Cam vs. Tua

Gimme a healthy Cam. Next question. 

This. Tua is injury prone and a little undersized. People need to look at his WR's YAC. He hits slants and the receivers do the rest of the work. Jeudy/Ruggs/Smith will all be taken in the first three rounds of the draft. Hell, Waddle might even get a look.

I’m not sure they can determine this soon whether or not he can or will develop osteonecrosis. An angiogram might lead you to believe that there’s no significant vascular injury to the femoral head, but I’m not sure it would be definitive. 

Holy poo. Did someone just say science on this board?

I have a bit of background in this area, but not really in musculoskeletal injuries.

I still don’t think he will get drafted. He was minutes away from dying by every news report. He’s glass dude, worse than Manzel glass. Only a desperate team would take that risk. 

I checked multiple mocks today and saw him going around the 8-12 range which is what prompted the thread actually. Apparently plenty of analysts believe he'll slip, but not a ton

If Tua is there when we pick (probably 10 or later) then we should take him. I know he has had injuries but he would have been the number 1 pick the last two years if he was available. The potential is worth the risk. If he isn’t there you roll with Cam in my opinion.

Tua is playing with maybe the greatest WR core ever assembled in college FB

[Rubi]

He’s had 4 surgeries in college?

Dealing w the Cam stuff you’d think the team would want someone not held together by glue and tape and sticks

Build the OL, then we can talk about getting another QB with a high risk of injury.

Next year we need to focus on the trenches.

This is pretty close to my thinking, but I'm at about 49% Draft Tua, 51% Still Roll With Cam. Tua falling to 8-12 would be some incredible value and it's super tempting to pair him with a new coach just like we did in 2011. I can't fully commit to it though until we know for sure Cam is DONE done. And Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence will be available in 2021 and Sam Howell in 2022...you don't HAVE to draft a QB because more will be coming down the pipeline.

Aside from the injuries, Tua is a left handed quarterback

For whatever reason, it seems to be impossible to be a good passer in the NFL throwing left handed.  I used to dismiss it as coincidence, bu there's just way too much data right now.

The pass left handed qb of the past 20 years was Vick, but even he wasn't a very good passer.

The Golden Calf of Bristol and Leinart were huge busts.  You have to go back nearly 40 years to find a successful left handed QB

Awful take.  Good lord.

Don’t get me wrong I’m not knocking him. I don’t watch/pay attention to college until the bowls. But judging by the injury and what was said. It doesn’t bode well at all for his prospects.
