1. Should the Raiders draft Fernando Mendoza?

2. I agree. Don’t complicate it

3. You think Colin. You’re so smart. Wow, this is groundbreaking! You’re ahead of the curve.

4. What is he talking about? He’s arguing against fictional Indiana fans 😂😂😂

5. Raiders need to fix their O-line first before taking any QB.
   If the raiders take Fernando, he will definitely be running for his life. 🤔

6. We won't have another chance to draft a quarterback even if it's a heavy quarterback class.

7. From the Superbowl to the Draft, Welcome to lying Season!

8. I never got why people downplay Mendoza so much. I was an NFL fan before I was a CFB fan so I'm into QB play and been watching Indiana and Oregon more than other teams besides Notre Dame. And I was telling everyone Mendoza was the best QB in CFB. For most the year everyone I talked to was telling me Dante Moore was way better than Mendoza and that's just not what I saw while watching these games. Then Indiana destroys Oregon and these same people go from saying Moore is better than Mendoza to "well he's just a good college QB in the worst QB class in history." Yeah, ok. Either way Fernando has a great chance of being a very good franchise quarterback and I don't doubt that with his work ethic and mental toughness he's going tap into every ounce of potential he has to go on to having a long productive NFL career.

9. wow colin is going out on a limb…clearly the best QB in draft for 2 years going to a team that had old interception king geno…wow, rocket science

10. Truth bombs. Mendoza is the real deal. Not a physical specimen, but makes up for it with smarts and hard work.

11. If only cause its Raiders they saying that.

12. Klint Kubiak doesn’t take this job unless he thought Mendoza was gonna be special. Those 3 playoff games Mendoza looked like an NFL franchise QB. He makes throws that probably wowed Kubiak. I’m ready for the Raiders to be good again. Might not be right away but we got the right coach and QB coming

13. Tom Brady will make this decision, not Klint Kubiak!!!

14. If Trey Lance is worth 3 1st round picks??? Fernando? 6 picks this year + Mac Jones who could play while they rebuild

15. Sorry I ever clicked on this idiot. It will never happen again.

16. Indiana did hold Smith & Judkins down in 2024. Lost special teams and playing a QB with a torn knee

17. Let’s come back to this when Indiana is back in the playoff next year.

18. Name one thing Mendoza isn’t good at I’m serious. And he’s elite accuracy wise. He makes NFL throws on the money. Give him a good o line and Jeanty and Bowers are gonna go off

19. If Raiders draft Mendoza and build a solid O-line for once and pick up a WR1 he's got Bowers who is an absolute beast TE and Jeanty who will break off runs with proper blocking to get the first few steps at RB. Raiders are always screwing things up and have for years but I have a feeling Brady is through screwing around this time.

20. He's a great qb not a great athlete u can't measure attitude smarts etc get him an online a #1wr that raiders offense going to be good

21. Raiders take FM. I would love to bet against anyone who thinks otherwise,

22. What if the Jets offer the farm?
