POLL: Should The Bolts Trade Up For Tua?

[Kingcrimson]

Miami might move up to #1 if feasible.

No they won’t.

[gzubeck]

But what would we have to give up to move to the Lions spot? MIA has a lot more picks to offer them.

Next year’s first.

[Maniaque 6]

I can see the Chargers to offer their 6th and 37th
Then, the Lions could call the Dolphins and have their 5th and 26th
Maybe it will be more expensive ...

Tua Tagovailoa ready to compete without any restrictions
Posted by Charean Williams on March 30, 2020, 5:37 PM EDT

Tua Tagovailoa’s plan to work out for scouts next month and to be re-examined by NFL team doctors has not gone as planned because of the COVID-19 pandemic. The quarterback’s rehab, though, has gone as expected.

Or maybe even better than expected.

Chris Abott, the president and COO of Steinberg Sports & Entertainment, told Eric Edholm of Yahoo Sports that Tagovailoa is fully cleared and “ready to compete without any restrictions.”

Dr. Chip Routt repaired Tagovailoa’s injured hip during a Nov. 18 surgery in Houston. Tagovailoa then returned to Alabama for three months of rehab at the Andrews Sports Medicine & Orthopaedic Center.

Dr. Lyle Cain, an orthopaedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist at the Andrews Center, deems Tagovailoa’s progress remarkable.

“I am extremely pleased,” Cain told Edholm. “If you told me four, almost five, months ago now that he’d be where he is now, I think I would have been very happy. I think he’s done extremely well for where he started out.”

Tagovailoa posted a video to his Twitter account a week ago while working out in Nashville with former NFL quarterback Trent Dilfer.

4 1/2 month heal time seems damn fast.

So apparently we used 2 out of 3 video calls to interview Herbert and Love. I don’t wanna look too much into this but...

To clarify, unless I am mistaken, they can have 3 calls per individual per week. They could face time 20 guys a week, as long as they don't badger one prospect too much. At least I think that is how it works...

Edit: Ooops...looks like Rich addressed that already...anyway, that's how I interpret the quote he gave on the procedure.

gotta admit.... sorta wondering where this "flair" and "exciting" is gonna come from that Tom proclaimed in his presser.... (no Cam, right ?)

It’s coming

Tua in 2020
Saban in 2021
Powder Blue Roll Tide

Kinda feeling, trading up for Tua is all but a done deal. Not sure any other option is near as sexy to management. Tua holding up a new-design Chargers jersey, that shit is gold.

The poster to whom I was responding called Burrow a generational QB. Any notion that Burrow would just come in and set the world on fire is belied by his inability to beat out Haskins and Haskins' struggles, which is all we have to go on so far. I am not suggesting Haskins cannot improve, but he was better than Burrow and has not done squat so far in the NFL. So, yes, Haskins does seem to matter to a degree.

Sometimes QBs can deveop, but sometimes the change in statistical performance reflects more of a team diffrence than an individual difference. That can be difficult to parse, but I think it is sound resoning to note that Burrow is not likely to have the huge advantages in team talent that he had in 2019 at LSU.

Lawrence was not eligible when Murray was drafted, but he had just been the QB on an undefeated national championship team and he has a whole lot more upside than Murray. Again, any GM would have seen that right away. The same holds true versus Burrow.

As for Mahomes, Lawrence has a better, more accurate arm and is a better runner. I think he would have done more at Texas Tech than Mahomes did. He definitely has a higher ceiling than Mahomes based upon superior physcial gifts. If Mahomes is playing for the Bengals, they are still a losing team, though better than they finished in 2019. People tend to give Mahomes way too much credit for what the Chiefs have done. If you compare Mahomes' 2019 stats to Alex Smith's 2017 stats, you will find that they are eerily similar, yet Mahomes is somehow the greatest QB ever and Smith is just some game manager. It is interesting how public perception can cloud objective analysis.

I loved Mahomes at Texas Tech. I'm a bit surprised at how rapidly he's ascended the qb rankings, but i thought he was a franchise type qb.

I don't have the same certainty from what i've seen of Lawrence. If i have time, i'll go into it.
