MaybeReally a bummer for him. His NFL career is over before it started.

Is there any incentive for players who already know they'll be top five draft picks to play their final year any more? After bosa went 2nd overall last year every player with a top ten projection should sit out with an "injury" in order to be healthy. At least until the ncaa starts letting the players profit off the gazillions it makes off them.Trevor Lawrence should never step on the field for Clemson again. Hope Tua had an insurance policy
My guess is that if anyone was pushing for Tua to play, it was Tua, not Saban.So some people are questioning why he even played today or why he is playing when Alabama up big. People said he was limping in pregame. Was sabah pushing for a big blowout.
What do you base this on? Is their some pregame speak?My guess is that if anyone was pushing for Tua to play, it was Tua, not Saban.
Had that same thoughtHe will probably fall to the Patriots and take over for Brady
Because competitive athletes have been begging and pressuring their coaches to let them back on the field since the beginning of sports.Why and what do you feel that way? Is their some pregame speak?
for guys like Tua there really isn't. College FB is a scam once a player is projected to go top 5-10. they should sit out and stop playing for free when they get in that position.Is there any incentive for players who already know they'll be top five draft picks to play their final year any more?

The NCAA is a scam since 5-10 athletes (out of hundreds of thousands) "only" get a free education, world class coaching/facilities/training/nutrition/equipment/medicine/etc, elite competition, and a global stage to showcase their talents.for guys like Tua there really isn't.

College FB will still be fine once the small group of top players start sitting out junior year. It's such a small group the NCAA can still run their scam and be fine.
Alabama officially announced Saturday night that junior QB Tua Tagovailoa suffered a dislocated right hip during the Crimson Tide's win over Mississippi State.
Tagovailoa (6'1/218) went down late in the second quarter, and according to team orthopedic surgeon Dr. Lyle Cain the dislocation was immediately reduced at the stadium. Shortly thereafter he was flown to St. Vincent Medical Center in Birmingham for more tests to determine the best way to treat the injury. According to Dr. Cain, Tagovailoa will miss the remainder of the season but is expected to make a full recovery.

My daughter broker her hip when she fell in our kitchen a few years ago (freak accident kind of thing). Anyway, the doctors told us of the potential blood flow issue and that we might not know about it for up to a year IIRC.Bo's hip injury led to a low of blood flow to the area that damaged bone and cartilage. But I think they didn't discover the problem until a few weeks after the injury.
I'm guessing 28 years later they've got better techniques and are on high alert got such things regarding Tua.
Yikes, maybe my guess is wrong then...Here's to hoping!My daughter broker her hip when she fell in our kitchen a few years ago (freak accident kind of thing). Anyway, the doctors told us of the potential blood flow issue and that we might not know about it for up to a year IIRC.
What was the impact on her draft projections?My daughter broker her hip when she fell in our kitchen a few years ago (freak accident kind of thing). Anyway, the doctors told us of the potential blood flow issue and that we might not know about it for up to a year IIRC.
Yeah, I hope I'm wrong about that timeline too - either way sucks for Tua and I feel bad for him.Yikes, maybe my guess is wrong then...Here's to hoping!
(Your daughter ended up okay?)
full recovery for normal life is probably a big difference than being able to play NFL football after a busted hip.....This might work out better for tua. He wont go to a dumpster fire team and might be able to sit for awhile ala rodgers
I know. I'm just hoping he still gets a chance to play in the leaguefull recovery for normal life is probably a big difference than being able to play NFL football after a busted hip.....
My limited understanding is that the hospital is a relatively short flight via airlift, compared to a 2.5 hour drive, and has some of the best ortho care in the country, hence the decision.I can't ever remember seeing a football player airlifted to a hospital. That's usually reserved for near fatal circumstances.

The fact that they are doing surgery today and not immediately on Saturday would seem to refute that idea.A fractured hip is a medical emergency where time matters.
I'm sure he has one. Anyone who makes approximately zero now but is expected to make tens of millions in the coming years should have something in place.Willis McGahee bought a $2,500,000 insurance policy for $20,000 just 2 weeks before he had a severe knee injury in the 2003 Fiesta Bowl. The family took out a loan for the premium. I didn't realize the timing until just now. He entered the draft instead of collecting. I'm pretty sure Drew "show me the money" Rosenhaus played a role in the insurance policy.
I wonder if Tua had an insurance policy.

He was already drafted in devy leagues 1-2 years agoJohnnyU said:Bo Jackson? Where will he be drafted in devyy and rookie drafts?
The dislocated part is the medical emergency.Gandalf said:A fractured hip is a medical emergency where time matters.
Not in my 3 devy leagues. Of course they are start 1 qb leagues. The top devy rbs and wrs are gone however. Trevor Lawrence is gone too.He was already drafted in devy leagues 1-2 years ago
That's what I expect to happen.trader jake said:What are the odds Tua does NOT declare for the NFL draft this year, rehabs for a year, and then enters the following season? This year his stock could take a huge hit, and he'd be subjected to a lot of (possibly too) early medical evaluation. Instead give it a year to get back to form and come out next season when only Lawrence at #1 overall seems like a solid bet.
Lawrence is the QB to have in 2021. I have no doubts about that. He's the best NFL QB prospect since Andrew Luck.That's what I expect to happen.
Fields has also passed Lawrence in the consensus so that would be a pretty ridiculously good QB class.
I don't necessarily disagree. I'm just seeing Fields as the number 1 2021 QB everywhere now and he was right behind Trevor as a high school prospect.Lawrence is the QB to have in 2021. I have no doubts about that. He's the best NFL QB prospect since Andrew Luck.
