Does Mendoza Remind Anyone Else of Carson Palmer?

I think Carson was a lot bigger.  I was over at Saddleback college driving range which is next to the football stadium where Carson played his game.  I don’t remember who Santa Margarita was playing.   I kept hearing his name over the PA system. So I walked over for the second half and watched this man play with boys.  Kids were actually draped over him and he still made the play.   It was ridiculous.  When he verbaled to SC I posted he would be the first USC trojan  quarterback to win the Heisman.  Still the greatest prediction in board history.   I was at SC’s first practice at USC when five star Jason Thomas took one look at him and quit. Literally walked off the practice field at UCI. Terry Bradshaw’s ball didn’t had the sound of a Palmer throw.  Neither did Fouts , who were councilors at a football camp out in the inland empire I attended in high school. Ask John Mazur if I can throw a football.

I also posted that Carson Palmer would get injured in college because he simply didn’t feel it was necessary to avoid a hit.  See Oregon.

Some of us played full contact football in our lives.  Others were semipro skateboarders who Actually posted that Caleb Williams wasn’t elusive, and USC should keep Grinch for another season.   sc

Sure thing uncle Rico.  John mazur  said you could throw that ball a quarter mile

Always amusing to hear you wax on about the fantasies of what you said and didn’t   What you were  but really weren’t  and what you fantasize about other people

Speaking of listening to that game:

As I recall, ’99 was one of the years Hacksaw Hamilton did SC radio play-by-play; and in one of the games he left at halftime, without warning, to get to a Sunday assignment, likely a Chargers broadcast.  And I want to say Tim Ryan took over the second-half duties.  Wasn’t this that game?

Hacksaw lol that’s a blast from the past.  Ol’ rhinoceros skin. It must have been because Arbogast was on some kind of time out back then. Maybe. years and mileage. 😀

In the mid-90s Larry Kahn acquired the rights to SC football and named himself the play-by-play announcer. I’m not sure if he’s the one who brought in Hacksaw or if the rights went to someone else around 97 or 98. By that time, Arbogast was in Cincinnati as the Bengals’ announcer. He returned to SC broadcasts in 2000.

Bruddah go back and read up Brady and Montana scouting reports, thus their low draft picks.  I see Mendoza with similar physical tools as them.  Like I said, I like Mendoza and he reminds more to Brady and Montana (which is good, no).  But, I do not see him a franchise type player like Carson Palmer.  I do not see Mendoza is da same shoes as Carson Palmer.  See what kind of NFL scouting reports are out there for Medonza.  Many reports are ? his NFL future.

You think Mendoza has a strong arm, really?  Those fades and back shoulder throws are touch passes and I’ve seen many times his Wr’s bailed him out with amazing catches, making Mendoza look good.  Brah, Mendoza Does Not have a strong, rocket arm like Carson.  Both QB’s are way different in so many ways…  Cheers

He reminds me of Jake Plummer

Bruddah Java, OK, yeah I can see Mendoza like a Jake Plummer.  Good call.
