Mendoza a disaster? You've never seen him play. He has a geat arm and accurate. Jackson looks like he might be turnover prone. But both are good QB's. I am a retired college coach and know a little about how to judge talent.

We’ll see. Forgive my skepticm, Coach, but they brought in an ultra-athletic kid from the CFP runner-up, AND a kid with starting experience in the ACC, yet a 3* pocket passer with no elite traits or other major scholarship offers out of HS could get the nod? Wilcox has not earned the benefit of the doubt on O, so it’s a concern.

From what I saw of him last year in practice, Mendoza’s arm strength is average, and he lacks athleticism. If he’s accurate, that’s great…Davis Webb in Spav’s system was big and not much of a mover and was fine. But in today’s college football, pocket passer’s need to have elite traits to succeed - not sure Mendoza does. The OL is gonna have to protect much better. Will keep an open mind based on your tout, but I was really hoping the dual threat Sammy Jax would seize the job, because based on the speed of the DL, if you’re OL isn’t dominant, it really helps to have mobility at the QB position. Unfortunately, Sammy Jax’s turnover issues are real.

A Rodgers had no major scholarships offered. In fact, none. No elite traits either. Jujst JUCO exzperience from a rural JC. He did OK, didn't he. We'll see what happens.

Well, sure…if Mendoza becomes an all-time Top 10 NFL QB, I’ll absolutely eat some crow.
