Don’t think Bill would do that.

lol!!! that's hilarious. . . why in the world would the bungles trade all the way down to the mid-20s? that's utterly absurd, and downright laughable. . . there are half a dozen teams that can put together significantly more attractive packages, starting with miami at #5. . . new england has zero chance of getting all the way up to #1. . . i think we can go ahead and put that one to bed right now. . .

Yeah, but can you imagine the damage Bill could do if he had some real talent at QB?

He's gonna be shopping soon, unless Stidham is his guy. I'm guessing Brady retires withn 2 yrs.

Even if that is true, which I am skeptical of due to the severity of a dislocated and broken hip injury, Tua has suffered a number of lower body injuries during his playing days at Bama. I wouldn't draft Tua until the end of the first round because of his history of lower body injuries and that I believe and have read that it is essentially impossible for an athlete to comeback from a dislocated and broken him without losing some of his speed, mobility, and/or quickness. If that is true, no one knows or can predict how he will be able to transition to and play as a QB in the NFL and you don't spend a high 1st round draft pick on such a player. However, I expect that a team will draft him in the first 10-15 picks and we'll just have to see whether their high risk pick generates a high reward.

Isn't it basically the same injury Bo Jackson had?

Yes but they caught Tua's quicker and they have much better medical procedures for it now. Bo played some with that injury and made it way worse. Tua is expected to make a full recovery.

Godspeed to Tua. He's a great young man as far as I can tell. I hope he ends up in the NFC and has an outlandishly stylish career.

Watching Jimmy G this year is what it would be like to see Tom Brady outside of the Patriots’ system. Good, but certainly not great.

Brady would have a bunch of years like Keenum's best year. Eh, to be fair, probably better deep ball stats, as Brady doesn't have a total noodle-arm.

Yes, and he needed to have his hip replaced two years later!

Not sure how someone can say they caught Tua's injury earlier? Both injuries were diagnosed as soon as they occurred. Yes, the medical procedures are better today, but today's best medical procedures still can't restore the hip to its pre-injury status or prevent the accelerated degeneration of the hip and the accelerated onset of arthritis in the hip. Factoring that in with all of the other lower body injuries Tua suffered during his career at Alabama makes it extremely risky for a team to draft Tua early in the first round of the NFL draft.

This isn't true, according to his surgeon.

"Important note on Tua from Dr. Cain: his hip injury is completely different from Bo Jackson’s. Bo didn’t know his injury was severe & kept playing on it, causing irreparable damage. Docs acted quickly for Tua & after successful surgery today, I’m told experts expect full recovery"
