Mendoza to Start This Week Vs The Seahawks

You heard it here first.

Time for the future.

One think I think you can read into the Cousins trade is that the Raiders believe Mendoza is ready. That is more valuable than the third round pick.

I agree with that. It also suggests he is taking in what he has seen on the sidelines and is articulating what he is seeing in the QB room.

I know he will struggle and make huge boners because every QB starting out does. What I am counting on due to his intelligence is his ability to correct quickly. The ability to learn from your mistakes seems easy but it takes critical thinking skills to do it in an environment where processing speed is required. That is where I trust Brady when he endorses Fernando. It was his secret sauce and I trust him to recognize that in others.

There was plenty of talk of the right time for Mendoza being after the bye, but now he gets a few games under his belt before the bye and then has the bye week to spend more time to reset, review, self-scout - with his own game film and experience to draw on.

He's going to have some shitty games. No problem. This is the year for that.

The first person to bitch about his performance or call him a bust should get a lifetime ban because you know someone is going to say it before the year is up.

Someone was already talking that way based on a handful of preseason snaps

I watch almost zero press conferences, but I'm watching this one. Thanks.

...take it for what it is worth, but the reported on the NFL channel said that the raiders feel he is ready and (for what this is worth) 'has been dicing up our defense in practice'....

Since everyone else went in the obvious direction, I'll go in the other...

So that's what wrong with our defense. Fernando's been carving them up so bad it's destroyed their confidence.

I’m the same way. This one I wanted to see.

It's the deep throws. All in the plan I think. Probably see Thornton activated this week too.

f[raiders_icon]ck it, Thornton and Benson running sprints to the end zone the whole f[raiders_icon]cking game. Put extra oxygen tanks on the sideline and sub them back and forth.

First challenge is survive an NFL game.
