Tua has failed two physicals (1 Viewer)

He could see a plummet on draft day.

If he makes it to 24, you almost have to take him.

....not if he can’t pass a physical, you don’t.

 

[soggymoss]

Well, I should say if our doctors have a clean grade on him, or believe he just needs to sit a year

That matters to teams that need him to play this year. We don't. We can have him sit and learn behind Drew for a year, even if it's only at practice.

If he's at 24 I roll the dice. The upside is hard to pass up.

I agree with you 100% he can rehab for a year. I would grab him quick. He has the it factor

Hip injuries are so unpredictable.

Wait. How can he have failed two Physicals when teams are not supposed to be allowed to examine these players at this point. Which doctors are failing him. How is this possible?

Im sure Teddy and Brees’ injuries were unpredictable as well. If Tua has the same work ethic as they do, then he can overcome it.

Teams can hire an outside doctor to give a physical for them.

It's what Tampa did for Tom Brady's physical

I think this guy failed the Dolphins physical, and look how that turned up for us and the Dolphins.

Now that’s true but Drew has been one in how many that we have had on this team come and just be hurt. We don’t need anymore hurt players. We need players like Demario Davis and Cam Jordan that play 16 regular season games and be ready when the playoffs come too.

What specifically are they testing? I don't think anyone thought he would be fully recovered by now.

 

[VA WHO DAT]

This is what scares me as well. I agree with he can sit a year but it's the same injury that ended Bo Jackson. What if he needs longer... I would hate to gamble on that.

Have we had the combine? Yes.

Were some teams able to meet prospects before the lockdown. I believe so.

So opportunity for a few physicals to have occurred.

What's going to be fascinating is whether other team doctors gave him a better medical report and if these two are in the minority. And also of course how risk averse teams are feeling heading into this round of the draft lottery.
