When you guys watched Mendoza, did you really think "Oh, yeah, this guy should be the #1 overall pick in the draft!!!!"

[gacaneaddict]

Good player, but Cam Ward is so much better by comparison.

 

[RozayCane]

Yes he should.. especially this year.

I just think our defense deserves a whole lot of credit. He hasn’t seen this all year.

I’ll say that run was all on him. He willed himself to that TD.

 

[ddann]

I don't think so. If he had trouble with Bain and Mesidor, wait till he gets to the NFL where there is a Bain and Mesidor on every team, with a secondary to back them up.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[cindysam]

Nope and I still don't think he's a number 1 pick

 

[TexasCane90]

No, just like all year his receivers make those contested catches every game, he just has to to throw the ball close. How the **** he wasn’t tackled on his td run is beyond me, that ****ed me off the most.

Those two catches by Becker or whoever the **** it was… was just incredible grabs. Legit throw it short and try and wedge it in

 

[RBradleigh]

Mendoza got heart

 

[TerragonSix]

Good player, but Cam Ward is so much better by comparison.

Pretty much. Cam seemed more accurate, better wheels, better physical tools. What would've Cam Ward had done with this offense this year?

 

[Bmacthe1]

Not at all and noticed it a lot throughout the game. Very smart, tough QB and no digs at him due to the result of the game but just seemed like it was a perfect college scheme and team for him. Has heart and is very tough but that doesn’t just equal stud in the NFL. Didn’t rlly impressive me with his skill but rather his traits. Congrats to him on all his success

 

[Donny Donowitz]

Daniel Jones

 

[OldhamA]

I didn't. I mean, he's gutsy, but I thought he was good-ish and gutsy. I would be ****ED if my team wasted a #1 overall pick on him. Not trying to be sour grapes and congrats to him on his natty, but meh. He didn't seem elite to me.

He's going to get an NFL GM fired.

No idea how he won the Heisman - fraudulent.

 

[OldhamA]

Daniel Jones

If Daniel Jones lost all his athleticism.

 

[Burricane]

I hope his whole family has to deal with all their milk being spoiled. I hope he stubs his toe every morning he wakes up. I hope his nieces and nephews leave legos all over the floor and he repeatedly steps on them.

**** the golden boy

 

[Canedude08]

Of course not, I've said it once and I'll say it again: He's going to get an NFL GM FIRED. You can't spam back shoulder fades in the big leagues. You can't rely on RPOs in the NFL, and if you lack the arm talent to stretch the field vertically, it's an issue. Mendoza is the perfect example of "We need a QB, we have to take someone, he sounds like the kind of guy that should be the guy, take him".

College QB play is a farce, there's no way that 10-15 years ago, a guy like Mendoza even sniffs the first round. The proliferation of these spammy offenses, thanks to a rules environment that makes them possible, creates QBs that have absolutely no ability to do anything that the NFL requires.

 

[ADELPHI]

He’s a tough kid. Lots of heart but I’d be shocked if he evolved into a franchise QB for any NFL team. Cignetti has a system and if he keeps finding the right parts every year, IU will be a contender for many more years

 

[CaneandAbel]

From a talent perspective no I don't see #1 but he's shown that if you can put a system around him he can be good.

 

[dycane]

All I know is that the kid is tough as nails and doesn’t turn the ball over. Whether or not he’ll be a good pro is hard to tell, but not the type of person I would doubt.

 

[klineski96]

I think he's a dork and his interviews are so awkward.

He's a really good college player. I'll be shocked if he turns into a really good NFL player.

 

[Dghustla]

Honestly it sucks we lost becuase that is the most overhyped team I’ve ever seen.

That team does not hold a candle to great teams of the past and would get boat raced.

Specially Mendoza he’s not good. They run RPo and throw up back shoulder prayers.

Most players yard per game down at the next level from previous.

They are drafting a kid that really isn’t good at dropping back and reading the field. Has virtually no escapability and an average arm.

 

[OldhamA]

All I know is that the kid is tough as nails and doesn’t turn the ball over. Whether or not he’ll be a good pro is hard to tell, but not the type of person I would doubt.

Cos we dropped two INTs.

 

[Stingarov]

Only shot he has at the next level is to lose his virginity before training camp. Absent that he has no chance.

Welp hes **** out of luck lol
