His injury may be career threatening. Our front office loves to gamble on injured players. The only time this ever works out for us (since Deuce) is gambling on QBs with injuries so serious they may never play effectively again. If Tua has a Bo Jackson level injury he could fall to the end of the round or later. Teddy may be ready to get paid and Brees may not be ready to hang em up so Tua could be the new successor. Just saying, I know no team more willing to make the gamble than us.

Nope.

Let’s just hope the kid’s ok before we start hoping his draft stock plummets.

Holy smokes that was a quick hot take.

Dude sucked before injury. Besides we have J.T. Barrett waiting to take the reins.

Dislocated hip. Out for the season. Checking for a possible fracture, as well. Not good news for the kid. This is the inherent danger for running QB's.

No thanks. Not to mention he would be stupid to leave this year. He can’t do anything but help is status staying. Did I mention I hate Alabama?

He is injury prone...and he will struggle more that Murray in the NFL...hard pass!

In other news, Baylor just channeled their Inner Falcon and blew a 28-3 lead vs Oklahoma. Dangit Bears.

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.
