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

I think you gotta go get Sarratt, I bet a small trade up from top of 3rd to back half of 2nd round does it. It would help Mendo with the transition.


If they don’t I hope we sign Alec Pierce.

-27 of his 33 TDs came against Kennesaw St,
Indiana St, Illinois, Michigan St, UCLA, Wisconsin, and Purdue.
- The other 6 TDs were against lowa, Oregon, Penn St, Maryland, and Ohio St. He combined for 6 TDs and 5 interceptions in these games.

Disclosure, I copied the above off of something I read, and did not verify…. If this is true, I’m really not on the FM train at the moment. Another disclosure, I haven’t watched a single play of college ball this year….

Mandoza has 8 TDs, 0 ints, with only 5 incompletions in last 2 games vs Bama and Oregon. You on the FM train yet?

He could have 16TDs and it wouldn't matter to some of these guys.

I understand the hype around Moore. Dude throws a beautiful ball that is on the money. He’s a solid QB and I would not be upset if he come here.

Mendoza is just as accurate. Moreover, he knows where to send the rock before the snap. It’s like he knows what the defense is going to do. In a recent interview with some coaches he talked about looking at DB legs, footing and hips. His attention to detail is what is really exciting. This is his real super power. He’s going to take lumps in his first year learning the NFL game, but there is no doubt he is going to acclimate quickly.

Mendoza is the only real choice. We need a QB and he’s ready to play day one.

How anyone could watch him play and hear about his character and still have doubts is beyond comprehension.

East coast talking heads losing their minds about the prospect of Mendoza ending up in Las Vegas. How can they watch this playoff series and not think that he’s worth the first pick.

Seems a bit Jason Williams like in this narrative about him

Get ready for Fernandomania to hit the Vegas strip. Nah!! I don't think the city cares one way or t'other. But we Raiders fans...

Thats the cool thing about being the worst team, we get all the glory during draft week like we won a superbowl. The 2nd picking team gets treated like they lost the superbowl.

Only caught the YouTube highlights but Mendoza looks the real deal right? Definitely more elusive than I imagined given the some of the comments I’ve been reading

Moore probably needs another year in college or if he does come out then at very least, a year behind the scenes on a team

Man I hope the Raiders don’t somehow screw this up. Mendoza looks like the real deal.

I don't think even the Raiders could screw this up................... could they?
