Take off the blinders, man, bad numbers don’t disappear because you don’t like them. And you obviously follow Solak on Twitter, if you’ve got that old pic. I guess you’re following him ironically? Not because you’re interested in his opinion? The comparison of Tua’s numbers to Haskins’ and Rosen’s is “context”.

I actually unfollowed him a long time ago. He’s an arrogant little twirp.


If he’s going to post all those stats, I want context. Comparing him to 2 QBs when there are many more isn’t exactly context.

What does -48.7% mean? He doesn’t even tell us basic shite like that.

If it’s completion %, I can tear his whole argument up rather quickly.

If it’s some other metric, say it and explain it.

He should have also mentioned when making his list of bad numbers, how many of them overlap.

He’s young & likely has a future in this industry but cmon, that’s a hit piece that lacks context if I’ve ever seen one, and I rarely complain about stuff like that

If I’m reading it correctly, the numbers aren’t adding with other analyses

Injuries that require surgery are still injuries.

I think it’s fair to say he’s had a major injury and two minor injuries that led to surgery.

Tua is a good person was great at Alabama but to cross over to the NFL you have to be intelligent.

To be fair, the ankle injuries might've only been surgeries because Alabama doesn't give a frick so they rush them back onto the field. Plenty NFL teams don't even use tightrope surgeries. The new stuff about him breaking his wrist repeatedly in practice should be more concerning.

He’s so stupid that he will never learn to get rid of the ball rather than continuing to take injury causing hits that need surgeries to repair.

I can only think of one all time great QB with a shitty Wonderlic and that’s Dan Marino.


It wouldn't surprise me if Bradshaw's # wasn't in the same neighborhood .

I'll be hated on the Alabama board for this, but he can't handle pressure. Against every top ten defense, he played awful. He had a record 4 first round NFL receivers to throw to, and even then he struggled. Besides the Georgia cfp playoff championship, I can't think of one game where he took the game and regained control. Not to mention he was made of glass. I will be very surprised if he has a successful NFL career.

Teams in the back half of the first doing work to try and drive down that draft stock. Well played.

Payton and Brees might not even be able to develop that mind into an NFL QB
