More leverage than Elway or Manning? BS. Elway and Manning were two healthy QBs. Can't have more leverage than that.
The kid needs to heal first. I doubt he is worried right now if he should or should not enter the draft and what team may or may not draft him.
His worry is (or should be) surgery and rehab first and foremost. Once he is pressured into something (especially from his family) it could get worse before it gets better.

Here is a good article on the injury....

That is one team I most definately don’t want to see him at. I’d rather him return for his senior season at Bama.

Really seems like this is nothing to do with him being 'injury-prone' and just a freak accident. Interesting part is it not meaning that he'll be more susceptible to similar injuries in the future, but also scary when you read about everything that could go wrong.
 
Tbaum just made the case why Miami will use its battle chest to get Tua at a low price If.... If..., Tua declares which I doubt is going to happen

Miami has Fitz and is not competing for POs next year - Tua can sit in Miami’s barn just as easily as the Pats barn
 
The biggest obstacle is Tua will have to declare for the draft by Jan 20. He won't even be full weight bearing by Jan 20. There is no way you can gamble on a franchise QB with such a high trauma unique injury if you are the Dolphins. If it goes wrong the franchise is smoked for another 5 years min. At best the kid sees a field in 2021.

That injury definitely has nothing to do with injury prone (and I accused him of that before). It was a freak accident. Will he be injury prone in the future with that hip? Who knows. Not even the doctors know. Nobody can say how long it will take or if he will ever play again or if he will ever be the same. There is a minimum healing time before he can put any stress on the hip (if all goes well). That's all we know.

Now it is up to Tua to show everybody the middle finger and say "me first". Nobody should put pressure on the kid - not the media, not the family, not the NFL, not the fans - nobody.

If he would enter the 2020 draft (which I highly doubt) as a GM of the Dolphins I would not pick him unless he would fall to the 5th round or later. A team with so many needs can simply not waste a high pick on a QB who may or may not return to football in a couple years and if he ever returns not knowing if he will be anything close to what he was. I would gamble that this would be someone else problem.
 
If Tua starts to slide because of his injury, I have zero doubts he ends up in New England. Saban and Belichick are buddies and he’d have a season to rehabilitate while Brady finishes his career.
 
New England certainly will look at big picture and not overreact to the extent other teams will. Not even close. They know the next step for them is to find Brady's replacement, so Belichick will be motivated to keep coaching.

I think it would be absolutely hysterical if some of the posters here who have questioned and demoted Tua all along, and basically ridiculed any suggestion that he's still worthy of a high pick, would suddenly switch into fright mode if the Patriots took him.

But that's what adjusters are capable of. It essentially defines the term.
 
That would be great. They use resources to draft him because his NFL career won’t last 16 games.
