Poll: Does Tua Stay or Go?

  • HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two)

    Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation)

    if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!

On Monday, will Tua Announce to Return to UA, or Declare for the NFL?

  • Total voters
    221
  • Poll closed .
Been out the last few days, just voted. I went ahead and voted that Tua goes to the draft, although the selfish part of me would love to see him come back -- and get that "revenge tour" kicked up, LOL.

This has turned into a nice thread. Love all the comments. At this point 51% of us think he declares for the NFL. Not sure the big money is ready to take a broken QB that won't be able to perform in the combine. Fromm is considering a jump to the League as well which would probably take him off the board as the 3rd QB taken. I donno, I want the best for Tua and if it is true that he gets a big paycheck by leaving then great. But coming back and being taken as the first overall pick next year is just as tempting to me. Neither is a guarantee but such is life. Bama is in a great position either way.

The cases for Tua Tagovailoa staying at Bama or declaring for the NFL draft

We've laid out the pros and cons for the Alabama QB returning to school or declaring for the 2020 NFL draft.

Doubt this will help your voting, but they cover essentially what you might have already read here, but probably not as good. ;)

They do have a major typo in the article saying our first major SEC test will be LSU, but we know that's Georgia in week 3.

I believe Saban said ( or implied) that Tua had a top 15 NFL draft grade. Tua had already said that if he thought he would go in the top half of the first round then he would probably go. So... I think he declares for the draft. He will do great in the NFL.

Has anyone asked his father? They sure seem to make FAMILY decisions. So, if he stays, what QB or QB's may leave for playing time: Jones or Tyson? If he leaves and is drafted by whoever, what does his brother do, so that the FAMILY stays TOGETHER? Will Tyson stick around, get a GRADUATE degree and start as a redshirt-SENIOR? I voted that Tua goes for the $$$$$$$$ for the FAMILY, but that could mean losing his brother so that the FAMILY stays TOGETHER. I sure would like to be a fly on the wall in that home. That could be a very TOUGH decision. We would NOT be discussing this now, if those thugs weighing at least 500 lbs. had not fallen on him the way they did. Looks to me like it was INTENT to HURT Tua! They could have gotten him on the ground without the impact of 500+ lbs falling on his body. Hmmmmm. MSU's coach deserves to be FIRED IMHO.

Just my opinion but JJ is the only junior going in the top 15 of the draft. If Tua were to choose to turn pro, I don’t think a GM will risk taking a QB whose future is still up in the air at the time of the draft. GM’s jobs can be lost by a bad draft selection. I just think there is to much unknown for Tua to turn pro. I also do not feel Wills will be in the top 15 after several other junior tackles have declared. I do not see Wills staying at tackle in the NFL. He could be a pro bowl long term guard with his power and his quick feet. I am surprised Smith hasn’t already said he is coming back. Ruggs I think comes back if Tua stays and goes if he doesn’t. Unfortunately for him, very deep WR draft and don’t think he goes higher than 25th. No one has mentioned Lewis because he has already decided to go but he is a day 2 guy. He has had a lot of pressure going back to last year from someone very close to him. Heard from a reliable source he could have played in the playoffs last year but was not allowed by that same someone and Saban said next man up.
 
I read today that Xavier McKinney got a 1st round grade today. I had heard he was thinking about staying but now with this 1st round grade, he may leave. It would be nice to have him back, but I understand if he leaves.

He might go in the first round, but it would likely be very late in the round. Delpit is the only sure fire 1st rounder, IMO.

Right with you on Lewis. IMO he had a bit of a lackluster season overall. Not sure anyone will take a chance on him until late 2nd round or early 3rd.
 
I keep seeing "experts" all suggest Tua go.....and they are starting to make sense.
I'm starting to doubt he comes back......
ugh.....

There is just something about Harbaugh that is off. He alienates anyone who spends any amount of time with him - even his own family members. I was happy when UM hired him, hoping that his oddity would outweigh his coaching ability.

All joking aside, if he were to be tested, I’m convinced that he would register on the spectrum.

There was your error...jk ;)

I mean hey anyone can have a change of heart at anytime.... but quite a few insiders on Bama forums have had Tua leaning towards coming back for weeks and just in the last two days they are saying it's likely to almost certain now.

There's been a lot of clues on social media that suggest more coming back than leaving as well.

CNS and UA have almost certainly put together a plan to have proper #1 NFL Draft Pick Insurance for him this time so that he has nothing to lose and something to gain vs trusting the words of flakey NFL GM's.

Plus I really can't trust myself that an NFL team will Draft him in the Top 5 when he can't even be tested in any way right now other than a recovery time frame.

Throw Top 15 evaluations out the window. Tua wants to get top value in contract #1 which for him is #1-2 Overall Pick at best and no worse than #5 overall.

I'm sticking with Tua coming back. It's more my gut/intuition coupled with Tua's words on the subject thus far than anything else...

I understand. Heck, Tua could change his mind between now and Monday. It was insinuated that he had already made up his mind, which is why he picked a date so soon. I wonder what his doctor appointment today in NYC was like and what was said. I guess that info will be private unless it somehow leaks out.
