Really too bad

Lesson for NFL prospect level QB recruits. Saban won't think twice about destroying your body just to rack up some style points.

Yes, I saw him hobbling during warm ups and was wondering why would you play him this week? Saban looks really bad on this one....

That could have been a 100 million+ injury if he planned out in the NFL, even to Andy Dalton level

Hearing that this is similar to the Bo Jackson injury

if so at least they can stop the bleeding early enough to keep the bone from dying. if there was anything ‘good’ that came from Bo’s injury it was doctors now look for artery bleeds with this injury.

Read some of the reports and I'm legitimately heartbroken for Tua. Seems like a great kid.

I was afraid of that. It had a similar look to it.

Will be subject to AVN the rest of his life...this one’s on Saban

Totally agree
They didn't even need him today.

Guy is a gamer though.

Yes, but much better diagnostic tools now than Bo had. Still, this is an awful injury even with the best treatment.

Best case may be, given his arm, that he might be able to play as a Brady/Manning mold QB, but that's not the direction the NFL seems to be going.

Dislocated hip is not a common thing for a guy his age. This is a seriously bad injury. Shit that sucks

or any QB for that matter.

up 32-6 late in 4th qtr if a game in ‘02 he was RUNNING (designed runs) our starting QB. Broke a bone in his foot missed 2nd half of the season. Lost the division by tiebreaker that year.

Yes and no.
yes, in the fact that Tua wasn’t close to fully healthy(He was visibly limping on the sideline pregame), and in a game they could’ve won easily without him nonetheless.

No, in that I don’t see any coach sitting their starting QB in the first half. Wasn’t Fields playing still in the 3rd QT

Yeah. This hip shit is a freak thing. Sucks ass as it is a serious injury if what they are saying is true. Career ending type shit.
