Raiders fans project Mendoza reaches top-10 QB status by 2028 despite limited rookie role.

The source reports that Raiders fans surveyed by Yahoo Sports believe Mendoza will crack the top 10 quarterback rankings by 2028, with that timeline winning the community poll. The source notes this is a fair but potentially premature timeline given the team's reported plan for limited or no rookie playing time; however, the source acknowledges Mendoza is clearly talented and capable of reaching top-10 status, and if the 2028 projection holds, the Raiders will be in strong shape long-term. The source contextualizes the challenge: the NFL quarterback tier is strong, and cracking the top 10 typically takes young quarterbacks three to four years.
