And this is why I don't believe an NFL team is going to use a top 15 to 20 pick on him. It's too important of a position to assume he's going to get back to elite ability.

What is usually misunderstood is that these guys like Kiper and Mcshay are using info from former scouts and former GMs and rarely using info on the people that are there now. Also they don’t take into account of each organization’s strategy. They usually plug a perceived need based on how they rate players.

Point is anyone putting Tua as a Top 15 pick is doing so based purely on his qb ranking and not because inside sources are indicating that someone is seriously looking at him in the top 15. I just find it hard to believe that he is a sure fire top 15 without going to combine.

Could Tua solidify his draft prospects if he returns and is brought along slowly like suggested above. Say Mac starts the season and Tua is reintroduced a little at a time to demonstrate abilities have not gone away, and show he can take a beating and by LSU time he is ready to start. I think Mac could make the adjustment and know that Young is going to take over the following season. Lia is not destined to be the starter and may transfer. But I'd rather have Young anyway. Like all of you, I'd sure like to see him in Crimson again.

That would be interesting if Tua did return. Let him play in the 4 big games like UGA (if physically ready), LSU, and Auburn, etc. Mac and Bryce could get most of the playing time otherwise, unless Taulia somehow emerges better than them. Then all would be ready for the SEC championship (let Kirby prepare for 3 QB) and beyond. LOL. :)

Does blue font not work anymore? comments about Tua coming back, but sitting out all but the big games has me curious? Players need snaps to get better and team chemistry. It would set a terrible example to the team.

It's all conjecture man. All of us coaches and sports medicine practicioners have too much time on our hands so psycho babble is fun and engaging. ;)

Because next year for the Tide is all about proving to the NFL that Tua can play.

I remember one draft several years back when Kiper missed on all his early projections. He sat there and pouted as pick after pick was made which didn't agree with his opinions and making sarcastic remarks, criticizing the GMs who didn't agree with him... :)

I think it might have been 2016. That was a weird draft that everyone was wrong. This board went crazy that night as well.

I have wondered for years what idiot labeled him a "draft expert". Also, why espn continues to cater to his whiney petulant little tantrums when GMs and teams do not agree with his draft picks.
