Tua IS a great QB and a great person. He’s the most accurate QB I’ve ever watched but he has one fatal flaw: Tua is so good, he doesn’t think he can lose, not even for one play. He views a throwaway as a loss, and if only he can extend a play long enough, he can make something happen. And that is his undoing. He can’t or won’t learn it’s ok to live to fight another day. I hope he learns it now or his NFL career will be very short and injury plagued.

All that's true and that's why I don't attach the word "great" to him. It's a subjective word. I don't use it all that loosely.
You really can't talk about Tua in the same vein as the likes of tim tebow, cam newton, Deshaun Watson or joe Burrow.
Now they were "great" and they accomplished great things.

Regarding Dabo coming home, I’m very conflicted on this issue. I think he’s a great recruiter, a good person (even if he grates on the nerves at times vacillating between “aw shucks” and railing how Clemson gets no respect) an awesome evaluator of talent, and a pretty good coach. He’s also got a great thing going at Clemson and has created his own legacy. He will have a tough decision to make if we ever come calling when Nick hangs it up. He loves Alabama but he’s got a good thing going.
My big concern is Dabo has a history of being successful at coasting through the mid major ACC schedule, with the ability to elevate his game for a couple of big games and making the playoffs relatively unscathed. He still seems to have at least one shite the bed game a year against an also ran where they take a loss or a close call. This year it was UNC and the previous two years it was Syracuse. It happens every year. He can coast through the ACC at half throttle with the yearly hiccup and it results in a one loss or an undefeated one annually.
Transplant that modus operandi to the SEC west and it will result in him getting his arse handed to him two or three times a year. I dunno, maybe he can adjust to the competition and he certainly deserves the first right of refusal. But every day he spends where he is makes it more difficult for him to leave. I don’t think he would be the slamdunk legend following a legend many think he would be, at least not at first. Will we ever know?
