🏈 Tua forgoes last year of eligibility- entering the 2020 draft.

[#80]

I understand the angst for some Tua is a generational player I believed he was destined to win the Heisman and another NC.
If he stays that's great if he goes I'm happy for the generational wealth it will bring him and his family. He and his family deserves it.
So either way Roll Tide!

I really don’t understand the folks worried about this one or another. Tua has been a model kid with great talent who delivered an NC. He took us back to another nc game and his done it right. If he stays I am happy to have him if he goes he proves Bama is a great place to go, play an, get lots of attention and get a big contract.
We win either way and the kid who did it right gets what he wants.
No reason to be anxious, just be excited for him either way.

I think fans, myself included, we want to see him play an entire season healthy and exact some revenge on Clemson.

I get it but there was 0 people who didn’t think he was going pro when the season started.. so we are kinda playing with house money but I think he is a class kid and we should be just as excited either way.. and either way we win...

While I would love for him to stay, I don't know his family situation, needs etc., I will thank the young man and will follow him in his career at the next level.

I agree. Had Tua stayed healthy this year, I would have without a doubt, expect him to move on to the NFL. The ending to the last 2 years has sort of soured my thinking.

 

[UAgrad93]

For those wanting to watch.

I don't think anyone will be sour with him regardless of his decision. Most of us would love nothing more than to see him throw for another season. I, like many others just love watching him release a football and seeing where it ends up, because there is more good than bad that happens. I absolutely hate when people say "generational talent", because it's overused and loses its luster when so many media fools use it to try and drive up their intelligence on a subject, but Tua is clearly a generational talent at quarterback. Trevor Lawrence ain't shit compared to Tua, and stats prove that. That being said, it would just simply be great to be able to watch greatness one more time in our favorite uniform is all I believe people are wishing, but are also just as happy for the guy if he goes to the NFL and makes his millions.

Tua goes pro and drafted by Dolphins. Lia transfers to Miami. Whole family moves down there. Sorry, had to.

 

[BamaFan334]

Saban looks like Tua is gone.

 

[BamaFan334]

Glad to see him walking without a cane or crutch. Just awesome in my mind.

it was fun while it lasted.

GOOD LUCK Tua!

 

[BamaFan334]

Well, now we know. Only the best of luck to one of the most standup guys we have ever had.

 

[UAgrad93]

Good luck young man!!!!!

Thanks Tua for your time in T-town!!

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

I just hope that the Dolphins build a good line for him. He has a year behind Fitz as his contract runs for another year and they can use money to build that line and get some receivers.

 

['65 Cobra]

Thanks for everything Tua and knock 'em dead in the NFL!

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

It will be interesting to learn what the family plan is for Taulia going forward. I doubt we learn that until after the draft (city that takes 13).

 

[rocknthefreeworld]

I gotta say this. You can tell from the things he is saying that he really was torn on this all. Pretty sure he wanted to stay but the pull of the money was too much to overcome. Sure family members really called it. Why get hurt for free when you can get hurt for a bunch of money?

As far as Lia, Tua says he is still there but who knows after spring.

 

[JoshB]

Am I just reading into things a little too much or does Tua look extremely uncomfortable up there?
