From the episode

Do we want to throw Fernando Mendoza out to this part of the schedule where they are going to play after they play the Jets? They play the 49ers, the Seahawks, the Broncos, and then the Browns... I think you wait until after that.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Avoid starting Mendoza in brutal stretch; wait for softer post-bye schedule.

Mark Sanchez cautions against starting rookie QB Fernando Mendoza during the Raiders' brutal upcoming stretch (49ers, Seahawks, Broncos, Browns after the Jets), recommending either a Week 7 start against the Jets to get experience or waiting until after the bye to face the Chargers, Broncos, Titans, Cardinals, and Chiefs—a softer slate. Starting him now risks exposing a rookie to a defense-challenged team in pass-heavy game scripts.
