Mendoza’s Rookie Struggles and Potential
Description
Fernando Mendoza’s Raiders debut is sparking debate—once hailed as a championship-winning QB with 41 college TDs, he’s now facing early struggles adjusting to NFL under-center snaps and defensive pressure. Scouts like Daniel Kelly are sounding alarms, calling him overhyped and a potential bust, citing his college film and fourth-round pedigree. Yet, Mendoza’s work ethic is undeniable: he’s pushing himself after practice, asking smart questions, and showing daily progress. Head coach Kubiak is watching closely, and despite the red flags, the Raiders remain committed to his development on his rookie deal.
