1. Stephen A nobody and I mean nobody can take you serious with that hairline dawg . LFG RAIDERS!!!

2. I hope Maxx Crosby is hearing Steven A talk this BS 😡

3. Mendoza need good coaching. His mechanics are good but he needs better field vision. He looks and stares at where he’s going to throw waiting for his target to open up. Pro level defense will read him easily.

4. At Stephen a your a joke. They had key injuries to offensive line definitely need a better center gotta address the o line and their are very good o line available in free agency. Thorton jr just needs more snaps but you’re a joke man.

5. I swear these folks always say mfs 6-5 is an nfl body but I’ve seen big QB’s be trash and be injured like come on bruh

6. Smith is overrated

7. I think Mendoza is a good fit, Geno will be a good bridge QB to ease Mendoza in. He will have an All-Pro TE to work with, A really goof RB (Potential Trade Piece) and I’m sure by then Raiders will sure up that OL and get a WR in FA to complete the offense. Defense will have to be built in the draft and FAs. Only thing that’s certain, this is going to be a long rebuild. I’m interested to see how it works out.

8. Just because Brady is the player GOAT die my mean his talent assessment is unquestionable. MJs was awful

9. Brady didn't attend the Indiana-Miami game because he loves college football I'll leave it at that

10. Who dies steven even go for? His team sucks too

11. I wish Mendoza luck, unfortunately I don't see him being successful with the Raiders. Unless they drastically improve their offensive line and offensive culture.

12. Our 2 best lineman were out almost the entire year and their coaching was trash 💯 once our rookie Olinemen got playing time they looked great 💯 we're going to have proper coaching and 110mil for FA so shut up Stephen A

13. Why people still take Steven A Smith seriously is stunning~

14. You said "I like the eye deer…" Now i didn't see any eye deer out on the field. In my neck of the woods, it's "idea." "I like the idea" 😄😅

15. Brady thought Cam was going be good qb. He is not with team anymore

16. So why wouldn't raiders take him then😂😂they so smart they dumb. 100 mil in cap space this year and next. That much cap space can build around him but they never mention that at all. So smart but yet so dumb

17. Lakers mentioned

18. SAS opinion is a waste of YouTube time….

19. This time last year media was praising how the Raiders were going to sin and compete under Pete. Well that didn't happen so Pete is gone but the players are still there and honestly the Frankenstein coaching staff was a bad idea. Pete wanted his sons and they were not up to the task. Chip didn't look like it was his Offense at all and it was a MESS. As long as the Raiders hire a good HC and let that HC get the coaches he wants then the team can turn things around quicker than the record suggests. They could have won some of the games they lost and the Oline under Brennen Carroll was atrocious. Get the fight leader, let him get some good coaches to install a good system and we will see how the next few season play out. I'm taking Mendoza unless the offer to trade the pick is better than what Al offered to get Elway, then Mendoza is our QB moving forward and we will build a TEAM around him. If Maxx is a problem then we can trade him but I'd rather keep him right up to the trade deadline to let him see the direction of things. If he wants out then trade him for 2027 picks and let him go to a team in the hunt.

20. Stephen doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Look back at Cincinnati before Burrow, Bills before Allen, and Chargers before Herbert . The teams stats and success were similar. You need a franchise QB to start the process of change and success.

21. SAS a certified Raiders hater 😂

22. Raiders trade with AZ Cardinals (swap picks 1 & 3) for Kyler Murray, and draft OL from Miami Mungaia…

23. Stephen A is absolutely right about Vegas. Even Shedeur Sanders beat them.

24. I'm waf dead homies

25. Brady chose Carroll and Gino Smith and Chip Kelly. Brady will be the same type of executive as Michael Jordan and John Elway. Stop kissing this guys azz.

    Mendoza is the most obvious #1 pick in this current situation, in the last 20 years!

    ANYONE would choose Mendoza. Stop acting like BRADY is going to make some great, genius pick here.

    Ridiculous.

26. Haven't watched Raiders games for 3 years now. Hoping this will be a turning point in the organization. Getting a young high ceiling QB you can build around.

27. It is the GM’s job to draft the QB in this case Brady would sign off on it! And yes it’s obvious the Raiders are bad that’s why they have the #1 pick but Raiders Nation keeps believing better for days! So F the haters!!💪🏼

28. Stephen A…..blah blah blah blah

29. of course you love em, Doggy

30. If the Raiders dont take Menoza many Raider fans will leave the fan base. Its too much to bare.

31. Raiders need to draft some o-line defenders and or make trades to get the best out of this giant. We all want the Raiders to be good again and I say that as an Eagles fan knowing they kicked our butts in the Super Bowl all those years ago before I was born. Make the Raiders Great Again.

32. 4:57 yeah Stephen A…110 million in cap and 10 draft picks you don’t think they’re gonna shore up that offensive line adequately?

33. i thought Oakland Pathetics was bad, then i found out about the Oakland now Las Vegas Raiders…

34. We're tired of looking at SAS as well

35. It really has less to do with personnel than with coaching and the system used to bring out the best in the players. If the Raiders find the right combination HC,OC, QB coach, O-Line coach that have the same philosophy then perhaps this could work and bring stability to an organization that needs it moving forward.
