I think we upgrade talent at QB

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

The worse lose is Kelly and he will not be easy to replace.
Bama has Saban and Saban is gonna win 10 games at a min. But I just don't see the offense getting better this year. The front 7 is going to take a dip, but your secondary could be great if they don't miss Mel Tucker too much.

That's fine. You are entitled to your opinion. I just disagree. Going back and forth with you seems like a waste of time.

Yet another LSU fan who understands Bama's team better than Bama fans. It's like a broken record ...
"Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time! Bama can NEVER replace what they lost this time!"
I think it helps them sleep.

I'm probably in the minority of my fanbase, but I agree...while he could be an upgrade, there'll be a learning curve so I'm in wait and see mode...and, while Barnett might be our starter next year, I still think it could be Bateman...

While I don't necessarily agree with you 'bout Harris, this will be the first time in the Saban era where we don't have a plug-n-play RB ready to go, at least experience-wise. Think it'll be Bo but not givin' up on Harris...most of his carries came in garbage time, when we had our second and third team OL in and were still primarily goin' against the other team's ones. He might not pan out but I'll wait and see how he does with our ones. Agree that we'll definitely miss Henry...

While our offense might possibly be better, if our QB/RB replacements pan out, that's a big if...so I pretty much agree. Our front 7 should be really good again, but we won't have the depth we had this year. I think our secondary could be better...Tucker made a big improvement from last year and I think Pruitt will build on that since that's his specialty...
Think what we'll miss the most is leadership. Guys like Robinson, Reed, Allen, Coker, Ragland, Henry, Kelly, and probably Cyrus Jones as well. Those guys had a lot of discipline and our team was pretty much self policed this past year...and we lose all of 'em with the exception of Allen (and we're lucky to have him back).
I was surprised (pleasantly) that we won the SEC and made the playoffs the past 2 years after the attrition each year, so I'm hoping to be surprised again next season...I think we'll be in contention, just not gonna take it for granted that it'll be a slam dunk...

When is the last time Bama won only 10 games?
