And I know it's a risk. It was a risk for the Warriors to take Steph Curry. It was a risk to take Lamar. It was a risk to take Mahomes. It was a risk to take the tiny QB out of OU last year #1 overall.....


Big risks meaning swinging for the home run. Tua has the potential (key word potential) to be a really good NFL player. If he is paired with the right HC (which I think is a must), you could be looking at something really special.

And which of these had an injury when they were drafted?

Curry. He had "bad ankles" apparently.

This hip injury shouldn't deter him from being a successful QB because it's not the same as when Bo Jackson had it. As long as the injury reports come back clean with Tua, I'm on board with taking the risk.

My point earlier was that with all those players drafted, the team was taking on a risk. Curry isn't quick enough and has weak ankles. Mahomes is coming from a spread offense. Lamar is a WR at the next level. Murray is too small. I'm willing to look past the risks in order to get to greatness. Mediocrity shouldn't be the goal. 

Again, I understand all the risks that come with Tua. I'm just willing to take those risks.
