Yeah wasn’t his best day but I’ve watched a lot of him this year and the kid can deal. He makes all the throws to all levels of the field. His measurables couldn’t possibly be any better. Doesn’t force anything. I like him. I wouldn’t be terribly mad about Ty Simpson either. Simpson is a little more mobile and is deadly accurate. Doesn’t throw picks. I’m honestly not sure who’s better but I think we need to roll the dice on one and see what happens. They are both playing top level competition and really thriving. I guess it depends on how interviews and the combine goes.

Mendoza may not be anymore then a younger Shough

Google is your friend, lol. They are a few years apart. Mendoza just turned 22 and Shough 26. 4 years is a long time to improve where Shough doesn’t have that time. You give up on people too early like you did with Jay Johnson

That’s impressive composure on the road, needing a TD, and 75 yards to go.

I watched much of his game yesterday. He threw some beautiful passes and came through when it counted. He threw a few duds and is not as mobile as I would like.


I would take Mendoza because I think he is a better bet as a legitimate NFL starter than anyone we have now.

He is the best of a very average draft class. Our luck.
