Definitely going to continue to watch Mendoza, big at 6'5, good athlete so he can move in the pocket, however, a Miami kid, born and raised, if he continues to play like that the Dolphins will come calling.
The key in next year's draft will be ifvrhe Giants, and especially the Titans get a high enough pock to get one of the QB targets that McVay wants, assuming there will be a guy there that they will want.
Those teams have young QBs that they appear to like, so it comes down to a bidding war in terms of trade offers. With two #1's, we have a shot there even with teams like Miami drafting high.
This thread takes on greater importance because yesterday was the first time I saw a game where Stafford looked like age is catching up to him. He couldn't scramble for 2 yards, which is not a shock, but looked old that play. He missed easy throws, threw a bad INT for a vet like him, and overall just was not as effective as we expect. Orvaloski himself said on ESPN this morning, that Stafford played poorly and that was the difference.
They hopefully can find a guy that will be ready to go by 27' at the latest.
This should be Stafford’s last year. He didn’t make enough plays yesterday all the other issues aside. He’s a huge cap hit and is always banged up. His total lack of athleticism hurts us too.

Yeah, the redzone issues are partially due to having a QB that is no threat to run. Yesterday, the Rams didn't allow Hurts to hurt them that badly with his legs, but it also meant they had to keep someone near the LOS to spy him or at least tweak the D to account for him. Obviously teams never have to do that with Stafford and it just makes it tougher with everyone dropped back in coverage.
And yes, I realize having 2 back up OGs playing in that 2nd half hurt, but you have to overcome it. One more TD in the last 20 minutes of that half, wins the game.
