Just how concerned are you about Tua's injuries?

[allsilverdreams]

Without the injuries Tua may just have been the number one overall pick.Say what you want about Burrows but Tua has been elite for years now.
Just how bad were the hip injury and the ankle injuries?

 

[artdnj]

Very concerned about the hip...huge unknown. The prior injuries are concerning although to a much lesser extent imo.
It will be a big chance like flipping a coin with the hip you may win or you may lose. That being said, when healthy he can play

I know nothing about anything medical.

I'm as comfortable as the doctors are with it, as long as it isn't the same doctors who made the idiotic call on Drew Brees.

 

[Phinatic8u]

As a fan I have no way to know what will happen to him health wise.

All I know is how good he is on the field.

I think they’re the same But if somebody in the know can answer that I’d be listening

I think anyone who says they aren’t concerned about the injuries would be lying. But you have to roll the dice on a QB, so why not roll it on the guy with the highest ceiling?

True and picking a quarterback is a risky move even if he’s in perfect health

I’m comfortable rolling the dice and drafting Tua at 5 only because we have so much draft capital in the next two drafts. The idea of trading up for Tua, and gambling with the additional capital does not sit well with me.

Exactly.

Lucky for us, we have 3 first round picks this year and 2 next year. We can afford to roll the dice and not have a major setback like a team that spends its whole draft, or mortgages its future to move up and gamble on a guy.

So yea, of course I'm concerned, but lets face it, without that injury, we aint sniffing Tua at 5. Even then, im concerned someone takes him at 2 or 3.

 

[Digital]

I'm not concerned about his injuries at all ... but then again I don't want to draft him. Good kid, good leader, good QB ... but not elite as a thrower, IMHO, and his injury history has me too scared to pull the trigger in the 1st round. I doubt he'll be there in the 2nd.

 

[allsilverdreams]

I don't see him being there for our second pick in round one

 

[artdnj]

I don't see him being there for our second pick in round one

I agree unless there’s slow progress or a question mark on his medical

 

[KBEE]

We have 3 first rounds and 2 seconds, this is the year to swing for the fences.

I'm with you. I agree

I am not a doctor, so let's see where he is less than 2 months from now after he has a physical with nfl doctors at the combine. Supposedly he is to be at the end of his recover then. The draft being moved to may is huge for us, i think we are allowed to have 30 players go through our physicians. Final note, he will not be drafted early by any managers if he has any set backs and fails any of the Drs evaluations or is deemed "NOT ON TRACK".
