Ever remember a year with so much talent on offense?

Seriously. I can never remember this much returning. Not too mention what's on the way in. It's really scary how deep the offense is going to be. Just need a few players to make immediate impact on Defense.
And, I hope we can start a trend of getting the 2nd team in to play all of the 4th qtr next year to gain experience.

Cootish???? For saying "have you ever seen so much talent on a Clemson on offense in your life"? LOL....where do you guys come up with this junk. OF COURSE we are loaded on offense. Getting Cain and Williams back is a lot of gravy, bringing in Feaster is huge. Don't sound so cootish.

Nothing cootish about it we return 9 starters from a team that put up 40 against Bama that has NFL draft picks all over the field

apologies for awful phrasing..i was the cootish one, there.

my comment simply meant to say that late january accolades for the coming season mean nothing..a whole host of factors ultimately determine whether you make it to the playoffs..deshaun himself said "we are starting over from scratch"..the op's post sounds to me more like everybody's perfect fantasy than real world.
the scenario he describes presumes everything falls into place, just as envisioned in january..nobody hopes that happens more than me..but there's a reason we only have one natty in the trophy case..it takes not only talent and depth, it also takes luck, no injuries to key people, and mostly good bounces..for all 15 games.
my more sober description would be that we return an incredible amount of talent offensively and are replacing another cadre of stalwart defensive early entrants and seniors with a less experienced group, but one of equally high potential..With development, this group could ultimately gel into a defense worthy of a natty participant..We need to keep our qb, his ol and #7 healthy..we need to not give up back-breaking special teams plays or turnovers..we must be ready to play the first game..awbuhn has lots of motivation at home..they ruined our 2010 season, which had similar expectations to 2016..and we need luck..had some luck this year..but that luck ended badly on two terrific special teams plays by bama.

What are you talking about??!!? Nobody expected much from the 2010 team and especially not a possible appearance in the National Championship

They were on the same O... so, my answer is yes. Watson is obviously the difference here, and the o line is improved.

2012 was loaded. Nuk, Sammy, Tay, Andre, Dwayne Allen, Jaron Brown, Humphries
that team was stacked, in terms of NFL talent now

The 2012 offense was special, but 2016 is better at every single position, save running back then it's hard to compare Wayne to Andre.
