Never said that. Just like Drake Maye, you want to know if your QB is real or not. Every QB grows just like every player as time goes on.

That's my point. How do you know he's real after a handful of games?

I think a bit too much h is being made about his rookie season. For whatever reason we had a seemingly 40yr old Lockett starting over him plus, plenty of wrs take a yr or two to adjusted to the NFL. Not saying he's going to succeed but let's see what he can do in a competent system/coaching and some real playing time. For whatever reason, some players are given a mulligan for last year, he's not getting one. Idk why some do & some don't

Much less last season related more just he seems almost as unknown as if he was a rookie this year.

People say this stuff every year. If you're really that good don't talk it. Just go out and do it

I agree completely....Just not much info right now so thought id post it for all to see

He played most of his first season. They made an assessment that he was the real deal. They spent big in FA (not on a QB) the following offseason. They got rid of their QB competition (from their previous season) and did not draft a QB. These are indicators that they felt they had the real deal. Guess what? They were right.

I was speaking more in terms of Mendoza than Maye. I don't think Mendoza is playing most of the season. I just don't think they'll definitively "know" after the year. Could there be indicators? Sure. Unless the coaches see something in practice that we the fans won't be privy to.

Underrated players to keep an eye on throughout camp

Training camp is where jobs are won, the depth chart takes shape, and the identity of this football team is built. Jesse shares the position groups, players, and storylines he'll be watching most closely over the coming weeks."

How brock Bowers fits into Klint Kubiak's offense? No, it should be how Klint Kubiak's offense fits into Brock Bowers.

He was pretty slow coming out of college with a 4.49 40, Mike Washington Jr is a 4.33 guy. I would like to see us get fast guys and not slow ones, we already have a fullback and Jeanty isnt a burner, so we only have Washington that is fast on our RB squad. I also hope we can cut Dylan Laube this season also, he doesnt really bring anything to table for us.

No QB is a finished product after a few games. There is way too much room for growth.

You are correct, however I'd still take ending this year where Mendoza looks legit.
Definitely doesn't means he's over the hump, still hasn't faced most teams and the more tape the more they learn.

I don't feel NE's QB Drake is even over this hump yet.
I sort of keep that you need 3 consecutive years of really good play to prove you are simply great and near unquestionable.

But again, still looking legit exiting this year to me would be promising.

It's also like lets say we have a real surprise year as a team, there's way more one-hit wonder teams than perennial one's.
Everyone wants to be a perennial winner. There's a handful of these teams.

EDIT: Wanted to add, I think this was from last week but I do feel 3 games that are based on where you ended last year are a fair difference maker to your schedule and creates some one year wonders. For example the first place team will play 3 more first place teams this year that the forth while they are out there playing around with other 4th places instead.
