Can we welcome any Indiana fans that would like to don a silver and black 15 jersey and help fill out our stadium?
Those Hoosiers travel and we need to take back the fortress

For those who care I saw on Reddit Carrbage on his podcast says we should not draft Mendoza. He says team isn’t ready for a qb.
he can pound sand with his gash between his legs

He’s not head coach material and his defenses for that matter are terrible as well. First team ever with no defensive interceptions is laughable.
Did he have his kids on staff too?

I'm not entirely sure this is a fair evaluation. Ward ran the air raid system at Washington and Miami, similar to the one ran with Patrick Mahomes. While these are heavily reliant on RPO's, so is every college offensive system.
It would be hard to label 1 guy an RPO guy and label it as a negative, when almost no college teams run strict Pro Style Offenses any more. Almost every QB prospect runs an air raid or version of the spread, which are heavily reliant on shotgun and RPO's. Other than Burrow and Shaduer, I can't think of too many prospects the last 10 years that didn't run mostly RPO's.
Mahomes also has Andy Reid who in my opinion is up there with the likes of Lombardi and Bill Walsh.
I have beaten this drum on this forum and some are probably sick of hearing it but Cam Ward will not live up to the hype of being the #1 pick in the draft, in fact I doubt he earns a journeyman label in the NFL.

Im not a Cam Ward fan but I do think the expectations people have of young quarterbacks is ridiculous. He has only one year of experience and it's still too soon to conclude anything.

This is why I wouldn't rule out taking a QB if I was the Jets. You get a year to evaluate the guy and then you have more than enough capital to grab one of the highly rated guys next year if you decide you didn't get your guy. The most likely path to this would be for them to trade back a bit.
They’ve got a mid 1st from the colts I believe, I could see them using that on Simpson. Just don’t see who anyone is interested in moving up for this year.

Mateer returning to school. 2027 NFL draft could have a record number of QBs coming off the board in the first
Not really surprised by this I'm an OU fan, watch every game and that injury kinda f[raiders_icon]cked his season up...us fans were really stoked after the first couple of games albeit not the toughest opponents but with our D I thought we had a chance to win a playoff game or 2. I'm stoked as a Sooner fan that he's coming back.

Hope Mendoza breaks all of Carr's franchise records, Carr doesn't deserve to hold those Raider records. Padded garbage time stats.
Well he does deserve one record - most losses in franchise history.

Not sure if it was a mistake or not, but add another to the list of Mendoza nicknames, “The MANdoza”.
