the acquire Mendoza thread

Yeah don’t understand the hate
Comparing him to Sanders is downright stupid

 

I still like Ole Miss qb
Go ahead and tell me he only played one season
He is too small
He beat good teams too
Ole Miss defense not as good as Indianas defense

 

You probably watched Ole Miss play one game now you want him on the Steelers .

 

I don't see why that is hard to fathom... It's probably because he has them scouted pretty similarly but concludes that Moore has more upside or a higher ceiling (which I would agree with). There's a lot to like about what Moore brings to the table, but just because the Oregon offense was completely overwhelmed by a far superior Indiana defense, doesn't mean he won't be a good pro. There's a lot to like about Mendoza too, but in a league where system statues are few and far between (at least the ones that are successful aren't generally top 10 guys) its not hard to see that teams could question if he's going to be good enough to be a quality starting NFL QB. If both guys go to the draft (I am assuming they will), then they will both likely be taken pretty early. We will see what happens.

I think most of the hate on Mendoza is less on whether or not he's the best QB in this draft, but if he were in a draft with a better QB class if he would be considered a top QB prospect or not... He'd be the 6th or 7th QB off the board in 2024's class. He would've been the 6th QB off the board in 2021. Probably 4th or 5th in 2020. The question is less "is this guy a better prospect than Moore?", and more of a "is this guy good enough to be considered a top 10-15 NFL draft prospect?". I think its a fair question.
