*whispers* he’s also a game manager this year

I don't disagree. I think some people get annoyed by that term - I get it. There are certain terms and phrases that I just can't stand.
Whatever the proper term is for a QB is does a decent job working within the offense they're given to run without much, if any, wow plays is how I would describe Mendoza. He doesn't suck. He's actually pretty good, but is nothing close to elite. If you saw the end of the Penn State game - the one Indiana almost lost (to a 6-6 Penn State team) - you know that Mendoza's WRs made a couple spectacular catches on that last drive that bailed him out. The more I think about it, the more I think the Dorsey comparisons are pretty fair. Was Dorsey a game manager? Eh, I guess that depends on your personal definition of what a game manager is.

I also am not hating on him, although I can see why some may think I am. This was an odd year for Heisman candidates. Mendoza was the QB on the undefeated Cinderella team this year. He seems like a genuinely nice person too. I wish him well. I hope he succeeds in the NFL; I just don't think he will.
