00:00clint kubiak he is going to be the las vegas raiders head coach you had given us the idea
00:04that you know this wasn't a surprise to us certainly here uh on the desk
00:08one i guess the two-porter would be does it have any impact at all on this game but the second
00:16piece of it is how excited do you think the raiders are that they landed kubiak in this
00:21coaching cycle oh i mean huge because you know every coaching cycle there's like a ben johnson
00:27or sean mcveigh now i'm not saying kubiak wasn't that high but this is the guy to develop a
00:33quarterback and it's probable that mendoza will go number one i know the raiders have to still get
00:37through the scouting process but they need a quarterback and this is the way it is ironically
00:40i ran into mendoza's agent about an hour ago kind of funny how that works out that's what happens
00:44when you're at the super bowl but look with with clint kubiak one thing he's got to be careful with
00:49and and jonathan gannon went through this now so the circumstances are a little bit different where
00:54the cardinals contacted him illegally before the super bowl you shouldn't do that
00:58gannon claims had nothing to do with i never even thought about it that's fine but clint kubiak cannot
01:03he he needs to turn his phone off because what happens is kevin is coaches who want to get on a
01:10staff will give him hey good luck man and hey remember me after the game can't be thinking that
01:16he can't be thinking that stuff on your question it's a great question can't be doing that it's
01:21he's got a job to do here and i i know that brian horrid told me this is a great story
01:26like i'd never heard this before i don't i don't i don't know if that it's out anywhere
01:30so the rams patriot super bowl when he would with uh brian won his super bowl ring
01:35so that you know you only could scout what you see on tape wade phillips put a completely new
01:42defense in for the super bowl and he's like oh boy and josh mcdaniel said okay okay hang on
01:47or it was either belichick or mcdaniel's but they regrouped they completely changed it
01:51and that could only happen when you have your total focus on your question you have to be totally
01:56focused thinking about nothing else than that it's a good question but i the betting line is four and a
02:02half the numbers for it it's legitimate i don't see it impacting to answer your question with this
02:07forward here i don't see this impacting clint kubiak at all cap can i just stick on the mendoza point
02:11of it all um sure and and because the gap is so big between him and whomever qb2 is it sets mendoza
02:20up to kind of be an easy selection but maybe we're too early in the process let me know if that's the
02:25case mendoza on his own merit how do league sources feel around the prospect i've had this discussion
02:34if we had a five or six quality deep draft first 50 picks he would go somewhere in the 20s it doesn't
02:41mean he won't be a superstar not saying that you asked me the question i've i'm already on that
02:47because being that quarterback is the most important position the national football league that's where i
02:50always start when i do my scouting intel and all that stuff it's a major drop off with with the
02:56oregon quarterback more not being in it it's a major you're absolutely right it's a major drop off it
03:01he's a good prospect he's got plenty of starts at two schools that's not the problem
03:05he's just not he doesn't have a rocket arm nice arm accurate for some timing and look it it i i can
03:13i'm not i it in fact that'll make me probably want to go to their training camp in uh in henderson
03:18nevada see kubiak work with mendoza but that's another tough for another time but yeah overall you
03:23want to know he would go in the 20s that's i'm on that yeah that that it but it doesn't mean he won't
03:29be very good and when you need a quarterback the jets learned this with with mark sanchez yeah
03:33they got to two championship games with him but they asked him not to throw the football they
03:37handed off to thomas jones and went with defense you don't want you don't ever want to have to do
03:41that with your quarterback
