I don’t know if I’d want this as the price could be high but I did have a dream that it happened. So there’s that.

I also figure this can consolidate the Tua specific conversation and see what people think. Many think he’d be hands down #1 overall if he didn’t go down so I wonder how teams will look at him if his recovery checks out in March per the reported medical follow up he’s due.

He has a really refined game and I just think could be worth the gamble. In an early reboot, I think it’s the most opportune time to take a boom/bust at the most critical position.

whatsayyou?

Alabama QBs. No thanks. Think the Tua hype is overblown.

i'm in but i don't know if we can get him.   they say his positivity is infectious just like our coach.  i think he'd be perfect.  and he's not the same alabama qb from the past.  saban finally learned.   i hope this happens but i doubt it will

Pretty much all you need to tell me to lose my interest in a 1st round prospect is that he has that Bo Jackson hip injury.

”Oh he’s got that thing that killed Bo’s career? Yeah no, hard pass. If he’s around in the third round maybe, but otherwise show me what you’ve got in a nice left tackle or maybe an elite corner, I’m good.”

who is a really good qb with crappy receivers?  just curious.   and to his hip injury, it got dealt with right away, unlike how bo treated his.  doesn't mean he won't have issues but we don't know yet.   his tissue may all be fine for 10 years

Tua had 3 first round nfl receivers to throw to and a dominant O-line. I can't trust a guy who's never been challenged to succeed.

I mean Watson played on a loaded Clemson team and he’s still good as hell.  

Tua had a great team around him but he still balled out.  There’s a reason he was seen as a first round talent and not Hurts. 

The only reason I’d pass is due to his medical but he’s far better than any QB Alabama has had in years.

I don’t think he’d necessarily be #1 overall without the injury. Burrow is impressive.

If we can get him without trading up, I’m all about it. If we can get him by trading up just a couple spots, I’d be cool with it. Not so hot on trading up into the t3 though.

Hopefully somebody falls in love with Herbert.

IF we don’t plan to tank for Trevor (which I’m honestly convinced will happen—look at Rhule’s past first seasons as HC and we have no QB and a relatively poor roster)

then I’d be all for targeting Tua. The hip is definitely a big risk but probably worth it for a guy who when healthy would likely go 1st or 2nd overall. I’d prefer we get a shot at 7 but would consider trading up if we don’t give up any picks from next year’s draft.

This is overly simplistic and doesn’t hold up under scrutiny.

1. He’s a QB, not a RB. Just like an injury to a throwing shoulder will be much more serious to a QB than a RB.

2. Even with the same injury, there’s other factors to consider. Nerve damage, etc.

3. He will be evaluated by doctors. I’m pretty sure everybody is on board with not touching him with a ten foot pole if we don’t like what we hear from doctors. So your proposing that this freak injury that will likely never happen again should take him off our draft boards even if the doctors say there is no nerve damage, he will make a full recovery, not have limitations, etc. If the recovery prognosis is the same as Bo Jackson’s, literally nobody will want him.

      Yea when teams see a gun charge they rightly pause but this seems like a big misunderstanding.

      Sorry man you lost me at "Teppers have evolved as owners". Limped into playoffs at 8-9 not even above .500 Tepper is trash as an owner bro and that's not even a discussion at this point. 37-83 w/l ratio. Nuff said.... Morgan tho, he's cooking and it ain't cuz of Teppers leadership

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      After listening to Morgan's presser twice, I came away with some key beliefs. First of all, I don't think he's a bullshitter. What you see is what you get. When he says something, he means it.  The Teppers really have evolved as owners. Morgan has mentioned how they're easy to work with--a pleasure to work with a few times now. There seems to be a good relationship between all of them (and include Dave Canales on that). We'll see if it lasts. Yes, no one wanted to come to Carolina with the previous management, but that seems to have changed. The team signed arguably the top Edge, LB and OT on the market, two of them on pretty good deals and one on what I'll say is "not a bad one." And, credit Sunshine Dave "Flowers and Cotton Candy" Canales for helping to change the culture. Morgan mentioned getting guys--and I'm paraphrasing--that are not only great football players but great people. Don't look for us to be acquiring any James Pearce types anytime soon, just saying. We'll see if that holds true in the future. Dan Morgan really has set up the Panthers to take the BPA/BAP. He mentioned it at least a couple of times, and he doesn't seem pressured to pinpoint a particular position. He just wants quality players that will help the team. This is how it's going to be (to your joy or dismay, probably for as long as he's here), and personally I love it. Many of us know how Morgan was when he played: aggressive! That's what he's going to be when making acquisitions. He explicitly said it, and emphasized it. All avenues are open (think FA, waivers...the draft)! Personally, as long as it's controlled aggression and not reckless aggression, I love it.  On KP: "Mobility is big in this league."  He basically says if another QB is the BPA while drafting--we're going by our board, people--we're going to add them.        ...
