Alabama: Best Offense Ever?

One of the things that we’ve seen in this day and age is a lack of purely historical context. For the sheer fact that Duke and Butler is called to be the best Championship game of all time is the fact that there’s weight to my hypothesis.

But when it comes to the Alabama Crimson Tide’s offense this year? Paul Scarbinsky claims that this offense will be better than the days of Wilbur Jackson and Steadman Shelley. And you know what? In terms of reputation. There’s something to the skill position talent having a very strong rep.

Julio Jones is going to go stride for stride with A.J. Green in a duel to be the top receiver in the conference as well as the top receiver to be picked in the 2011 NFL Draft. And while some would disagree, the tag team of Mark Ingram and Trent Richardson has to be considered the best in the conference. Add to that a quarterback of the Brodie Croyle-John Parker Wilson phylum in Greg McElroy with a potential redshirt freshman senation on the come in A.J. McCarron, and you have what Carl Weathers would consider to be a real stew going.

And the offensive line? When you consider the fact that D.J. Fluker is going to come in and fill the hole at tackle, you have to like their chances to reload rather than rebuild. So you know what? I’ll cosign and affirm the potential.

However? The defense is still in need of questions to be answered. And while I’ll expound on that further at a later date? There’s a reason to believe that this team could do an impression of a quality Big 12 team.
