What did they say about Peat and Penning?
Peat's toughness was questioned by multiple people.
Penning's toughness was questioned by no one, but everyone said he was raw and a project, and would require a team with patience.
No one is saying anything like that about Fuaga. Finished product, an absolute mauler and tough SOB. The only question for him is depending on system and if you have him at RT or RG. Fuaga has also said he has no problem playing on the Left, when many OL will only want to play one side.

Three-year starter at left tackle with outstanding measurables on a low-cut, well-built frame. Penning plays with a level of disgust for anyone lining up against him and seeks out violent block finishes when possible. He's athletic enough to block on the move and has the potential to shine as a powerful drive blocker. Size, length and know-how have been more than enough to ward off FCS pass rushers, but he needs to operate with better inside-out positioning while developing much firmer edges to succeed against a more talented group of quarterback hunters. Penning has both traits and toughness but the tape can leave you wanting just a little more from him. He should become an instant starter at left or right tackle but the jump in competition will take time to navigate.
It's great for an O-lineman to have an "arse-kicking" mentality. But when the guys whose asses you are trying to kick are just flat-out faster and more athletic to the point where you can barely get your hands on them all the anger in the world isn't going to help much. That's not say Fuaga won't be 1000x better. But I wouldn't fall completely in love with just an "arse-kicking" mentality.

Fuaga isn't the reach that Penning was. Penning was a run blocker only, and they knew he wasn't a complete OT when they drafted him. Penning is a guard in the NFL.
