The Raiders got themselves a winner!

^^ Fernando Mendoza appears to be the real deal! Skipping White House visit --- not because of TDS but because he's ready to get to work with his new team, the Las Vegas Raiders. Amazing young man and pretty damn mature.

I worry about him being on the Raiders

Think he may be another Trevor Lawrence

Trevor's a good, not great QB. Your team could do worse....

He has great skills stuck on a below average team

I think Mendoza may face the same problem

Sam Darnold showed what a simply capable QB can do on a good team. Some HOF QB's never won a Super Bowl.

Brady and company are turning that Raiders team around, they have been terrible at drafting and free agency but since Brady arrived that has changed, they just made some really good moves. They have a lot of work to do as the AFC West is strong and the Raiders are at the bottom.

The Raiders had better get him a great offensive line and some weapons.
At least Tom Brady is part of the ownership team. He gets it. That's the only thing that gives me hope that Mendoza won't end up with a short, ugly career.

He is definitely a class act. And he's got the talent to be great if they play their cards right.
