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

[Rocko]

I don’t watch college football, but I’ve heard a lot about this kid. It sucks that his dream may have been taken away from him.

Sad news for any football fan. The guy was a serious talent. Hope he can recover

I know there have been improvements in sports medicine, but my initial thoughts are if Bo couldn’t come back from this injury I don’t think any athlete can.

 

[MarathonMike]

Oh no, that's horrible! Well you wonder with advancements in hip replacement surgery is that an option?

As I remember Bo Jackson, it was the blood flow into the hip that couldn’t be restored. Don’t know if medical practice has improved but it is bad news for Tua

I am not sure an artificial hip can take the pounding

 

[Defiant1]

Very sad.
I was afraid that's what it was when I watched it.

Sad day for Tua and his family. Time for him to move past football. Football isn't worth being a cripple even though I love the game.

Best wishes ............

Maybe we'll get to see what his little brother can do.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

Football is violence. Poor guy.

 

[MarathonMike]

It doesn't have to be the same result. Lots of advances in the last 30 years. Let's hope his outcome is different than Bo.

 

[rightwinger]

They are now saying that Tua should recover
Good news

Sometimes when it is late in the season & you are winning 35-7, maybe play the backup.

Part of winning is being healthy. Don't be stupid.

Monday Morning Quarterbacking
You can’t play trying not to get injured

 

[Persistence Of Memory]

Never know when your last play will be

I hope this ends the ridiculous "Tanking for Tua" BS that has been going on in the NFL

The doctors have reported that the surgery on Tua went just as planned he will be transported back to Tuscaloosa to begin rehab. The doctors expect a full recovery.

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.
