This is division 1 football, nobody deserves any starting spot and no staff would ever think that way. Every team in the country tries to upgrade every position on the team every year. Mendoza showed flashes but if there is a QB who the staff thinks can win more games, it’s their obligation to recruit that player and let them compete for the starting spot.
Alabama benched Jalen Hurts in the national championship game (his second straight as a starter). If our coaches think Mendoza has done enough to not have his starting spot questioned they need to be immediately fired and never coach at any level again.
I’m glad CAL has a backup but Mendoza is a good quarterback and deserves to be number one.

It’s harsh but that’s how it works.
Finley is suiting up this Friday as #2. Brummei is #3. Jackson is not, but he is injured.
