It's not a fracture, its dislocated. Bo had a lack of blood flow causing osteoarthritis necrosis. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't want to say it is a crap shoot, but picking the right QB takes a little luck. Just as important or perhaps more, is the team, HC, OC and QBC that the drafted QB gets saddled with. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not that the injuries themselves were related. Didn't realize they had ruled out fracture, that's a relief. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Actually, i was wrong Not of fracture of the femur, but of the back portion of the socket as well. Different than Bo, but not good. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonaldJet 119 #14 Posted November 17 Another example as to why the NFL should let kids into the league a year early. There is no reason Tua should be playing this year and no reason Trevor Lawrence should play next year. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There is no reason Tua should be playing this year and no reason Trevor Lawrence should play next year. I didn't want him going to the Dolphins (or the Bengals since they're in our conference too) but I feel terrible for Tua. He might miss out on life-changing money now. I think he has a very talented younger brother who is signed up to play for Bama as well. That could help his family but not sure about his future. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Today they do, and I think there is very strong chance Tua makes a full recovery. I'm hearing anywhere from 6 months to 18 months including physical therapy depending on how bad the fracture is.

rldev 236 #17 Posted November 17 Let's be honest. Tua's career is seriously diminished at this point. There will be no guaranteed millions for him. I'm sure he has insurance. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully they will get him patched up. I'd say that he will still get drafted by round 3 if the reports on his recovery are favorable. Perhaps still round one. Look at Dallas with Jalin Smith. Not a QB, but same type of situation. Considered the best defensive prospect until catastrophic knee injury. Now he's a contributor. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bla bla bla 2,034 #21 Posted November 17 Should Tua still come out this year? Or does it make more sense to return for one more year to heal and potentially get some reps in? Obviously depends on how early you think he'd go but I don't think it's a sure thing that he comes out. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will be a Willis McGahee situation where whomever drafts him will likely redshirt him. I still think he’s likely a round 1 pick 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jaylon Smith came to mind for me as well but, as you noted, he had a different injury (knee rather than hip). It's certainly possible that there's a treatment by now though so maybe Tua will still play in the NFL down the road. Watch the Patriots draft him and put him on the shelf for Tom Brady's final 2-3 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Given the TDTC’s recent performances, particularly as it relates to QB evals, I think it’s going to be interesting to see who ends up going where.

Bo had a lack of blood flow causing osteoarthritis necrosis. Yeah but one of the major things that can cause what Jackson had, avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis of the hip, is hip dislocation which can interrupt blood flow to the femoral head. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
