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

This guy is a great college football youtuber. He did this video almost 1 year ago if you want to hear talk about how Mendoza was viewed after finishing at Cal. The video aged like a fine wine.

I'll take the comparison to Andrew Luck.

Which will never make sense to me. Never seen anything like it before, all this concern for a team at the top of the draft picking a qb.

They are all Tripping and exhibiting the characteristics of "They Hate Us Cause they Ain't Us" phenomenon, at least with the # 1 pick hey "National Fraud League" the "jig" is up..

His high school tape is all highlights I understand, but he looks pretty darn good to me.

I guarantee you, if Kubiak signs, there is an understanding that Mendoza is our pick no matter what. You do not go from the Seahawks to the Raiders without that understanding.

I think I'm doing this right. But Geno?

Nothing will make Brady and Spytek trade away that pick. If you don't have a franchise QB but have a shot at one that could become one, you take the shot. You can always land quality offensive linemen or playmakers in free agency or the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Yep, Geno got us to Mendoza, and for that I am eternally grateful. He actually knows the drill. He deleted any mention of the Raiders on his social media right after Carroll was fired. I wish we could delete any mention of him as well. But this is, after all, the Thunder Dome so while a harsh business, it is still a business.
