Cage!
"As to Isaac Sopoaga, I like the man, I have rooted for him to succeed, but I'm afraid when I contemplate his career as a 49er I find he falls into a disturbingly large category of player who has promised more than he ultimately delivered. He's not a flash in the pan, certainly, but he's the kind of guy who reminds you that most players in the NFL are in fact flashes in the pan. They deliver one or two strong performances in their rookie year, or maybe they deliver an entire season of above-average play, enough to make you believe they might become one of those forces that dominate for a decade; but then something happens - an injury, a holdout, a stupid off-field mistake, a drift of focus - and next thing you know you've been tolerating the dude for two or three seasons simply because he led you to believe he could eventually be great."
