If all of this is true, should the Lions look at Tua at the top of the 2nd?

Tua’s surgeons …Both Cain and Routt rate the long-term prognosis for Tagovailoa’s hip as excellent, saying he is at a lower risk of redislocation or fracture-dislocation as a result of the protective effect of the surgical repair and the plate implanted in his hip…
This above is exactly what my surgeon friend explained to me …technically speaking the plate is used to re attach the fractured part to good un-fractured parts of the wall & protects the fracture as well , the fracture heals & the plate remains and is now reinforcing the fracture …covering it … making it likely to never fracture again…hence stronger .
The device implanted in his hip to limit rotation makes the hip is less likely to ever dislocate at the same place it did before, a stopper that keeps the femur from getting near the area of where it popped out .
He also says this is all nonsense from a practical view as it pertains to an athlete …The hip is now more likely to fracture in 4 separate spots with the plate in permanently , the spots on all 4 sides of the plate are now breaking points…like an edge of a table used if you were to try to snap something like a pencil.
As for the device to limit rotation that was implanted , it is only used when the hip is not structurally sound anymore and is missing fragments of the socket that would ordinarily be in place to keep the ball socket in tact …it does nothing from the stand point of stopping a re dislocation anywhere else in the 360 radius …The ligaments and tendons being stretched will allow the femur to dislocate again now more easily then before in all areas .except where the device was used .
All of the fixes are for the average person … stats and success of the surgery not relevant to an athlete . No surgeon anywhere will ever recommend or say it’s a good idea to play sports after this type of injury…only that you can . Nothing is stopping you from doing it …
As for the AVN it is rare but again it can still show itself for up to 2 years post injury

Take this with a grain of salt, as I think Trent Dilfer is as biased for Tua as NewYorkLion, a.k.a. Justin Herbert’s agent, is biased against him. Dilfer worked with Tua at the Elite 11 before he went to Alabama, and called him the best QB he’s ever worked with, including multiples in the NFL now.
Dilfer also worked with Tua on his recent video pro day for the NFL, and this is his account of it.

Okay Trent Dilfer…Get back to that shit you were smoking .

Indeed, what does a Super Bowl winning QB, who was in the league for a decade, who then worked with QBs for years in Elite 11, and still coaches QBs, know about quarterback play compared to you, NYL?

So here’s the thing.
I have been trying to keep an open mind with you. I was starting to come around to understanding your points much more on Tua…then you do this and totally redeem yourself showing the bias!
Less than a year ago this guy was the best prospect since Luck. Even on par with him.
If there was ever anything that proved the bias its here.
Just admit the dude has arm talent and intangibles. You lose me when you argue that he doesnt.
I 100000% understand the injury concerns. They are justified. Just stick with that argument.

Hahahaha …This is the equivalent of Jordan Palmer raving about Burrow . Dilfer is a paid employee of Tua’s
Nope not a chance I can take what he says with any validity after that…
Dilfer …Tua is getting back to himself…Okay maybe
Tua is showing much progress and getting his feet under himself …Okay maybe
Tua throws the ball better then Marino and Aaron Rodgers …GTFOH 
That is straight up crack pipe smoking nonsense…
Tua has avg to below avg arm strength… is that the end all be all ? No… but stop …
Tua could only dream about making some of the throws Aaron, Marino or Stafford could
Not a single throw Tua could make that any of these 3 could not …
Tua can not make all the throws these 3 can …it’s not close .

Lol. Whatevs man.
How good is Tua without injury concerns? He had 3 first round wrs and a great o-line. Is he really head above shoulders better then Herbert who didnt have much around him?
Still would be shocked if he goes anywhere outside the top 10
A fraction of difference in your hips/lower body will change your throwing mechanics.
