From the episode

Mendoza is going to play at some point. Now what now does Mendoza go as easily to Bowers? I don't, I don't hate that. Like cousins loves the tight end. So cuz I'm going to throw to him plenty. Kubiak's going to make him throw to the tight end... I think I'm gonna throw him the football.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Mendoza's eventual arrival may not hurt Bowers; rookie QBs lock onto one guy.

The source notes a potential downside: when Fernando Mendoza eventually takes over at quarterback for Kirk Cousins, there is uncertainty about whether Mendoza will target Bowers as frequently. However, the source mitigates this concern by noting that Cousins loves throwing to tight ends and Kubiak will force Mendoza to target the tight end position; additionally, rookie quarterbacks often lock onto one receiver, and Bowers is the clear target. The source also notes both Cousins and Mendoza 'feel like nerds' and should get along, and Mendoza's 'happy feet' from the preseason may actually help Bowers.
