econ, agreed chase got the skills to run for 17 yard scrambles but for reasons that are irrelevant now that seldom happened outside of that epic sprint in palo alto towards the transfixed cal fan base that later released eons of pent up frustration/happiness in the california golden bears epic free love celebration at midfield
met kai's dad last year in tuscon & we chatted during warm ups, that's when he told me his son broke up with his girlfriend in order to exclusively focus on football & academics (pursuing the haas biz school)...dwayne is the co-founder of elev8 with quarterback whisperer gio & a former nfl scout, he's definitely very knowledgeable...but at the same time he's too involved in his son's career like a little league parent & kai made a terrible mistake in likely giving up his cal scholly & the opportunity for a degree at the #1 ranked public university in the world...hometown asu is full at quarterback, where is kai gonna go?
so chandler rogers will be the undisputed starter heading into 2023 spring ball & yes i share your concerns re: the physical durability of the 194 lbs...unlike the outdated & unimaginative billy m who put jack in harm's way on a regular basis, we can expect coach spav to design schemes (roll outs, quick interior passes, etc.) that will protect our qb but we all know football is a violent game & that **** happens which is why kai & his emotional dad should've accepted competing for the back up position heading into spring
and yeah it's the monster's prediction that there's a strong possibility that former cal commit/4.0 gpa justyn martin will enter the portal after ucla's sun bowl in smell paso & that coach spav is gonna relentlessly target him to be the bears #2 qb for 2023 understanding that he is 1 snap away from being a starter as a blueshirt freshman...also keep in mind that justyn is built like a greek god, he can take more punishment than carlos
fernando will continue to talk up chicas con pelo negro on campus & develop while surfer boy zach johnson will finish out his 4th & final year with a berkeley degree
