I find myself wondering if tua's ankles will ever again play six games in a row at 100%.

Before ankle #1, nfl gms were imagining tua in their uni holding super bowl xxx which is his 3rd in 6 years. Mvp twice. And no doubt.

Looks as likely now that hes picked after burrow and oregon qb justin herbert. Bama needs him at 98%+ to deal with aubie who is good and real rival.
106 fg return lives forever in my happy place.
No tua? I got aubie straight up.

Edited to add j Herbert.
Jeez.

Referred to as oregon qb in media.
Justin Herbert

Defeated by aubie.

Oregon hopes auburn beats bama.

I can’t see how drilling two holes through the bone to speed up an injury that does not require surgery in the first place is good.

Tua sacrifices long term for Saban short term.

Jalen Hurts seems to be doing okay. The ankle that got the surgery on Tua last year seems to be doing okay. Are you a doctor?

I honestly think Tua will be a mid first round pick

He disappears in the biggest games

Tua might drop, but not for Herbert. He has a ton of issues with his game, and is not improving week to week.

If i was Tua, i would leave school, Agent would get him set up with an NFL approved trainer, get him healthy and keep him in shape. They could monitor him till draft, and he wouldn't lose the spot most have him at now.

He continues to play on that ankle sprain, it can get much worse, and fighting the ankle, can lead to other injuries, trying to over compensate for the ankle. We see this shite play out all the time.

This is basically what happened with Fournette in 2016. He should have just sat the first few games (sprained the ankle about 2 weeks before the season started) instead of continuing to play at 85% and re-injuring the ankle several different times. No point in doing that for short term success when you're guaranteed to be a high draft pick regardless if you play or not. Honestly wouldn't shock me to see Mac Jones playing this weekend.

I dont feel like NFL QB take the same hits as college QB. Teams gameplan better to ensure this is the case. I may be wrong though.

Um, yes they do, and they're hit harder by bigger and stronger players.
