Raiders are gonna trade for Lamar and ravens get Mendoza and then Lamar gets hurt and Mendoza looks great
They’re gonna have to get rid of Max in order to sure up that line for the new QB
I want Mendoza no one else . But what’s Different and my only gripe … is tom Brady had this aggressive and assertive demeanor that demanded respect from his offense. I feel like you need that in the NFL . Mendoza seems like the type that will let a WR talk down on him, and he will turn the other cheek. Na son , be like tom and walk up and demand your respect . But maybe I’m wrong
If Maxx stays in Vegas, he'll keep Mendoza clean as a whistle.
Steelers fan here. Hated Brady when he played, but Mendoza is like Brady. Brady won 7 titles. I would take Mendoza in a second. The Raiders are lucky to get Medoza. He prepares. He is dedicated. He has winner written all over him. He reminds me of Andrew Luck with an arm like Montana. Montana didn't have a strong arm, but Montana could process well. He has Andrew Luck's personality, and frankly, Andrew Luck is a Hall of Fame player in my book.
👍🏾
Most undermined piece of going to the Raiders is how he can leverage Tom Brady for investment services. Mendoza looks to have a financial internship on Wall Street and I'm sure Brady could get him very well connected with people Mendoza would just want to know for the sake of knowing them. Mendoza has a brand. He is brand worthy, just like Brady. Put a rocket to his back and get him everywhere.
RAIDERSSSSSSSSSSSSS ! The new snake 2.0
Carr got run out of Vegas . He did not match up with the raiders bad boy image . Not sure it's a good fit for this young man . If he has to do the Andrew luck program he won't last long . You can't get beat up in this league as a quarterback . Coaches are willing to sacrifice their quarterbacks for their success . We have seen declines in the top dogs from putting their bodies and mental strength by getting hit like mahomes , Lamar , Burrow , Herbert and Allen . The quarterback who runs and takes a lot of hits doesn't have extended careers as history tells us .
Mendoza reminds me of a Trent Dilfer type. He will not wow anyone with stats but he can win you a Super Bowl.
Hey most teams needing a QB are not ready for one or they wouldn't need one.. IMO
Mendoza will be average QB starter in NFL at best the Raiders will likely ruin him sadly that franchise is a dumpster fire. 🗑️
They should bring Fernando on slowly.
They are getting Jared Goff – which is not a bad thing.
Draft Mendoza and buy an OLine in the free agency.
I've been a raiders fan for 36 years I pray we get this kid n change our franchise and get back to commitment to excellence
You don’t get that far without being hard
Im scottish love the nfl, but i gamble can anyone give me a tip for the championship games this weekend, what player has best chance 2 score 2 or more touchdowns in one game plz give me a tip
Ive only recently started watching the nfl great gzme but i do struggle understand so.e ov the rules , but its so exciting
Raiders are going to ruin this young man’s career
Mendoza reminds me of Andrew Luck. Unfortunately due to the Raiders organizational dysfunction, he'll regress to his success in terms of win/loss record closer to Mendoza's stint at Cal which was 6 and 6. I'd be pleasantly surprised if the Raiders are a .500 team next year but that's too optimistic given the Raiders history of coaching hires. Sean mcDermitt or bust?
Raider Nation patiently waiting for our next QB1!
Indiana University is the biggest party school in America. I doubt he'll struggle with Vegas.
Raiders Superbowl Cooking!!
Love it!🎉
Is it finally going to happen?🤩
Not everyone is undisciplined and prone to find trouble like your co-host, Rich. Some people just have a deeper understanding of what it means to be a professional.
Season ticket holders. Can't wait to see Mendoza in a Raiders jersey!
Mendoza is the Raiders franchise quarterback
Vegas resident here. There's a lot more than the strip.
Absolutely a tough hard nose dawg! Leader Winner!
Fernando Mendoza like your life depends on it!!
All day every day.
The only people who are hating are the ones who can't draft him this year.
