Fernando Mendoza

The boards collectively decided Mendoza sucks at some point for some reason. He does not. He's no Cam but no one we could bring in is. If your barometer for bringing in a better option than Emory = as good as Cam or better you're going to be disappointed.


CIS being so against him makes me think he’ll actually have a good year.

Mendoza has played two years and has an entire year of experience playing in the ACC. Put this guy behind our O-line with an ****nal of offensive weapons and he would thrive. We win 9-10 games with this kid as the floor imo. What is the argument here? Beating a down Clemson team is not the accomplishment that you think it is. As much as I love Cam, an above average QB is likely all we need and may even create more team cohesion as it would call for an all hands on deck approach.

I don’t know about a 9 win floor. But he definitely ups the quality of the QB room and if he’s the best we can get we need to get him. That said, I also wouldn’t be shocked if Emory beats him out in a battle, assuming Emory doesn’t transfer out the moment we take a QB from the portal.
 
Mendoza is differently not a statue guy can move pretty well, I’m all for somebody who takes care of the football and can make the throws..turn on the tape and watch him
I gotta say, I was skeptical at first, but Dmoney made some solid points. Fernando Mendoza is already one of the top QBs in the ACC. He’s got the mobility in the pocket and the arm to make all the throws. After going back and looking at his YouTube tape, I could get on board with this

I believe we get him which means we’ll need another one if Emory leaves

he wiii actually pull it more than cam kinda like the GT qb
 
If Mendoza is going cost us >1mill a year, pass on him. That money can be better spent to upgrade the team at DE, WR, TE and LB.

Bring in a qb to provide added competition for Emory, Judd and Nickle. Simple.

I don’t know how to verbalize it but I agree with the last sentence. We will not be able to replace Cam. But having a different style of offense with just a slightly above average QB may prove to have some benefits. The pace of the game sometimes seemed to work against us, teams going for it on fourth down to keep Cam on the sidelines, etc.

While QB is ultra important, fixing up this D is priority IMO.
