Besides quarterback, what position are you most concerned with and why?

Offensive line because if that unit isn't good, our season will surely go to shite.

Obviously LB and WR. Not necessarily "concerned" with the receiving corp but its still unknown group relatively. The LB group with Key having that injury, while im not concerned about him, hes an animal, would like him to be full go to help the new young guys and show/teach them the complexities of Aranda.

For me it would be CB. May not be a popular opinion, but both Donte Jackson and Kelvin Tolivee struggled at times this year. And we will be counting on them to be #1 and 2. I think they will grow this summer and become a pretty good duo under Coach Raymond, but I still have my worries.

4 returning starters, and Clapp moving to center.
Edit: I think Coach Raymond is the best position coach on our staff and maybe the best DB coach in the SEC. I do not know too much about the UF coach but have heard really good things.

OT. Returning both starters but they weren't very good last season

Linebacker. We are really short on depth in this department and any injury could be brutal.

Depth at ML and RB. If Guice or Devin get hurt, our most vital player on that side of the ball is gone and we got little behind them.
Yes, I know Key is an AA but I don't know when he will start playing again or in what shape he will be in.

Actually not worried about QB! I think we will be fine there. I think this freshmen class is going to surprise a lot of people and we will quickly see how good they are and what this team will be for years to come!

Maybe it was because the defence always knew the plays most likely to be called.
Some organization rated our OL the best in the SEC.
The talent on most good teams is similar. If a good defence knows the play most of the time they will stop Buga before he reaches the LOS.

OL, but we won't have to live and die by our OL play like we have in the past. I hope so at least

offensive line...always. cause you can NEVER have enough depth
wide receiver next....just not enough experience i fear to make #16 look as good as he needs to

Head coach

in order of concern
OL (until we field a consistent, fundamentally sound unit, this will always be at the top of my list)
MLB (depth combined with inexperience)
Safety (not sold on Battle and Paris, but at least we have lots of talent there)
OLB (if Key's injury is nagging this could turn into a weak spot, quick)
RB (behind Guice.......)
CB (not very concerned - I think KTII will be much improved, DJ should do well in most situations.. Fulton is going to be good)
WR (not much experience, but Davis, Anderson, Sullivan, Chark, and Gage make up a corps that most teams would love to have)

I'm not concerned about QB this season.

Etling's back is a huge issue. Back issues or not, he must stay healthy for LSU to have a successful year. I think he will play well, if we can keep him upright.
We are thin at OT and IL as well.
But injuries aside, Id go with the OT's being the most concerning.

^ This ^
Until Canada proves otherwise, I will continue to believe that he is going to have our stable of QBs much more ready than the previous regime.
So what's the absolute worst that can happen? I am speaking under the hypothesis that Etling will again be the starter. So, if Etling doesn't get the new scheme down or if he just isn't improved at all after the back surgery... what, we get to break in Brennan a bit earlier than expected?
But the Brennan statement is again based on hypothesis, that he continues to gain weight and build strength as reported- and also the hypothesis that although Narcisse passes the eye test for an SEC caliber QB, it's completely undeniable that his lower half is two years underdeveloped, so it's less likely for Narcisse to get the nod over Brennan in a worst-case-scenario this season.
