Do you expect him to translate into our pre snap/progression read, mostly single back WCO or do you change the offense into an RPO/shotgun with some WCO concepts like he ran in Alabama?

Cause there's a lot of projection there.

IMO that was part of the problem with Rosen. He's more of a spread offense/pre snap QB but he struggles with progressions and protections. Rosen would have done well in Philbin's offense.

On the other hand I think I've seen Tua assign protections in Alabama.

If we do change into an RPO then you may not need Fitzpatrick anymore.

Maybe we could flip both Rosen and Fitz for picks, albeit either will probably amount to trading up from a 6th to a 4th at this point.

Mariota's demise was the transition to an I form O but he excelled in the RPO.

With the left handedness thing and athleticism they both posses it would only make sense.

If we draft Tua you IR him immediately and have Fitz and Rosen man Qb for one more year.

In that case, would you use the year he's sitting to try and get him used to working under center and turn his back on the defense or would you then switch to an RPO/shotgun?

Traditional Pro style offense. I would only want him to run if necessary on PA rollouts or escaping a pass rush.
 
IR for the year, with a conditioning program to "try" to alter his body. He is simply is too heavy-footed not to continuously suffer lower body injuries. Anything before the 3rd round would seem to be an over investment considering the IF/THEN conditionals on him as a player.

Let's say we don't draft him, and everyone gets over this fixation with an often injured QB, who may, or may not return to previous form, amd is too high of a risk, on which, to use a top 5 pick.

Let's say we do draft him and get over this non sense of not risking a pick on proven QB's at the college level.

If Tua is even half the QB he was in college for us the pick is worth it. There is a risk he will never return to form but that is why he isn't going #1, because otherwise he would be, and Alabama would be in the CFP.

Statements like the part bolded just show the irrationality that permeates the minds of Tua worshippers.

"Half the QB"?

Really??????

What a stupid comment. You don't IR him immediately if you think he can be healthy enough to play next year. None of us know how is recovery is going to go at this point. They should have a better idea how he is coming along by the time the draft rolls around in April though.
 
I think we are picking a QB later in the first round. After the we win today, Detroit losses Washington wins, we'll be picking 4th or 5th anyway. I think Miami, Detroit and Washington all lose their last game so we should stay at pick 4 or 5 pending SOS. Cincinnati and Detroit take a QB ahead of us.
