

I always thought winning the Heisman meant instant qualification for any All-Time or Historic team that said player is eligible for.

Ingram pre-knee injury was the best RB at Bama in the Saban era.

Last year Lacy and Yeldon had the benefit of running behind 1 of the top 2-3 Offensive Lines in college football history.
