Sucks, hate to see the kid get injured. Hopefully he bounces back and has a huge year next year.

Durability is a huge question with this kid going into the pros. Wonder if he'll go back, he'd still probably be a top 20 pick based on talent alone if he came out. What a waste, Bush and Peterson are injured. Whose next, Lynch? Running back class looks crappier every week.

I'm interested to see if he goes pro or stays at OU.

Man, first time his dad gets to see him play at OU and he breaks his Collar Bone. That sucks. He is fun to watch.
Tatum Bell has been playing great, but I'd have no problem giving up our 1st and 2nd in a deal to move up to say 11 or 12 to grab him! Imagine the possibilities... even Michael Bush would be fine. I agree with what several of you are thinking though... I'd rather use that #1 and #2 on a trade up for a stud DE, or even stand pat and draft two DE's.

I'd rather hang on to Tatum as he continues to improve.

We MUST get a new stud DE with Courtney finished, but we also need a top RB prospect too to either push Tater and/or maybe replace him if he slows down later in the year again.
We need a 9 man D-line rotation like Chicago's :-)! Who would you give up for Tommie Harris?

For sure keep Tatum. I think he's an exciting back, but make no mistake, Adrian Peterson he is not!
Bush has the size to really be a great runner in the NFL. He's a lot more like Jerome Bettis than TJ Duckett, but he has the power to move the chains. Like Bettis he has outstanding feet. I bet the guy runs in the low 4.5 range. Phenomenal for a back his size!
Still though, Tatum showed a lot against the Ravens. I have no problem sticking with him as he continues to improve and SHOW POWER. We need a game changing DE. We'll likely pick right around the end of round 1. No way the top tier DE's fall that far and no way Landry falls that far. I smell a draft swap coming!!!

If Tatum does not regress, I see no reason to continue the RB merry-go-round. As of now he's on his way to being a complete back, and with Mike bell and Cobbs waiting in the stables there's no reason to spend that important of a pick on another RB. Fix the D-line, thats the priority.
We MUST get a new stud DE with Courtney finished, but we also need a top RB prospect too to either push Tater and/or maybe replace him if he slows down later in the year again.
We probably shouldn't be writting Mike Bell off so quickly, and Damien Nash has some potential as well. Its not worth a first day pick to get depth that can push Tatum. That said, the season is young and Tatum has never carried the load for 16 games.
I personally would be disapointed with a first day RB if Bell continues to perform this season, but if the FO sees a slider they really like it'd only make sense to lock up talent when its available cheap.

I heard he broke it diving into the end zone? Was this a diving play for the TD or a dumbass diving to show off move? Only thing dumber than that to celebrate a TD is to slam your head into a wall.

He was showboating.

Didn't appear to be showboating to me. He was avoiding the angle a defender had on him and his momentum caused him to go down. But I just saw it once on a replay...

He wasn't showboating. But I have been telling you guys for two years now that with his running style he is an injury waiting to happen. Love the kids talent, but he exposes his self to too much punishment.
