Maybe I can't see it because I'm an Auburn fan but I don't see it. I see 2 really good rb's, a pretty good TE(hoolio) and not much else unless you want to bring the OL into the discussion.
Solid, experienced OL
Excellent run blocking TE group + a pass catching threat (Michael Williams)
The two best RBs in the SEC (maybe country) + as BM pointed out below a solid 3rd RB in Eddie Lacy
Playmaking WRs (Julio, Maze) + solid backups (Hanks, Gibson)
Smart QB with a good (not great) arm

Eddie Lacy's going to surprise a lot of people this year. He's going to be a much better version of Roy Upchurch. There's also Maze, Hanks and I expect one of our young receivers to step us as well. If Alabama struggles on offense, it's going to be because of the QB and playcalling. This team has plenty of weapons on offense.

The only reason I put Bama at #2 is the QB position.
Arkansas is better at WR, IMO, with Wright, Childs, Adams.
Arkansas has a better receiving weapon at TE in DJ williams.
Arkansas has a more game changing QB.
And Arkansas has probably the 3rd best RB corp in the conference.

I've never really considered QB a weapon unless they were a dual, multi-purpose threat like a Michael Vick or Vince Young. A pocket passing QB is more of a utilizer of weapons by getting the ball to those weapons.

I agree, but its asking who has the most offensive weapons at the end of the day. However thats kinda a broad topic and can be argued alot of different ways. I think on talent alone LSU has the most offensive weapons. However I believe Alabama will be the most consistent offense in the league, but do I think they have more weapons than LSU? No. I believe they have better weapons at certain spots which makes them more consistent. But when it comes to big, long scoring plays, the team I think of is Arkansas. This then all becomes in the eye of the beholder as to which team has the most offensive weapons because all are different. Making the plays and having the weapons are different things.
I get what you're saying, and at this point, we're likely just debating semantics, but if you aren't making the plays(consistently), how much of a weapon are you, really?
I certainly would prefer not to have my offense likened to a game of Russian roulette. (And that's not to imply that I necessarily believe our offense to be anything but. I'm cautiously optimistic).
If anything, it's telling that cases can be made for so many schools, especially considering the (typically national) perception of the SEC as a conference defensive in nature-which, to some of those same "analysts", seems to be to the exclusion of any capacity for offense.
