So I was listening to the doctor that was on Francessa and he said there's a 90% chance that Tua returns to full form. Although this is an injury that can come with complications, and best case scenario is that he'd be ready for the tail end of his rookie year. Don't forget that he has injuries to both ankles and what 3-4 surgeries in 2 years? He'll be better protected in the NFL. But his draft spot is going to be interesting. Are the Bengals and Dolphins willing to wait? Does he fall to a team that can afford to wait? And fall enough that the Patriots, Saints, Steelers, or team alike move up to get him and give up the ransom to do so? I hope Tua can reach his full potential. His down field accuracy is something that I don't think I've ever seen our of a prospect. Luck is the best prospect since Manning and I think Tua's down field throwing is or was better.
No. Bo kept playing on it and did irreparable damage. Tua will still be a first round pick. That 5th year of control is so important with qbs and now in this situation even more as he is a definite red shirt rookie
He should go back to Alabama. sit out until November and then light it up the final couple weeks. he would without a doubt be the 1st overall selection then
No chance. He just saw his Winning lottery ticket almost get sucked out the window. He is going to cash it now .
Reportedly he will 100% enter the draft. Right. And as the doctor explained on WFAN, Bo ended up in a situation where it wasn't popped back in to place quick enough and as a result he lost blood flow to the socket which is what did him in I think. They popped Tua's back in immediately which is why they airlifted him out of the nearby stadium and got him onto the operating table ASAP. But he still runs the risk of it not healing 100%. The actual tackle looked JUST like Bo's though.
I don't think he'll go first overall anymore. But barring more unexpected developments, there will be a team that takes him in the first round, even if he has to sit his entire rookie year. His talent is worth the risk.
top ten easy.....perhaps top 5 if his recovery avoids the dreaded avascular necrosis of the femoral head and surrounding tissue.
Not a big fan. Guy seems very injury prone. Plus he’s got a long timed delivery/release. You can get away with that in college but not the pros. I might get torched by everyone on this but when I watch him throw, —- I see some Tim Tebow.
He is way more accurate than Tebow. He also is better reading defenses and does have a faster throwing motion. It maybe slowed than I would like but not Tebow slow. Just because people have weird throwing motions doesn't make them a bust look at Mahomes. I think he goes in the first. Maybe even to Miami who could potentially also get his blindside OT and top WR. Miami could easily use the 3 picks they have in the first on all 3 alabama offensive "studs" and keep them together.
His motion looks the same because all lefties look the same. Ask a lefty family member to throw a football. It's the same awkwardness as Michael Vick and Steve Young. He does have a long throwing motion, but what makes him the real deal is his deep ball accuracy. It can't be taught. He's also very injury prone, but he has rare talents and he'll be better protected in the NFL. I think he's the real deal if he recovers/can stay healthy. And I hope he recovers well so he's available at our pick and we can get a kings ransom for him.
Omg you mean lefties throw different than righties? I totally agree. I hope he looks great at the combine/pro day... I would love to get a bug trade on him.
burrow has to be 1st overall to the bengals IMO. i still think tua goes in the 1st. just mid to late. hopefully not to the pats. some potential landing spots i see are chargers 10 carolina 12 TB 16 Mia 22 or 23 NE 29
Absolutely no question he goes in round 1.....i don't think he gets out of the top 10 if health checks out.
IDK rodgers has a good 5 years left and they are a playoff team. would make more sense for them to add win now talent
Rodgers has already began to regress IMO, I don't know if he has 5 GOOD years left. Packers team IMO isn't all that impressive. They already have win now talent, they have the defense, the offensive line, maybe just need a receiver or 2.
