I am certainly not going to argue that Marrone took over a better D and you certainly remember more names from the 2005 team on defense then I can recall but I have to completely disagree on offense. 
 
Nassib has shown to be the better QB then Perry Patterson who was shell of himself after two major knee surgeries and Joe Fields was never a QB at the D1 level.  He was a freshmen which is understandable but it doesn't change the fact hes been Marrone's starter for three years and about to break a bunch of passing records, clearly Marrone got th over all better player.
 
RB- Shouldnt even be debatable, Cater and Bailey were a heck of a Combo and better then everyone you listed save for maybe Brinkleys senior year who by the way had to be re-recruited by Grob.   Were in year four under Marrone and still havent seen a Marrone recruit take meaningful snaps at the RB position not to mention he also had Doug Hogue at RB who had a couple of big games.
 
TE- I think its clear Provo is the guy, as much as I love Joe K the numbers last year speak for themselves and if Cutler wasnt hurt every 5 seconds he would have been a big help the past few years.
 
FB - Ill give you that but Grob wasnt really using a FB in whatever offense we were running and Fiametti wasnt exactly Rob Konrad reincarnated so lets no go overboard.
 
WR- I think I proved my point.
 
Oline - I agree with you on this but the cupboard was far from bare Pugh, Speller, Rosner, White, Baum, and Bart.  Not exactly the Patriots O line but not a D3 line either.
 
No argument from me about the D but I think the secondary was better then you are giving it credit for and the special teams under Grob was somehow better then the mess we have had the past few years (save for Krautman)
