In a recent interview, Allen expressed skepticism about Mendoza's immediate readiness as a starter, referencing the pressure that comes with being a top draft pick. Allen acknowledged the team's recent struggles in selecting starting quarterbacks and emphasized the importance of the organization's support for Mendoza's development. He remains confident in the Raiders' management, particularly general manager John Spytek, to build a strong supporting cast for the new quarterback. Mendoza will need a solid offensive lineup to succeed as he steps into this pivotal role for the team.
