Could Fernando Mendoza be a bust

The Sports Junkies of 106.7 The Fan debated whether Fernando Mendoza could be a bust in the NFL.

John “Cakes” Auville believes the Las Vegas Raiders are still rebuilding and that Mendoza is unlikely to have a strong rookie season.He suggests that Mendoza should start Week 1 to gain experience rather than sit behind veteran Kirk Cousins for several weeks together. John-Paul “JP” Flaim agrees with Cakes, stating that young quarterbacks develop best by playing. He cited Cam Ward as an example. But he thinks a new coaching staff may want Kirk Cousins to take the lead, so the team has a better chance of winning.Jason “Bish” Bishop noted that Mendoza would face a difficult AFC West schedule, including games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers, and Denver Broncos. He said Cousins could remain the starter for the first Weeks 6-8 of the 2026 season. Cakes predicts the Raiders would finish last in the AFC West unless the Chiefs are severely affected by Patrick Mahomes’ long absence due to a 2025 season-ending injury.Eric “EB” Bickel projects Mendoza’s ceiling similar to Jared Goff and his floor around
