the huddle blew up over a 3rd round QB sitting on the bench

This^^^^  Also you don't draft a top 10 pick to sit on the bench.  First rounders...potentially yes, but in the back end of the first round.  Aaron Rogers sat initially, but he wasn't the 7th pick either.

Probably right, but i have balls and ill take the gamble of tua, personally. Again, im not sure about you, but I dont work in a nfl front office so my opinion is nil.

If it means he is sitting behind a healthy Cam I would be elated...

I get ya, but I have the feeling you would be one of a very few people with that sentiment.  Too much draft capital to not be on the field immediately helping out.

 If a QB with 33 TDs and 3 ints who completed 71% of his passes in the SEC is there, and your QB is 31, heading into a contract year after 2 seasons of injuries, how do you pass on the QB?

Why would you trade one known entity injured QB for an unknown entity injured QB?

We have a bingo!  Dislcaimer #1: sit behind a healthy Cam.  Disclaimer #2: Tua himself is not damaged goods (both ankles surgically repaired AND a busted hip).

Tua's talent is undeniable but his injury rate is a HUGE concern. Not to mention a hip injury is not a joke, as someone stated earlier it was a similar injury to what ended Bo Jackson's career.

Alabama quarterback Tua Tagovailoa believes he could start right away if need be.

But his agent, who has been around a few quarterbacks in his day, thinks sitting for a year might be the best thing for his client.

Longtime agent Leigh Steinberg told Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press that he thinks not starting immediately might have benefits.

 

I'd be pretty happy if we had a healthy Cam and Tua on the bench.

Marty can work his magic in the later rounds and fill the trenches...
