When Should the Raiders Turn to Fernando Mendoza?
from The Morning Tailgate
Vinny and Clay kick off the show by comparing the Raiders' quarterback situation to the Giants' decision to replace Kurt Warner with rookie Eli Manning in 2004, debating whether gaining valuable experience now could pay dividends in the future. The guys then open the phone lines as Raider Nation weighs in on when Mendoza should take over. In Hour 2, Jesse Merrick of Silver & Black Sports Network joins the show to discuss Mendoza's ceiling, the impact he could have once he sees the field, and the position groups he'll be watching most closely as training camp approaches. In Hour 3, ESPN Raiders reporter Ryan McFadden previews the biggest camp storylines before Yahoo Sports' Jason Fitz explains why patience may be the best approach with Mendoza and discusses the pressure on Ashton Jeanty and Tyler Linderbaum to help the Raiders take a step forward next season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
