Admittedly Joe is much more mobile. Justin would have been the #1 QB taken last year if he would have declared and he's done nothing to tarnish that, it's just Joe has been so impressive. One year wonders worry me, but I'd be happy with either or neither and take Chase Young. This is a pretty good year to suck.

It's really tough to say where he goes, but I would guess he won't fall out of the 2nd.  It's a risk for any team, but potentially a massive reward.  Feel bad for the kid, though.  Hope things work out for him wherever he lands.

Or the Bengals...

If you burn 1/2 years on that deal you are losing a lot of the value the rookie QB contract provides a team. Especially considering this is an injury that has the potential to shorten his career substantially. I think there will be a lot of teams, similar to Jaylon Smith, who red flag him medically and remove him from their draft boards completely. The issue though is when medical checks come around at the combine it will still be too early to have a good idea if it will be an AVN situation or not yet.

(11-18-2019, 12:45 PM)Au165 Wrote: There is so little blood flow there normally apparently it is really tough to judge. I think he goes back to school, the reality is he is going to get world class medical attention while at Alabama. He will start this process with them and so it makes sense to go through the whole thing with them, especially because they have some history with it as CJ Mosley dislocated his hip while there although he didn't have the fracture. 

Now here is my other take haha. I'd guess he has a loss of value insurance policy that will pay out if he falls out of the 1st. It may actually behoove him to go into the draft and expect to fall out of the 1st as the insurance policy will offset his lost income but he then gets to play on a 4 year deal instead of a 5 year deal and can get to FA faster.
