Tua to Saints

vpheughan · 11-17-2019, 07:45 AM

You need to look no further than the Saints to know that an apparently catastrophic injury need not be a career ending one.

"This surgery was an absolute gut test, a test of what you're made of, and I've seen it break people down. I never saw it break Teddy down. ... Most people have no idea the volume of the workload this kid had to put in. He had a toothpick of a leg he had to rebuild."
Dan Cooper, Teddy Bridgewater's surgeon.

"But it's certainly the worst knee dislocation in sports I've ever seen without having a nerve or vessel injury," Cooper said. "It's an injury that about 20-25 percent of NFL players are able to come back from. ... It's a horrific injury. You've torn every single thing in your knee and it's hanging on by one ligament on one side like a hinge."

Bridgewater had been referred to the surgeon by former Cowboys coach Bill Parcells, who had become something of a father confessor to the quarterback. Parcells told the doctor that Bridgewater was one of the greatest kids he'd ever met.[/I]

The trade makes more sense to ME now.

In previous eras a bum hip wouldn't be a major concern for a QB. But now with sports science and Brees and Dak and lots of other QB's concentrating on generating throw power from their hip motion to improve accuracy, it's a much bigger concern.

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

He's not the future in New Orleans. We don't run his type of offense.

Trade all of our draft picks to move from #32 to #1 and draft LSU QB Burrows?

ScottF · 11-18-2019, 01:55 PM

Are we getting Burrows and Tua? I read all 175 replies to the "Brees is Done" thread so I know that we need someone. But do we need both?

If you have been reading correctly, obviously we do.

Present day Troy Aikman / Steve Walsh draft!!

"We need to stop winning immediately and start tanking so we can get Burrow. Drew is messing everything up by trying to pad his stats! Why does Payton hate LSU players!"

Didn't we have "Faith & Hope" for him at one time?
