May the football godz look kindly down upon the feeble and inept.

Mendoza hands down. Moore is a 20 year old Sophomore. It could take a few seasons to bring him up to NFL level.

I'm not counting on anything till the KC game is over.

Mendoza for me. You watch him play and come out with comps to Goff, Cousins, Prescott, Tannerhill, Flaco and Foles. He might be screaming next Josh Allen or Mahomes. But has so many ingredients of QBs that we’ve seen win countless games, play off games, receive pro bowls and even won a SB…

6ft5 225, fictional mobility, good arm, accuracy, leadership, intelligence, toughness and something that’s going to drive Brady to be in love with him, complete nerd for football.


I like Moore but, he’s a game manager QB, would be perfect for a Shanahan style system. But a game manger that’s barely played college football isn’t something I love. If we can lose to the Chiefs and get the number 1 pick. He should go back to college. If we win sure come out

Don’t know if they’re just regurgitating the same line after hearing some one say it or it really looks that way. Moore is the the better athlete and can make things happen with his feet while Mendoza has more processing speed.

Considering how terrible we’ve drafted over the years, maybe going for the high floor guy is the way to go. Seeing Mendoza play against a loaded Alabama D is going to be must watch TV

It's exactly what happens. Then you have randos post it all over message boards like they know what they're talking about. It becomes one huge echo chamber

Off my soap box, give me Malik Willis and a trade down

Ok....seriously I'd take Mendoza

We need a QB that can start Day 1. Fernando for me.

I’ll wait until the playoffs are over before I vote.

I think in today’s game, your qb needs to be mobile and Mendoza doesn’t look twitchy enough for me.

I lean Mendoza, but just get 1 so we can choose who we actually want rather than who is left.

1. Mendoza
2a. Moore
2b. Simpson

Caveat: That misbegotten sentient hemorrhoid is still the owner, and as long as he spends more than a second believing he understands football, we should never expect anything good to happen for the Raiders.

When is that Alabama game?

Mendoza for me. Moore isn't a bad consolation prize though.

Thursday should be interesting. I'm leaning Mendoza. Some of the throws he's capable of making I think display a level of arm talent that is undeniable at the NFL level.



I hate to say the name of the forbidden one, but Derek Carr had a 10+ year career as an above average starter thanks to throws like that. I mostly bring him up because I do think it shows how even flawed players like Carr can be successful with that kind of skillset. I think he's pretty much the antithesis of Carr between the ears, though. Strong leader, confident in the pocket. Probably one of the higher floors I've seen from a rookie in the last few years.

You just keep topping yourself with the descriptions of the doofus; well done

I saw a comparison today that made me laugh & kind of works for me

Mendoza was compared to Justin Herbert & seen as the High Floor/Low Ceiling guy with the prototypical QB build

Moore was compared to Tua coming out as the Low Floor/ High Ceiling guy who is the modern mobile type QB

This argument remind me of that 2020 draft apart from the fact there is no Joe Burrow type in front of them

I’m going to go with Mendoza as the guy i want as i feel having a calm steady hand like a Matt Stafford at QB would be better for this franchise for the next decade if it works out

I'd like to know who will be coaching the new QB

Maybe some Tom Brady on the side?

I'm leaning toward Mendoza. If I'm being honest: I'll take either one we can get. It isn't like either will be as bad as what we've had the last two years.
