Bama will be very good and their future looks even better...over the next couple of years. I am a little surprised at Bama fans that "IF's" that so many Bama fans are considering "YES's" as a forgone conclusion. Such as:
1. That whatever QB will be able to be an effective game manager
2. That the secondary will be much better than they were at the end of the season
3. That Josh Chapman will be all SEC
4. That 1st round pick LT Carpenter wasn't nearly as good as the NFL thought
5. That Trent Richardson can carry the rock 25 times a game without getting injured.....at all
6. That several WR's will step up and make the WR corps better than average (all they are with Maze and Hanks as the main 2 targets
Schedule is good and if the stars align, I don't doubt that Bama can compete for the whole thing...I just think Bama fans are assuming that a whole lot of IF's will work themselves out quickly and painlessly. Watchout in PA. IF the new QB comes out hot right out of the gate and gains confidence in that first game, I will change my opinion...but I think the starter will be AJ and I've already seen him choke.

Both QBs are very talented, much more than McElroy (not hating), so as long as they don't turn the ball over we'll be fine.
quote:Again, tons of talent. Menzie will hopefully be at 100%. Barron is great, IMO. Lester makes plays. Dre and Milliner had a lot of experience last year so it's safe to say that they'll improve.
2. That the secondary will be much better than they were at the end of the season
quote:I haven't seen this.
3. That Josh Chapman will be all SEC
quote:
4. That 1st round pick LT Carpenter wasn't nearly as good as the NFL thought
Many say he was picked higher than expected. Hopefully someone will step in here so that we don't have to move Barrett Jones.
quote:No one can predict this. Depth has become a small concern.
5. That Trent Richardson can carry the rock 25 times a game without getting injured.....at all
quote:Many argue that without having Julio, a WR that is ALWAYS in the focus of the QB, will make for better decision making as far as making reads. No doubt Julio will be missed but there are many receiving good reviews.
6. That several WR's will step up and make the WR corps better than average (all they are with Maze and Hanks as the main 2 targets
Nothing is a forgone conclusion in CFB, but there are many promising things about this Bama team.
