I don't mean this to be offensive to you personally, OPa, but this ^^^^  is literally one of the most off target representations of antiquated thinking posts I've ever read on this board--bar none.
 
On top of that, you make an NFL comparison and try to apply that to college football, which is almost an entirely a different game, to prove your point.  Dinosaur thinking like the one being expressed in your post is the reason that our program is where it is, and why we are fortunate to have an innovative head coach like Babers, who will finally drag our program out of the stone ages. 
 
[I]Of course[/I] talent is important, but it isn't more important than systems to all but a small handful of factories, that can win no matter what system they run.  The fallacy is trying to emluate what those programs do can be successful when you don't have the "biggest, strongest, fastest" superior talent that they have [BTW, watching old game film doesn't give you the "biggest, strongest, fastes, smartest" talent, either].  That's why running a pro-set system won't work here, even though it works for Alabama.
 
Which is why your proposition from an earlier post that system doesn't matter is entirely, tragically "bunk."  It appears that the last 15 years have taught you nothing about the chasm that separated our program from modern collegiate football.
 
Feel free to run the old Wing T and keep reviewing that film from the Rhode Island game while railing about a "magic elixir"--I'll stick with Babers, his proven system, and track record of results that he will apply successfully here to transform our program's culture and the results we see on the field during game day.
 
You'll be singing a completely different tune about system in less than two years.
