Summary
ESPNs Adam Schefter suggests the Raiders should delay starting rookie QB Fernando Mendoza until December, citing a challenging November schedule. Both Schefter and co-host Dan Stanczyk agree that protecting Mendozas development means gradually integrating him into the league, rather than throwing him into the fire early on. However, if Mendoza impresses in training camp and preseason, some argue he should start from day one. If not, the team might consider waiting until after their Week Thirteen bye to give him a home-heavy stretch to begin his NFL career.
