Tua coming back....

Not seeing this actually confirmed anywhere but here's to both of his knees and ankles getting permanently blown up during the first contact he faces in practice.

Neg away if you like but this kid has been bought and paid for, his family is dirty as **** AND it's horrible for the actual competitive balance of college football when certain schools get away not only with buying recruits but now paying players to stay.

But no worries as this will be instantly spun by the SEC apologist media and consumed by simpleton fans as the kid just loving Baga and the college life. Yup another Matt Leinart here. Nothing to see. Move along!
 
Dolphins are not using a top draft pick on a QB with a bad leg. Was not going to happen. Since draft picks have set salaries now, there is a huge financial drop between going top 3 and getting picked in the 15-25 range, which is where Tua would probably fall due to the questions about his effectiveness after the knee injury.


It is a better financial decision for him to go back to college, show he is healthy, Bama probably makes playoffs next year and he very likely goes 1-2 with Trevor Lawrence and makes 33 mil with 22 guarantee vice 12 mil with 7 guaranteed if he ends up going 20th.

I’m no scout but I never saw Tua as a savior. I enjoy Burrows play and think he’ll be good but don’t have him on Sunshine’s level potential wise.
 
Leinhert came back as well, although he was pegged as the #1 overall prospect. But he came back for two reasons:

1. He really enjoyed school, and his team

2. He wanted to be the first modern QB to win 3 National Titles in a row.

Honestly, maybe Tua felt he needed to come back to prove himself and to improve his stock. It’s just much easier to come back to a loaded team w a great coach v. an unstable program.
