Saban and Tua

[echowaker]

Underwent successful surgery. Expected to make a full recovery. Expect him to be a top NFL draft pick coming up

technology has come a long way since Bo was injured.

Yeah I said that point earlier too

technology has come a long way since Bo was injured.

But not so much in that area.

The degree of vascular and neuro damage is a critical factor.

Operating almost immediately indicates that they’re concerned about necrosis and it’s impact on his career.

Bo was one of the greatest pure athlete I ever saw play. This injury took him to a limping shell of what he once was. I hope for Tua's sake you're right because I think he is the real deal as a person.

Tua, 2 ankle injuries, 1 knee injury and now a debilitating hip injury. Part of being great of course is pure talent, getting lucky, and staying out of the trainers room.

Some better than none no ?

You can only hope for the best for him, it’s a very difficult injury if it’s similar to Bo’s injury

One of the tenets in the NFL is that if you were injured in college, you’re going to get injured in the NFL, and as such, given his history, this injury doesn’t bode well for his NFL stock.

Like RBG III’s injury, you have to question the decision to play an already injured/compromised player.

In warm ups, knowledgeable people indicated that he didn’t appear to be 100 %.

What was to be gained by playing him, versus giving him more time to heal.
