The last 3 times we've broken in a new QB we've won 2 SEC titles (And beating LSU in the BCS championship was like a 3rd SEC title) and 2 National Championships, so we aren't sweating it.

Bama lost a lot on O from last year. It's not just the QB. WR and OL are both positions with a lot of questions. There are a few SEC teams left saban can beat 13-10, but not as many as there were three or four years ago.
The offensive line could be VERY good by midseason. The thought around the program is that the talent level is wayyy up from 2013-2014 levels at that position.
WR is a question mark. A ton of talent. Stewart, Foster, and Ridley all have elite potential. Mullaney was a very good possession WR in the Pac 12. But they need to step up the consistency and show that they can make plays when it matters. The lack of experience with 3/4 of those guys is what it is.
QB is a mess right now. Barnett looks like a future #1 overall pick to people who have been watching him in practice, and has been the best QB so far. But who wants to start a true freshman in the SEC? And, predictably, his first scrimmage was rough today, with him throwing 3 INTs. Coker has all the physical tools, but scares me to death. Too SLOWWWWWWWW on his reads. Cornwell had an excellent Spring, but not so excellent first week or so of Fall camp. Morris is okay, but is a statue out there.

Took longer than I thought for "the last time......." to come out.
