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.

I'd rather see those guys go out there and play and start to build those bonds than to protect Fernando if he's ready to roll.

For veteran quarterbacks who are established, it's overrated.

I totally agree with Fernando Mendoza skipping the White House and showing up because he's trying to show his teammates that it's not about what I did in the past.

It's about what I'm going to do in the future.

That just checks the box for you.

But I think this issue with Lamar Jackson is a complete non-issue.

Like you just brought it up.

Herbert's not at camp.

I remember Brady wasn't at camp and and Rogers wasn't at camp.

And you could say, yes, 100 percent justified.

Brady did it after he won Super Bowls.

Rogers did it after he won Super Bowls.

But Lamar Jackson's a two time MVP.

He's a proven player.

They know what they're going to get from him.

And he's been there for the majority of the offseason workouts.

So, you know, we're not talking about Marlon Humphrey not being there.
