Have not been around too long, but I can't get over the talent on this team. From every level of the field, we are dominant.

Joe having the best season possibly in history...CEH having one greatest years for an RB in LSU history. Our three WR's are the best unit in college football. Thad Moss with the most catches from a TE in LSU history and being a dominant blocker in the run game.

Tyler Shelvin wrecking havoc each and every play. Chaisson doing whatever he's asked to do all year at the highest level. Stingley and Futlon locking down the opposing best threats game in and game out. And then Delpit and Stevens running all over the field, proving they're the best safety duo in the country.

We have studs all over the field...and we comin'. Been amazing to watch and experience this team.

LSU has had some incredibly talented teams, 2006 comes to mind. This is the most dialed in LSU team I have ever seen. Great focus, especially from the offense. The defense has stepped up when they had to.

Nowhere near as talented at WR in 2010. I’d take 2019 LBs as well.

Yes on offense.

We have had some absolute freak shows on defense in the past.

This is the most decorated team in LSU history.

It is difficult to tell if it is the most talented since the talent was not properly used for many years.

I would say it’s not even close defensively. We have great talent at certain positions now but nothing like the talent across the board defensively in 2010-2012. I think we’ll get back to that level of talent across the board though. Offensively as a collective group, the answer is yes. The stats speak for themselves.

2003, 2006, 2011 were loaded.

This one is super talented, but the coaching and scheme has been phenomenal. Our oline is really not elite, but have played well

Good. Now don't lay an egg like we did against Alabama in 2012.

There have been better teams top to bottom...but this is the best offense LSU has ever produced. And its really not close.

Burrow, CHE, Moss, Chase, Jefferson and Marshall will all be drafted in my opinion.

So, along with those six, if we five lineman that played together with those skill position players at one point this year get drafted, it will have to be the most talented offensive team in LSU history.

I'm just not sure I can recall a program in college football history where all 11 players on either side of the ball that played together for at least one play got drafted. Maybe one of the stud Miami teams of the past, maybe a Saban defense?

This is probably one of the best offenses in college football history.

2006 was so talented that 11-2 with a Sugar Bowl win was an underachievement. The offense was not consistent as it should’ve been and my god the officiating, esp at Auburn, was criminal.

Not sure if it's the most talented but it's tops in competiteness, toughness and teamwork.

its not the 2003 or 2011 defense, but the offense is ridiculous with joeyb and our wrs.

2019 offense + 2011 defense and a couple of Oline would beat the 2008 Lions

We have had defenses with more talent at Dline and LB, but it's hard to know without seeing the final results.

That 2011 Defense had Reid, Minter, Claiborne, Mathieu, Montgomery, Brockers, Logan, Mingo, Furgeson, Loston and Simon.

Pretty talanted group. Good conversation though.
