Update: Tua entering NFL draft

[t96]

I’d take him at 7 if his injury checks out and that should be known pretty well by the draft. Then you start Cam this year and if he’s healthy and balls out you can trade one of the two of them for a large haul.

Aside from completing 71% of his passes in 9 games this year (33 TDs. 3 ints) I really like this kid based on the presser.

I equate this announcement to dropping from #7 overall to #6 in the draft.  

It could mean more.

Chuck picked a lousy time to have a meltdown.

At least we don't have to get spammed with that same clapping gif over and over.

Yep, Tua to the draft. Should we draft or should we ditch?

Ditch

You think he's better than Burrow?

He is hands down for the last 3 years. Burrows one great season is impressive but Tua is an elite QB Birrow does nothing better then Tua imo based off the last 3 years.

If he looks good medically we don’t have a chance of getting him unless we trade up. Not so sure I even want a guy who can’t stay on the field.

I wouldn’t take him at 7, if we do shitty next season we can easily get fields or Lawrence and they both have a higher ceiling than Tua

Dude is made of glass. We’d have a Carson wentz on our hands. You don’t draft a qb who has had this many injuries when our starting qb has the same issues right now. It’s way too risky.

[trucpfan]

Second best news of the day, he should be our pick if possible atleast that moves down the big DT and Alabama wr I hope puts the draft in our lap at seven.

I dunno.  Right after the fresh ban, a brand new member with suspect name has appeared posting right where he left off.  Are IP Bans an actual thing?  It's years overdue.

I think he's going to be good.  Injury prognosis was good and deemed minimal so he should be back working out in March/April.  I'm just really interested on what happens with him.  As Darth said, the skills are complete.  "From what they've seen in New York, everything looks good" but he said he'll know for sure come March so teams will know pre-draft. 

I don't have a hard opinion one way or another on our path forward on the QB front but if we can get him, the sheer value is incredible and we still keep Cam.  We can still stock up on lineman in 6 other rounds and the FA.

Having a franchise QB and his heir apparent on a roster is a franchise's dream. I would take it in a heartbeat.

[DubE_4MR]

It's the right decision for him. We'll see what the Panthers pre-draft interest in him will be. 

[Borat]

If I’m the Panthers, I move up and draft, then let him sit behind Newton until he’s fully healthy. Then nailed-on starter from ‘21 onwards.

In a weird way, it’s probably in Panthers best interest if he’s still kind of hurt but not too badly.

Totally.  I personally like the BPV route in round 1 over need and BPA.  Of course it's all in consideration of needs but if you grab a guy that could be a cornerstone, the added value is immense and it just gives you so much more breathing room for retooling a franchise.  The Lions are likely licking their chops for a trade partner about now.  Now, I don't know if we're the team to do it, but this just makes things really interesting.
