Tua to Saints

this is a discussion within the Saints Community Forum; Unrelated injury but he wasn't "right" vs LSU either. I hope all goes well for Tua in his surgery/rehab. Modern medicine is remarkable these days so all the best to him going forward....

No. You didn't just mention Dak and Drew in the same sentence. HAD to be a brain hiccup! LOL

Re: Tua to Saints

I never liked Tua, I dont like any Alabama QB, but Tua wont make it in the NFL even when healthy, neither will Jalen Hurts in OK.

Re: Tua to Saints

It isn't a bad theory that Tua is very injury prone. I think he is more injury prone that the typical QB, specially in his legs and butt(which greatly need some muscle added to them). The two surgeries he had will make it far less likely that he will ever have the same injury again in either leg. If you notice how he actually fell in that game, he kind of trapped his leg and knee and it pushed into his hip... which is why it dislocated. He tries to do too much when he's about to be hit. This injury had nothing to do with his physique or his bodies proneness to injury, but trying to do too much and fall in an incorrect way. QBs have to know how to get hit. You ever notice when Brees is about to be hit, he puts his body in a very tight, tucked position. This is something that has been learned, and Tua needs to learn it as well. I love Saban as a coach, but he's not the greatest when it comes to developing QBs. Payton would work wonders with Tua. I think Burrow has the highest ceiling in the draft, but celings don't matter if you don't have the right teacher. I think Payton and Tua would work well together.
