Tua Tagovailoa News Thread

[PA Tide Fan]

I’m guessing: 2 or 26 (when was the last time a QB wore a number in the 20s?

I remember John Hadl wearing #21 for the San Diego Chargers. He might have been the last. I think there is a rule now that a NFL QB cannot wear any number greater than #19.

Correct.

From the NFL rulebook

ARTICLE 2. PLAYERS NUMBERED BY POSITION. All players must wear numerals on their jerseys in accordance with Rule 5, Section 4, Article 3, Item 3. Such numerals must be by playing position, as follows:
(a) quarterbacks, punters, and placekickers: 1–19;
(b) running backs and defensive backs: 20–49;
(c) centers: 50–79;
(d) offensive guards and tackles: 60–79;
(e) wide receivers: 10–19 and 80–89;
(f) tight ends and H-backs: 40–49 and 80–89;
(g) defensive linemen: 50–79 and 90–99;
(h) linebackers: 40–59 and 90–99

This is just a dumb rule.

I like it.

Glad he got the good report from the Drs. on his recovery. Probably confirms he did the right thing, assuming he's picked in the early part of the first round, which most predict.

With this news, he should be able to throw before the draft.

And the unpredictability begins. Rumors starting to swirl that Dolphins maybe shifting their focus to Hebert and moving on from Tua. Durability issues are starting to enter the conversations.

They don’t want to have to trade up for him.

 

[B1GTide]

They don’t want to have to trade up for him.

Or they could be trying to undermine his value so they don't have to trade up for him. These people lie with a purpose.

 

[RollTide_HTTR]

It's lying season. Basically can't trust anything right now. Could be true but there is just no way of knowing.

They will throw out lies out there to keep anyone take Tua.

Or it is true and they are considering Hebert over Tua. This is what makes this time of year so fun. All the sportsmanship that goes on in the media. But no doubt this teams use the media to do a lot of things.

It's multi-million dollar recruiting with the sides flipped!!! Who's going to choose me, not who am I going to choose...

 

[JustNeedMe81]

let's not forget one thing... We've heard rumors of Tua may going #1, #5, drafted later rounds, etc. We won't know anything until April, but if Tua aces the interviews at combine, then that should mean he'll be a lock to be gone after top 10

There are also rumors that with the CT scan, Tua May be pushing Burrow as the #1 overall. It has been said that without the injuries, Tua would. Be #1 overall. I’ve read articles that the Lions, Chargers , Dolphins and Bengals are interested in Him. Here is an NFL Network analyst that has Tua as the #1 rated available Draft/FA QB for 2020

If he goes to the right team, and I think the Dolphins May be that team, he could be a huge star! With his humble demeanor and electric smile his endorsement deals could easily surpass his NFL contract!

He could also get crushed playing with a crappy team...I pray that Tua has a long successful career...that may be better served getting drafted in the second half of the first round...
