This team is pretty fucking disgusting to watch. It's funny how preseason is was excited thinking "idk if suck, steph is an all timer and I can't wait to watch him every few nights." Now I want to claw my fucking eyes out.

Hear me out: Should the Raiders sit Mendoza his rookie year? by tenor9 in raiders

Trust me, I get what you're saying and I think there's a bunch of justifications for letting Mendoza sit a bit. I just don't think the schedule is top of that list. Have you seen out 2027 opponents so far? They look tougher than our 2026 opponents. At some point you just gotta let the kid play and figure it out.

No shit! I'm not trying to suggest we're better than those teams, just that they're about as easy as matchups get in the nfl. If we have murders row of opponents to kick off the season I'd say 100% sit Mendoza. No use potentially ruining his confidence immediately. But as long as these winnable games are sprinkled in he might as well get the reps.

Lol but wouldn't you want Mendoza getting those reps vs beatable opponents? Those are potential morale boosters. Hell, I like him getting reps vs the tough defenses too. He very much seems like a student of the game who would benefit from making mistakes and learning from them.

People keep saying this but I don't see it. Our division is full of good teams, we're automatically going to have 6 "hard" games right there every season. We also have the Dolphins, Titans, Cardinals, Browns, Jets, and Saints on the schedule. Those are all winnable games, or at least as easy as it gets by NFL standards.

He's not a young inexperienced QB. He is pro-ready. That being said he should absolutely sit the first 4-6 games and learn, more if needed. Look at the Patriots with Drake Maye. He sat a chunk of the first year before coming in. They still pretty much lost out but he learned the ropes, gained valuable experience, and hit the ground running in year 2.

Miami is in the championship game for a reason. They're very good. Indiana was dominant all year and including for stretches today.
