1. All 5 OL Return: The Bulldogs entire offensive line has been together for at least two seasons. With Clint Boling at LT and Ben Jones at C the Bulldogs have two outstanding OL to lead this team. If this unit is able to continue the dominance they ended the season with we will have probably of the best offensive lines in the nation next year. The Bulldogs should have no problem going back to the old Dawg Day's of run first pass second.
2. Ealey/King: Washaun Ealey and Caleb King could be the best RB duo in the NCAA next year. There is nothing better than having two great backs to push each other and make the other better. Last season both backs averaged over 5 yards a carry and combined for over 1,100 yards and 8 TD's. Everyone should remember that Richard Samuel was the starter for almost half the season. So we can only imagine what they will do with a whole season.
3. WR/TE Corp: You cannot talk about the Georgia receivers without first talking about AJ Green, he is arguable the best WR in college football right now. I think he will be extremely important to the Bulldogs but it will be the rest of the bunch that makes the biggest difference. The Bulldogs need Tavarres King or Marlon Borwn to really step up and become a legitimate threat next year to take some of the pressure off Green. If this does not happen you can count seeing two defenders lining up over Green all season. Also having Orson Charles and Aaron White lining up at TE should really help to open the middle up as defenses will have to make sure they account for both. With Charles most teams will have to assign a DB to mark him as he can beat most LB's in man coverage.
4. QB Battle: The QB battle should be interesting. Depending on who wins this battle will determine what type plays we are able to run. If Zach Mettenberger wins out we should see a more pro style offense like we saw when Stafford was at QB. If Aaron Murray or Logan Gray wins out we can see more options, bootlegs and draws as both are more mobile than Mettenberger and offer that aspect of the offense.

You said you are blaming Mike Bobo, and therefore by direct report, Coach Richt for Coaching of Quarterbacks. That is what I read "it pains me to say."
You don't say Matthew Stafford had a great freshman season. I noted that.
You mentioned toughness throughout, and focus on last year. Now, this season everyone is expecting 6 feet 198 lbs. Aaron Murray to take over, when once again, Buck Belue points on this issue as well that Aaron Murray has been injured both of the last 2 seasons now. You mentioned 1 of them.
All I know is that we have not had a QB ready to take over since DJ Shockley in 2005. And, before that, none either.
Now we have 3 freshmen QB this season, none of whom have thrown a pass and Aaron Murray still hasn't taken a snap yet under center in his lifetime. Just shotgun only.
10-10 vs SEC East the last 4 years.
Lost 6 of the last 8 to Florida and the vols the last 4 years.
If, as you say straight up, we have issues on coaching of Quarterbacks here and now we asked Logan Gray 5 years in this system to move to wide receiver which he doesn't want to do, and we have had 53 Interceptions, 82 fumbles and have averaged Number 96 NCAA Penalties the last 4 years; I really don't see any conundrum whatsoever to point out that I too am quite satisfied we will have 1 of our best defenses ever this coming season, and once again will continue to struggle on Offense.
Is that what you are asking ?

Yes I do believe that we will have one of the best defenses we have had in a long time next year.
In regards to the offense I personally do not think that Coach Bobo and Coach Richt are to blame they did the best with what they had last year. Cox just folded under pressure more times than he rose to it. With the offense next year I personally think with the weapons we have coming back we should be a run first team. That will help to break-in whoever is at QB and help him to gain confidence by opening up the passing game with playaction. With the offensive line and our RB combo we should easily be able to gain 150+ yards a game on the ground.
Do I think that Murray will be the starting QB? I would lean towards yes, but everything I have read from Bobo states that Mettenberger has improved greatly.
