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 certainly have a brand new quarterback to take action. The Raiders have the No. 1 choose, and Fernando Mendoza is the overwhelming favourite to be the primary participant off the board.
That is why Kubiak might have modified his tone on him. Simply days after being noncommittal about Mendoza, Kubiak echoed a considerably completely 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 sit up for 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 received loads of 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 does not strike as the kind of “can’t-miss/generational” prospect we have seen in recent times.
Even so, until the Raiders discover a technique to land a franchise quarterback with a commerce involving the No. 1 choose, it is exhausting to examine any situation 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 must be excited for what’s to return.
