Seems most of the college football world is sending well wishes. Focus on the positives.
It is a really interesting scenario to consider the idea that a team like the Patriots could take a shot at him now. Or, may be a team drafting a little earlier, like the Saints.
They may have misspoke but if you cant perform your 'job' anymore, that's not a full recovery so from the statement as is, recovery will allow him to play football later.
I agree - Dr. Cain knows that everyone will read "full recovery" as a return to football. He knows who he was talking to in that tweet. He could have said nothing, but he chose to say that. I believe that it means that Dr. Cain is convinced that Tua will play football at a high level again. It is not a guarantee, but the opinion of a man who does this for a living and is involved in Tua's treatment, so it is the best that we have right now. And it is very good news.
You read between the lines. I was thinking Pats as well. If the Saints let Teddy go (he will demand a lot of money in the off season), they could also look for a future QB replacement.
Either of those would be better choices
Those would be 2 good teams for Tua, assuming he does recover well enough for an NFL future. Even if he is just a backup for awhile, it would be good for him. I am sure Saban will help all he can in convincing teams to take Tua.
Saban and Belichick are friends...,,
Yet not many Bama alum there
WTH does this have to do with Tua's injury or decision to move on to the NFL? Is he of a higher moral character if he stays at Alabama, or goes to the NFL? Does he have more honor or moral integrity if he stays at Alabama or moves on to the NFL. Please enlighten us.
It's phrased badly but I think I know what she means. Knowing the family, I can understand their being motivated by considerations other than money. However, IMO, the largest impediment to Tua's coming back bears the same family name...WTH does this have to do with Tua's injury or decision to move on to the NFL?

I also agree that money is not likely to be the primary consideration. But the posts by him and BB are selfrighteous and insulting.
I don't think they are meant it that way even if it came across that way. What is being stated is that some will put off a path or choose a path that doesn't lead to more material gain. Tua choosing to come back could fall into the putting off side of the equation. It would to some seem to go against the grain of the culture. By the majority of Bama fans it would speak to loyalty and sacrifice on his part. I don't necessarily see it that way. Some people enjoy the college experience or want to accomplish something specific. The Clemson Defensive Linemen are an example to this. They wanted to take one more run at the title, and they got it. That group will always be held in high esteem by the Clemson fan base. They will be seen as sacrificing to reach a goal. Rightly or wrongly that's would without a doubt be the view of the Bama fanbase with Tua. It is one of the reasons Jalen will always be loved by the vast majority of the Bama faithful. He sacrificed and stayed when he could have jumped ship. In the end it was better for him to sit and learn as a QB, and it's paying off handsomely for him this year, but the fans won't remember that.
