Right move, IMO. Hope he stays healthy and has a great career.  He's a good kid.

It's a gamble.  Good luck, Tua...

this is good news for us.  If he falls to 32 I wouldn't hesitate...

Good luck to him.

Its really the only move. Can't chance another pounding against strong competition in college on an Alabama team that is losing a bunch of players. Get better as a NFL QB and don't put it off a year.

He mentioned that the NFL personnel guys are treating this like a knee injury...which I assume means they are expecting a similar recovery time...not sure how that conclusion gets drawn due to the infrequent nature of this injury.

Maybe by getting some input from medical professionals. Sometimes it helps to compare it to something more common. He is going to go under thorough medical review for sure.
