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.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
