Teams hoping to "tank for Tua" need to come up with a new plan. The Alabama QB suffered a dislocated hip with a fracture, according to reports. Feel bad for the young man.

Puts Burrows at the top of the draft board if he wasn't there already.
Thanks for that info. Hope Tua gets top notch care.SeatownJay":qm07la8u said:The main issue that caused Bo's retirement was that, after dislocating his hip and popping it back into place, he waited to go to the hospital and have it examined. Damage to blood vessels after reducing the dislocation caused necrosis which worsened his condition and led to him needing hip replacement.
I agree it can happen anytime anywhere in any game ..In NFL especially.SanDiego49er":2egykge6 said:It was a very unfortunate injury. Kind of a freak thing. You don't hear of too many hip injuries like that. You see a lot of knee injuries but not a lot of bad hip injuries. The argument that he should have been pulled before I don't think is valid. Because he can get hurt on the first play of the game. It was just a freak accident injury. The way he got tackled and the way the weight of the player came down on him and how it trapped his leg and transferred all the weight and force into his hip is somewhat random and a freak type of injury. It would be hard to duplicate it again. It's just unfortunate for him. I hope he will get better. You never want to see guys get hurt.

That said, and as an Alabama fan, he strikes me as a bit of a front runner. By that I mean he absolutely feasts on bad teams but then comes down quite a bit from that lofty status when the level of competition goes up.

I think he will be normal besides football..You can't risk that coming out again
which experts say is likely to happen again.
I don't care how high tech anything is ..A socket injury of any kind is horrible.
