    This what I love about Tua and Mike McDaniel. It's not just player or coach speak. It's honesty and appreciation for what you have done. Tua cherishes the things he has worked hard to get. I'm glad he's our QB1.

  • @j_incognito6716

    I want everyone here to think hard about the strength it took that man to open up the way he did in front of the world. He is a very private person. Think about how vulnerable he allowed himself to become. That kind of strength you don’t find in any leaders like him. Especially at his position and especially knowing how much he is criticized and slandered in the media and social media. None of you would have the balls to do that. This is a man made of iron. Fearless. A man conpletely comfortable with who he is.
    That is a dangerous man. A fearless competitor. A lion who is going to set the league on fire for many years to come. We have the cheetah and the Lion.

    Tua would never say these comments are directed at Brian Flores, but he doesn't have to. A big part of being a good leader is creating individual connections with your people and understanding when you're pressing too hard and when someone can handle being pushed more. I hope Flores looks back at this and realizes he could have handled things better. McDaniels is putting on a master class on how to get the best out of someone.

I used to think it was a professional league, but the intricacies that happen in the locker room is insane. Thanks Mike for making this guy himself again. I know Tua doesn't keep receipts, but the fans of you do it for you! Keep crushing it
