## Resource

Fernando Mendoza could be starting the season as Las Vegas’ third-string QB — a surprise move that’s sparking debate. While some see it as a “right of passage,” others worry his learning curve might be steeper than expected. The Raiders are playing the long game, opting to ease him in rather than rush him, even if he’s not the primary backup. Comparisons to Jared Goff’s rookie year hint at a cautious strategy: keeping Mendoza as QB3 avoids the risk of benching him early if he’s thrust into action. It’s not what fans want to hear, but it might be the smartest move for his development — especially with a tough schedule ahead.
