I agree with OF.  When evaluating the 2010 team, we have the benefit of hindsight.  The potential of this team is to exceed the performance of all prior Stanford football teams.  Few teams live up to their full potential.  This is actually good, because otherwise Alabama would win the NC every season.

Sure, but what OF actually wrote was "On paper, this is the best offensive personnel with the most talented depth I can ever remember Stanford having", not "On paper, this year has the potential to be the best offensive personnel with the most talented depth I can ever remember Stanford having"

Let's see if 9 of the 11 starters (plus several backups including one third stringer) make it into the NFL and 3 become stars before we say that the talent this year is on par with 2010, let alone the best any of us can remember Stanford having.
