Cam vs. Tua

[Forty-Eight]

Tua Tagovailoa

if tua is there you take him.  cam being here has no impact on that.  then solidify the interior of the line because its easier than finding tackles.   its gonna take a minute to fix this team.  left handed is something d's don't see very often.  it'll turn into an advantage.   missing on a qb isn't the death sentence it use to be.  its not a problem any more.  he's worth the risk.

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.

Replace our currently injury-prone QB with a smaller, more frequently injury-prone QB.

GENIUS.

NOONE WOULD EVER GUESS THIS SNEAKY STRATEGY.

Well we would probably lose all our Auburn fans

Doubtful.

There are plenty of Bama players I would love to see this team draft.

Just because Tua isn't one of them doesn't mean I'm against drafting Bama players.  I really wanted center Ryan Kelly in the 2016 draft, but he was off the board by the time the Panther's picked in the 1st round.  I wanted O.J. Howard in 2017, but I can't knock the CMC pick over him.  Wanted OT Jonah Williams in this last draft but, again, he was gone when we picked.

I just don't want a small, injury-prone QB who I believe (and its just my opinion) primarily looks good due to all the outstanding pieces around him.  Period.

I'm not a scout, and certainly don't have access to the medicals, but if he checks out both physically, and mentally, and he slides...I wouldn't have a major issue taking him, in fact I would probably like to.

That said, I would prefer a veteran journeyman, a trade back in the 1st to acquire more picks, and really go after the offensive line.  When we start the rebuild, I hope we start it there.

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.

So true, all 4 of those guys are getting picked pretty early IMO.  Best WR corps I can remember in college football.  Amazing.

They also have two potential 1st round OL in Alex Leatherwood and Jedrick Wills.

so y'alls argument is it helps a qb a lot to have great wr's and a good o-line, and that's why we shouldn't take tua?

I'll repeat my very clear "argument" for you since you seem to have missed it right above:

gotcha.   if he's there we gotta take him.

Would probably be able to draft Tua with a pick traded for Cam and potentially more and still have our original picks
