Is this Saban's best team ever?

This team seems to be better balanced than any of his previous teams. The added dimension of a running QB, the talented receivers, and the improvement in the running game make the offense almost impossible to defend.

The defensive front and lbs are super strong and quick and the unit is adding depth. The pressure placed on opposing QBs is intense. I don't even buy the argument that the secondary is weak.

The only problem seems to be kicking make-able field goals.

Can't wait to see how things go against A&M -- the best team to face so far

I think this has been asked almost every year.

I'll only entertain thoughts like this after a successful national championship season. Long way to go

Not even close. College football parity is just close to its peak right now, and a lot of the top 15 programs are rebuilding, reloading, or firing their coaches.

They're very good but '11 Bama was sick.

2011 and 2012 were better.

Still waiting to see how they do next week against A&M and against LSU.

Defensive secondary is weak

Yawls ain't gonna stomp A&M like you did to my Vowls. It can't happen. knight will play much better than Dobbs. And our O-Line was a joke once again. Yawls ain't getting too many more defensive touchdowns. Enjoy your trip to New Orleans for the Sugar. You ain't getting in the playoff.

They remind me of AU's 2013 O. You just knew they would move the ball regardless of what D they were playing.

It is the most versatile team that Saban has had at Bama. The defense isn't the best but is the best at creating TOs, big plays off of the TOs by housing them first TDs and the most aggressive which had caused some big plays when they bust or miss coverage.

On offense, it's again the most explosive and is finding it's identity still. The new RBs are starting to find their grooves. The run game is SICK, 3 very good RBs plus Hurts. Ridley, Stewart and Howard are hard match ups for defenses.

Question, would you rather have AJ McCarron or Hurts leading this team?

If this team wins it all then it is certainly top 3. It has been my favorite to watch, at least so far.
