The reason i bring up Bama QB's is cause in college, they are all touted in the media as the greatest in the nation (of course under Saban's program, they flourish) and because of this, the NFL drools all over them and can't draft them fast enough. Tua is good, nothing great.......he was an accident waiting to happen in college and in the NFL?.......well, the nation is seeing how that's playing out presently, but people who follow college ball routinely have been saying how frail he was for the NFL caliber D's. Hurts, although he was the starter at Bama for a couple of years, technically was drafted into the NFL from UO. Young is too small for the NFL and Carolina, blinded by Bama QB college greatness snatched him up as the next Panther savior.......and how's that working out for them? AJ McCarron.......and nothing more needs to be said here. .......and the rest on that list, is nothing to write home about.

Here's the list of the past 10 Bama QB's (i could have gone all the way back to 20)......you see any NFL standouts in there?

Don't kid yourselves, not a lot of people were too high on Stroud either.

Just one more example of another Bama QB that can't transition to the NFL.

Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
Sweats replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
I know when i had to have neck surgery, the doctors made me sign a waiver that they would not be held liable if they damaged some nerves and i ended up paralyzed........seems reassuring, doesn't it? I didn't sign it and they wouldn't do the surgery until i signed it.......it's been 8 years and counting where i am still waiting to have the surgery. They won't do the surgery until i sign and i ain't signing it. -
All i know is that i just watched the KC-Bengals highlights and why do they show Taylor Swift every 2 minutes........in the highlights of the game. I can see showing Swift periodically during the actual game, but why show anything with her during the highlights? #disgusting

You don't want to know what's in the "secret sauce".

Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
Sweats replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
Any doctor worth their sauce would get Tua to sign an agreement to not be held responsible for any outcome, if Tua should decide to keep playing. -
In a presser one time, McDaniel said something along the lines that his wife has a lot of patience with him because who else would hang out with a 40 year old guy who still plays with Lego........not that there's anything wrong with that, however, i thought it strange for him to mention it in a presser and not his NFL highlights......or lack thereof.

I'm saying NYG/WAS under 43.5

Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
Sweats replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
i'll give an example from my own experience.... I played junior B hockey in Canada for a couple of years when i was in my teens. I was an average player, nothing special, but i could check like it was nobody's business......i was also checked many times while i had my head down (1st thing they teach you in hockey is to always keep your head up and have it on a swivel). I was concussed numerous times, but back then like 40 years ago it was like anything, rub a little dirt on it and get back out there. My coaches ended up telling me to maybe move on, as the concussions were piling up and it was affecting my play.....and i hung it up. You know what i did after that?........what any logical human being would do after being concussed numerous times, i joined a boxing club. I had two semi-pro bouts, lost one, won the other.......Arnie Boehm, my boxing coach came to me and said i should hang up the gloves (he could tell that past concussions were affecting my speech, my movement, etc. and he didn't want to be responsible if i got seriously hurt in the ring). So, i walked away from sports.......i was done. Fast forward to today, i have dealt with debilitating migraines since my early 20's........like, i'm talking like these headaches will knock me out for days. I have slurred speech and sometimes act erratically. It's the buildup of concussion trauma......i know it, the doctors know it, however there's nothing they can do about it with so much time after the fact. My opinion is that Tua should look at retirement........he has money, he has family, and sports aren't everything when your health is at risk......especially long-term health and affects. -
Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
Sweats replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
Of course they can't "force" him to retire, but they can give him a little nudge.....they can definitely suggest to players and organizations and agents, when a player should start looking at retirement over health concerns. Tua is one major hit away from drinking out of a sippy cup and riding the short bus the rest of his life......i don't wish that on anyone. -
Tua’s Broken Dome (now being placed on IR-out at least 4 games)
Sweats replied to RunTheBall's topic in The Stadium Wall
This is a good topic for me to chime in one...... The Fins have been irresponsible with Tua's safety in the past......they know it, Tua knows it, the league knows it and yet, no one steps in. The league promotes the concussion protocol, which they have upped their standards as of late and yet, a guy like Tua gets shrugged off and thrown back into the games. The whole Fins organization should be ashamed of themselves, the league should get looked at and force Tua into retirement before he cripples himself. Also, Tua's head dive on Thursday night was irresponsible from a guy with prior concussions. He should have slid, he was shown how to slide properly and i believe he was trying to play "hero ball", due to his 2 previous INT's and trying to do too much. My 2 cents.- 495 replies

Wanted out of Minny and eventually wanted out of Buffalo, so leading anything other than being a cancerous, "me first" stat means nothing to a team mentality. Don't even get me started on trading for Diggs when we could have taken Jefferson debate.

I seriously never understood the trade to bring him over here in the first place........i didn't like him in Minny, hated it even more on the Bills.

Honestly, i have no idea what's going on with that franchise.......it's actually kind of refreshing as years ago, i used to say the same thing about my Bills.

Bills vs Jags Game Week Thread - MNF
Sweats replied to Royale with Cheese's topic in The Stadium Wall
We never match up with the Jags well, however with that being said, i love when the Bills play them as the Jags are somewhat of a barometer for this team because we rarely beat them these days and they always play us tough. -
Well, seeing as how this is Brady's 2nd go and not fairing real well the Carolina in the first place, i would have to say Babich.....i think in a couple of years if Brady can prove himself a little more, then he will be a top candidate, but i don't think the rest of the league has put him on that pedestal just yet.

If you could get a day 2 pick for Cook would you pull the trigger…
Sweats replied to julian's topic in The Stadium Wall
You sure about that? When Cook was at Georgia, he was known as a RB who could catch, not as a WR that could be a RB.......and to say that NO ONE expected him to become the type of RB he has become is a truly false statement. Many people expected Cook to finally put it all together and "turn it on", albeit it has taken longer than most had expected and hoped, however, he is doing exactly what he was supposed to do since coming into the NFL, which is why he was a draft candidate in the first place. I'm not sure where you thought you were going with your post, however....... -
Now don't get me wrong, but shouldn't we be more focused on charitable events promoting employment opportunities or food banks or shelters for the poor and homeless, etc. in a stagnant economy where people in our local communities are hurting and suffering? I'm just saying, maybe look at your own local charity opportunities. You want to help someone?........start in your own community. My opinion.

All i know is that our D detained Hill faster than the police after the 1st quarter
-
Sadly, the Fins will clear Tua no matter the circumstances and he will continue to play, even when the rest of the league thinks he should hang it up.......they've done it before in the past, which tells me they will continue to do it unless the league steps in.

.......acceptance is the first step.

Are you the guy who messes with all my stuff?.......
