When you have limited reps at the college game, those transferable skills and that feel for the game at the NFL level can really be lacking.

And it may take a little bit more time to ease into your career.

But then again, we've seen the opposite.

We've seen guys with limited reps in college who have blasted off into the scene and their stratospheric talents.

So it really comes down to Fernando Mendoza's propensity for learning an offense and catching up quick.

Look, the things you can't replicate at practice are those third and long situations where the rush is real.

The things you can't replicate at practice are those collapsing pockets where you got people falling at your legs and NFL talents who are trying to earn money to pay mortgages, trying to rip that ball out of your hand.

And Kirk Cousins has been through that fire.

So I don't want to middle the line here.

I'll give you my official take, but it's not cowardly.

for them to start Kirk Cousins and give Mendoza a seat to start the season.

And it's also not going over your skis to have your number one overall draft pick start the season.

I personally think they should probably let him sit on the sideline for a couple of weeks.

Let him get a feel for the speed of the game.

ease him into this transition because you brought in kirk cousins to be a bridge quarterback a mentor quarterback anyways so you might as well maximize your value there and then you know what the future is going to be it's just a matter of when do you want to start that future track with your young quarterback

Let me quickly wrap up with the Chargers.

They're a team I've circled mostly because Mike McDaniel coming from Miami, great offensive coordinator, maybe not the greatest leader as a head coach.

He did get to the playoffs twice, Mike, so I'm not knocking you for that.

But I just wonder if this is what Herbert needs, right?

Zero playoff wins, but he keeps getting to the postseason.
