Are Mike Lombardi and Peter King trying to downgrade Tua for the benefit of the Patriots?

Mike Lombardi, a Bill Belichick disciple, has taken to the airwaves calling Tua brittle and not a top QB. Could the evil empire and Darth Belichick have anything to do with this? Lombardi seems a bit defensive when asked that question. Peter King, who follows the Patriots closely predicts that Tua will drop into the range that NE trades up for him.

I find the notion laughable, frankly.

 

Laughable that Peter King would try to influence the draft in some way and laughable that any NFL GM’s draft day decision making would actually be influenced by two journalists.

 

I DO think Tua May fall and I DO think the Pats may draft him, but neither possibility has anything to do with King or Lombardi.

It's time to read a book. Preferably one not written by Alex Jones.

My very first thought upon reading Mike Lombardi’s Tweet was exactly that.  Notable thing to consider here:

- He has been an amoral, back stabbing liar his whole career in football.  I’ve only known him to tell the truth when it suits him and he’s working an angle or trying to prop himself up.

- He has recently (and maybe currently?) worked for BB as a consultant.

- His son is currently on BB’s staff.

 

So, yeah, Lombardi is putting out BS to help BB get his QB.  Also I can say for a fact that the Patriots are actively trying to find a trade partner to move up into the top 10.

Lombardi could very well be spreading stuff on behalf of Belichek. Way too many connections going back, for that not to be a possibility.

 

Peter King - highly unlikely.

 

Tua does qualify as 'fragile' with his injury history, but they haven't exactly been the sorts of minor sprains, aches and pains that keep someone out of games. Fragile he may be, but it would seem he's got the right 'tough' attitude to how they've occurred, in that it's because he plays football, and not tiddleywinks.

 

Now, is he 'injury prone'? That might be a different argument.

 

Certainly if I was thinking of drafting him, I'd be looking very closely at how he has been injured, and his subsequent recovery(s).

Good.  He's damaged goods and got a 13 on the Wonderlic.  I hope the Pats give up the farm for him.
