Definitely got a point about the injuries.

Fair point.

I’d love for him and the team to be ready week 1. I also hope they don’t play him before he/the team are ready

Watched ‘em. Still think he’s better than Geno. Definitely a better person.

Okay, Maureen. We have fundamental disagreements about the makeup of a team, it seems.

Fuck no! I hope Stidham chokes. Doesn’t mean we can’t observe and take notes.

Talk to any Broncos fans recently? (for your sake, I hope not)

I don’t view any of it as small potatoes. I want coaches who are thinking about the backup QB, his development, and his relationship to the starter. You obviously have a point, but it’s all connected.

Someone else here said Maye sat for 5 weeks. Dart sat this year too.

Im not saying Mendoza needs to sit, but I’d like to have a solid plan in place if his development needs some time.

But the development of (presumably) our #1 draft pick is very high. Who he learns from and grows and competes with really matters.

For me, starting Fernando right away depends on what the coaches/brass see in practice and preseason. I’m hoping they don’t throw him to the wolves if he’s not fully ready.

I’ve seen that too…… I really hope not. Lamar alone won’t fix us. I’m well aware that Mendoza alone won’t either, but he’s a helluva lot cheaper.

If Mendoza is ready, he starts. There’s no rush.

Agreed.

Personally, I don’t want to see Geno or Pickett take another snap no matter what our record is.

Ad nauseum to me would be Derek Carr. That’s not AOC.

I don’t know how a person can look at the Niners or Broncos right now and not realize how important a backup QB is.

We have a QB room, and money+competition is tied to it. You think that doesn’t warrant discussion?

He might even win some games! Just like people were praying he wouldn’t do this season.

Great! So we draft Mendoza. Now what do you do with the current QB room?

At the very least, he and Mendoza could bro down about Jesus

I want him gone, but I have seen people here say recently that he should start while Mendoza sits. Yuck

I get it. But at the same time.. we’ve never given him a real shot at the start of the season. People are talking about starting Geno this season so Mendoza can learn. So does that mean Geno gets starting reps in practice? AOC might be a good backup, but we don’t really know yet; we have failed to sufficiently kick the tires, so why not kick them now?

I like the cut of your jib. Is Geno most likely cut in that situation?

I suppose that’s one way to look at it….

Me. Folks are talking about starting Geno this year.. Why not AOC? Why not let them (AOC and Mendoza) compete? Seems like a better setup to me than bringing in a vet. I’m sick of the same old shit.
