Couldn't be more different quarterbacks we have now at first overall.

And I think we have a much, much better plan, right?

I mean, Jamarcus Russell's rookie year was ruined because he held out for a contract when rookies could still do that.

But for now, like there's a TED talk essentially that's about 10 minutes long, circling the internet.

If you look for it, deep for it, that where Tom Brady kind of explains why developing developing

Tom Brady, by the way, that Tom Brady, the the best quarterback ever.

He explains why developing quarterbacks now is so bad because they rush them in with high expectations and dumb down the offense because coaches are trying to win now.

Because guess what happens when you're drafted number one overall?

You're on the worst fucking team in the NFL with coaches like Matt Iberflus or Callahan or Urban Meyer that might just completely shit away your initial season, right?

With the Raiders, they're not even in that situation with Kubiak, kind of betting on him as this long-term offensive play caller that should be with Kubiak or with Fernando for the rest of his career.

So the fact that they're sitting him on the shelf and tempering expectations and people are clawing at him, starting sooner and blah, blah, blah, that's a

Better situation than trying to rush him in and make sure that everyone can start having takeaways on Fernando Mendoza as soon as week one, because there's no rush to winning in 2026.
