Alabama’s QB suffered a career threatening hip injury similar to Bo Jackson’s

Tua is an amazing player but a huge liability. I would have never wanted him on my team in the first place. You can hit him in the shoulder with a piece of balled up paper and he will break an ankle.

As a Bama fan, I have loved watching Tua play. But he makes you pay attention to who his backup is.

I look at him as the next RGIII

Hope not.

I have been watching the story, as a Bama fan, since the injury. A couple of things to bear in mind.

#1 - The doctors said he will make a full recovery.
#2 - The question is whether or not he come back to Alabama or goes for the NFL.
#3 - I keep hearing he will fall down in the draft.
#4 - I keep hearing that Tua needs to go for the money now.

#3 and #4 are the biggest things to discuss.

First of all, if he falls down in the draft it will be good for him. Who gets first pick? The shittiest team. Drop down 8 or 10 spots and get with a good team, so there will be quality players around him, and good coaches that will be there.

Second of all, nobody makes the big money on their first contract. It is their second or third contract that the big bucks come. If he survives, he will have the bank.

He is damaged goods right now. He will carry the label injury prone

His best bet may be #2, play another year at Alabama and show you are good as ever. The money will be there
