So I'm for the 2014 expansion because I actually like college sports and I don't want to see those go away.

And college football is the one that supports most of these sports anyway.

I think coaching staffs will tell you, Colin, that they don't look at those things, but they 100% do.

And what I feel about Fernando Mendoza is all the things that you just said.

He's got the experience.

He's got the right head on his shoulders.

And it's not like with Kirk Cousins in the roster, they're just, you know, a quarterback away from making it to the Super Bowl.

So if you're trying to protect Fernando Mendoza away from bad scheduling or maybe getting too many losses on his record too early and maybe it crushes his confidence, I don't think that's the case.

I think Kirk Cousins is there.

If you're going through the offseason program, you get in a training camp and you're like, you know,

You know what?

Fernando's just not ready.

We're going to start Kirk.

And then if it doesn't go well with him, Fernando can come in and he can be the hero.

But I think in our experience and what we've seen, even a guy from my own draft class with Russell Wilson, when they brought in Matt Flynn in Seattle and they thought to themselves, all right, we're going to start him.

He's going to be the guy.

But Russell just outplayed him.

I think that's what you have to look at here with Fernando Mendoza and Kirk Cousins.

Yes, it's a hefty price tag to have him there being the backup with that amount of money paid to him.

But if Fernando's the guy, I believe he's the one that brings the mentality and brings the bravado and the confidence for the rest of those young guys, the Aston Gentis, the Brock Bowers, so they can grow together.
