I'll say this, if the Raiders are able to draft him, the kid will have already unified this forum. Even the most ardent realists are in favor of the pick. Not sure if I have ever witnessed that, certainly not here nor the PSD discussion forum I used to frequent.
There was far from a consensus on Purple Drank. I remember wanting Megatron.
Thread title is a play on the Fernando Valenzuela sensation in the early 1980's.

Can't be any worse than
Geno running

He has his weaknesses but pretty much every QB does. But what he does well, he does really well. And
he is a high character guy. I value that as well.
Of the QBs taken first over all in recent history, based on how they measured up before their NFL careers, he is a better than Cam Ward, Bryce Young, Kyler Murray, Jared Goff, Jameis Winston, and Bradford.
Newton, Luck, Mayfield, Burrow, Lawrence and Caleb Williams were all better. We all know that how you rank in college does not matter once you are on a pro team, but Mendoza is worthy of being picked first overall.
Absolutely. This is as important as the measurables. I would argue more important than some.
I mean how has DeShaun Watson worked out for Cleveland?
