Lets time travel back to the year 2005 in an alternate universe, Sione Fua is a 18 year old highschooler. He is such an amazing Offensive Tackle the LA times writes an article about him. Not only is this comedy gold, it makes me wonder why Fua ever became a DT.

At the end of his heavyweight wrestling matches, Sione Fua of Encino Crespi comes under siege.

At least five of his smaller teammates jump on his back in a futile attempt to take him down.

because he insisted on playing defense.

Good corner eh? Maybe he could replace Josh Thomas.

Kirk Morrison was on Fox Sports radio last night talking about how Stanford guys have a pretty widely reputation around the league as being known as soft that I thought was amusing and perhaps telling.

 

 

Also, without any reason whatsoever for doing so, mentioned that Steve Smith is known around the league as "the O.G." of toughness and trash talk in league circles.

 

It's a shame media types who have no idea what they're looking at 75% of the time vote on something as important as Hall of Fame inductees. If it were up to the people that knew Smitty would be a lock. I've never seen a player get as much respect around the league as Smith does.

What's the point in doing something you hate just because you're good at it when you're a kid?  I was a phenomenal swimmer when I was a teenager but had absolutely zero interest in doing it competitively.. had a blast being a mediocre football player instead.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
