I really hope he does. Beating him two years in a row will be so much fun.

So if he gets another injury how far does he plummet in 2021 draft? Day 3?

Only reason he comes back is because he won’t be ready play at the beginning of next year and he rehabs in the comfort of Alabama.

Then he's dumb as shite. The guy is made of glass and he's likely to be a top 5 pick, which is tens of million of dollars.

I mean he's not. That's the entire reason this is even a possibility. If he was a sure fire Top 5 pick he'd be gone

I think in the end the decision to come back will prove unfortunate for both Tua and to the image of Bama football.
Hope I'm wrong about the first part.

Hard not to like Tua, but at the same time he’s being dramatic with these press conferences. Wonder if Saban is putting him up to that.

He should go!

Shut up yourself, backwoods hick.

I really don’t have a clue what the kid is doing . Read a story today that he should be a top 10 pick in draft this year. I personally think it would be smart to get drafted and sit for a year . Never hurts to watch the nfl a year as a QB. Unless he has fallen to 2nd rd . I just don’t see a benefit to coming back.

Lil' Nicky is probably bouncing around the campus waving his little arms and making those hideous facial expressions like he did after Malzahn outsmarted him.

Correct.
What should be the only issue here is what is best for the player.

Dumb decision if he comes back. The upside is a longshot at moving up from mid first round to high first round. Even if he accomplishes that, he's one year further away from his second contract and his overall NFL career is likely a year shorter because frankly everyone only has so much football life. Also, in that case, he's also with a worse franchise and will have a harder time getting that monster second contract.
The downside is even if he doesn't get hurt again, what if he just isn't the same. There isn't a glass floor to keep him from sliding further and further down the draft board. And if he doesn't get hurt and slides down anyway, there's a good chance he wouldn't have a compensable loss of value claim either. New Year, new policy that won't protect against regressing in talent. It'll be based on his current draft grade, actual future draft position, and whether a new injury happens that causes a drop in draft stock.
The disaster side is what if he reinjures it and has to hang up his cleats before ever setting foot in an NFL stadium.
Bottom line is first rounders should ALWAYS declare, second rounders should seriously lean towards it, third rounders have tough decisions, and everybody else should return barring extenuating circumstances.
