Jared Stidham might have a vestigial tail that acts as a biological gyroscope for his balance

J Stidham might have a tail. An actual tail. ... Everybody was thinking that J Stidham might have a tail. ... if you have a tail, it helps you balance. It acts like a stabilizer. When you're twisting, when you're throwing, it's a biological gyroscope.

Humans can be born with vestigial tails, but there is no verified evidence Jarrett Stidham has one.

The 49ers' high injury rate is caused by an electrical substation next to their practice field

Only one variable is unique and the players know it in their guts... Players have joked around about there being an electrical substation right next to the practice field and how that has led to the Niners injury problems... This guy went to the practice field with a gause meter. It read 8.5 plus milligauss.

This is a pseudoscientific conspiracy theory with no medical backing.

Players have joked around about there being an electrical substation right next to the practice field and how that has led to the Niners injury problems. ...

The torch has been passed and that's it. It's over... Drake may has the torch and then it will go until we pass it to someone else... It can't go back.

Allen remains a top-tier QB while May is a rookie; most analysts would disagree that the torch is permanently moved.
