The Las Vegas Raiders have a brand new man calling the pictures.
Klint Kubiak, a rising star as an offensive coordinator, will look to bring back life to an offense that averaged the fewest factors per recreation final season (14.2). He’ll most probably have a brand new quarterback to take action. The Raiders have the No. 1 decide, and Fernando Mendoza is the overwhelming favourite to be the primary participant off the board.
That is why Kubiak could have modified his tone on him. Simply days after being noncommittal about Mendoza, Kubiak echoed a considerably totally different sentiment in an interview for the Raiders’ YouTube channel.
Klint Kubiak is a fan of Fernando Mendoza
“My publicity could be very restricted,” Kubiak said. “I noticed him play the nationwide championship recreation, I noticed the interviews he’s given after these video games and the way team-oriented he’s. I look ahead to attending to know the participant higher, however clearly a extremely gifted man with a vivid future. We’ll see. We’ll see the place it finally ends up. However we’ve bought numerous work to do to get to know him earlier than that point comes.”
Mendoza is a considerably polarizing prospect. Whereas he is head and shoulders above everybody else on this class, he would not strike as the kind of “can’t-miss/generational” prospect we have seen lately.
Even so, except the Raiders discover a approach to land a franchise quarterback with a commerce involving the No. 1 decide, it is arduous to check any state of affairs the place they will not take him. It is the daybreak of a brand new period in Sin Metropolis, and even when Maxx Crosby bolts, the followers needs to be excited for what’s to come back.
