Well, I think the only thing that could potentially stop this now is if Doza discerns the Priesthood. I'd be good with that too.
Finally, an offseason to look forward to!

Mendoza. People are underestimating his leadership and personality for a crap franchise like ours. He is exactly what we need to turn this around.Raider Nation wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 12:12 am Tell me this, would you rather have:
Mendoza (compares to Goff/Matt Ryan)
Or
Moore (compares to CJ Stroud) + 1, 2, or 3 extra first round picks.
The intriguing thing about Moore, is he is only 20, and has potentially more room to grow.
The way I see it, we aren’t going to win the SB next year, so I’m not worried about letting Moore grow for a year.
Now if Mendoza is considered to be the next Brady, then I wouldn’t trade for 5 extra firsts…..

1/3 of those things is all that matters in any player. The last revivalist would-be preacher we had got us a sub .500 record and 0-2 in the playoffs over the course of 9 long years.

Good video about motivations. Coming from a wing T offense. Mom dealing with MS. Lots of good stuff.Opoponax50 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 8:58 am 1/3 of those things is all that matters in any player.

Yes, this speaks to his character and why he is so motivated. Compare it to our last #1 pick who I am not sure spoke English and loved the purple drank.Raidernation1979 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:03 am Good video about motivations. Coming from a wing T offense.

I don't care if the guy is an orphan and has Slayer playing in the background while worshipping Cthulu.haji81872 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:22 am Yes, this speaks to his character and why he is so motivated. Compare it to our last #1 pick who I am not sure spoke English and loved the purple drank.

He still has games to play and the only thing that would change what I think about Mendoza would be a critical injury. But a bad game after this season would just be a bad game and they all have those. Even Montana had bad games.haji81872 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:20 am I know people are going to try and make it more interesting, but Mendoza is the easy call and all the smoke between now and then won't change a thing.

I think Mendoza is easily the best pick.Opoponax50 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:24 am I don't care if the guy is an orphan and has Slayer playing in the background while worshipping Cthulu.
Win games.
It would be even more awesome if he did blast Slayer.

Dismissing a person's character is what got us Russell. To win games you need to be a leader, have personal responsibility and integrity. Combine that with immense football skill and you have yourself something.Opoponax50 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:24 am I don't care if the guy is an orphan and has Slayer playing in the background while worshipping Cthulu.

Character matters for sure. Gotta have talent. But character is one of the traits of leadershiphaji81872 wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:31 am Dismissing a person's character is what got us Russell.

Especially from your QB and being the leader trying to turn around a terrible franchise.Attyla wrote: Mon Jan 05, 2026 9:41 am Character matters for sure. Gotta have talent. But character is one of the traits of leadership
