    Canes fan since the late 80's so it was an odd game for me. Wanted them to win too but not at the expense of our projected #1 pick. I thought Mendoza gutted it out with timely completions and being resilient. His stats would have been better if he wasn't being mugged and his receivers weren't being held. Indy's line was being blown off the line of scrimmage. That being said, we give this kid a good O-line and Jeanty blocking, it would bode well for our offense.

    Defenses are tougher but the refs are more inclined to protect the QB so it prepared him for the next level.

    That TD run was something special.

    I liked seeing him grind out this win. This game to me was more impressive than the Oregon game. I wanted to see how he responded to getting knocked around. His toughness spoke volumes. Getting knocked around by the lineman getting up and then running in that touchdown. That’s John Elway. He gave himself up for team. On 4th down. I like this kid. Something special about him. The Mom with MS he’s a guy who loves God. Good kid. Just the kind of kid you want leading your franchise a leader. He’s a team first guy. And last nerd I saw like this was Andrew Luck. Can’t believe he didn’t get to Stanford. But this is a franchise Quarterback.

    Draft him then draft Zacharias Branch and then just draft lineman lineman lineman lineman lineman.

    what impressed me was he went against an NFL style defensive line and looked good. Looked tough. That Miami defensive line is tough. That Miami front is tough.

    I’d tell Brady if I could you Mendoza Gronk and Bowers just spend a week together in Vegas in a lab just going over formations things you guys used and we can be looking at the next great tandem.

    look at the division now.

    Mahomes
    Nix
    Herbert
    Mendoza

    The Raiders need to hire a coach.

    Minter off the board. I said they should’ve hired him. I don’t know what they’re waiting for. They always do this so they hire some old a** coach who is over the hill.

    They should just hire Davis Webb because that would be the smart thing to do.
