From the episode

I think some people are simply scared on Fernando Mendoza because of the rhetoric out of Las Vegas right now... My opinion is this just, this is how it always goes with highly drafted rookie quarterbacks... Russell Wilson's going to start all year. Until the Giants realized he's dust and they got Jackson Dart in there... Kirk Cousins, by the way, who was benched for Penix with the Falcons.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Levitan sees Mendoza's ADP fall as overreaction; rookie QB benching talk is typical.

Adam Levitan believes Fernando Mendoza's ADP fall (down 2.8 spots to 176 overall) is overblown; the market is spooked by Las Vegas rhetoric about Kirk Cousins starting week one, but Levitan argues this is typical for highly drafted rookie QBs—citing Russell Wilson, Jackson Dart, Tyler Shuck, Drake May, and Michael Penix as examples of rookie QBs who were supposed to sit but eventually played, suggesting Mendoza will get his chance despite current team messaging.
