I've always been pro drafting Young. Amen brother. My Tua argument was and always will be if you have a chance to draft a true franchise QB then you do it, regardless of whether you have someone like Young on the table. If Tua did not have all the injuries then I'd say take him and trade DH. End of discussion. But that is not the case.

That's all I was saying as well, Tua is the better QB it's really the truth but his injury past is a big deal so I'm all for Young who is a great player! I'm happy either way and even if we trade I'm cool with that. The team is rebuilding clearly.

HOF QB > HOF pass rusher > HOF LT ... I wonder what the 4th best position would be. HOF CB or HOF LB?

10 years of Kuechly or 10 years of Ramsey? Give me the HOF LB.

(just throwing 2 names out there, love Kuechly but not sure if his shortened career is HOF worthy and Ramsey has quieted down/still lots of years left)

Tua is an excellent passer. But I'll make the same argument against him people made against Haskins. It's not hard to be accurate when you're throwing the ball to three potential first round wrs. Most qbs lucky to have one top tier wr. Tua had three of them. In the defense of Tua. I don't like the idea of discrediting a guy based on the talent around him. The reason I would pass on Tua isn't just the fact that needed to have three surgeries in three years. It's the fact that he's slow to get up after every big hit. This man is a career ending injury waiting to happen. Tua having a short career is more likely than him going to the hall of fame. Is Tua more polished than Dwayne Haskins? He definitely is without a doubt. But Haskins can developed into a very good qb. He just needs time. Tua on the other hand might not last to see his second contract.
