JTJet Posted January 6, 2020 Author Share Posted January 6, 2020 So far, from how Saban is talking, sounds like hes staying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisfaceoff Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I'm at work but cant watch it, but I think when the lineman decided to stay, this was an indication Tua was going to stay too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 If he comes out then he's trying to grab $$ and knows that now is his only shot. If he goes back to Alabama then he's betting on himself and thinks he should be something like the 1st or 2nd pick in the Draft and won't accept going somewhere outside the Top 5 or 10 this year just due to injury. Those are my thoughts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lith Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Decision makes sense. He will get drafted -- nice gauranteed money and can rehab in an NFL program. Good luck to him; hopefully it works out and the medicals don't scare away too many teams. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those are my thoughts. I think he still a lock top 10 pick, injury or not. Some team is going to trade up for him if he slips out of top 5, I can easily see the Raiders doing this to start off their era in Vegas. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 As he should. Risks everything by returning, loses nothing by declaring. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetstream23 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Do we know his rehab status? Will he be able to do anything at the Combine or will he just go through medicals and stuff prior to the April Draft? If anything, maybe this declaration means his rehab is on track and he's confident he'll be cleared, evaluated well, and plans to throw prior to April???

Especially teams that really need a QB like Miami, San Diego, etc. But I agree....this could either push an OT or WR down to the Jets if Tua goes in the first 10 picks, or it could give the Jets a bargaining chip to trade back if Tua is there at #11. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to believe if Gurley can come back from a gruesome ACL injury as a RB and truck people in the pros, Tua can come back from a hip injury and be fine. We have seen stranger things happen in sports. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge4Tide Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 So.....now it is 8 players (pretty much) guaranteed to be drafted ahead of us. In no particular order: Burrow QB Tua QB Another QB (Herbert, Eason, or Love) A WR (Jeudy or Lamb) Thomas OL Brown DL Young Edge Okudah CB Pretty much guaranteed to get either the #2 OL or the #2 WR 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdxgreen Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Herbert's gunna drop to some team that doesnt suck @ss and finally get a chance to be with an OC who sticks with the same playbook for more than three games.

jetstream23 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 2 minutes ago, Paradis said: Nothing. Gurley type draft circuit. Interviews and doctors. That's risky for him IMO. Would you hitch your franchise to a QB coming off a major injury who doesn't demonstrate that he can run, pass and play again at a high level? At a minimum I think he needs to clear all medicals AND run and throw at a Pro Day or on-campus workout in front of scouts. Nobody is taking him in the Top 10 if the last time they saw him move was 5 minutes before he was carted off a football field. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paradis Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 Tua decision makes the push for Herbert/Eason/whoever more competitive. Tua will go probably top 5, worst case MIA.... hard to see the jets benefiting directly. Herbert likely LAC/CAR targets now... Best case for us - other talent gets pushed down. Better OT/WR 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ankle surgery they performed on him (twice if I'm not mistaken) is not even a recognized medical practice and now the hips situation, he should be in a wheelchair or on 2 crutches and he's out there putting weight on it using 1 crutch. He's a mess, it's Bama's fault and I wouldnt touch him with 40 foot pole. I also dont think he's going to be a very good too in the pros even if he was healthy but that's a different story. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you believe in the pre-injury Tua, then you believe in a Drew Brees caliber QB prospect. So long as medicals are clean (and they must be trending in that direction if he declared) then absolutely you take him. The Draft circuit (outside of the Senior bowl) isn't as big of a deal for QBs... The upside is a million times higher than spending your first on another D linemen, cornerback, etc.. which teams gamble on annually. Look at us. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyjets1969 Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 I think he is making a mistake alot of teams might not be sold on his recovery and he could drop out of the top 10. Might benefit the Jets if some QB desperate team that's drafting late first would want to trade up with the Jets to grab him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
