@HLPClips This concept is 2,500 years old
It’s called Stoicism

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@Suli_51 @Oaklraiders1976 Yep.
Nearly 50 years later and hard to look at.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@Solomonthewise1 @HondoCarpenter No one's giving up quality WRs at this time.
Signing quality WRs should have been done at FA.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@Th3DarthRaider You need about 2-3 years to evaluate a draft, especially not after 4 months from the previous draft.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@Solomonthewise1 @HondoCarpenter Because this 3-14 team had many needs and one off-season couldn't fill all those needs.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@nut_history I remember watching Ryan during the 1985 All Star game, on TV.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@deeftee15 @BarrySchust This is the correct answer

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@LVGully There's only so much a GM can do in one offseason. This is a multi year rebuild. We've said it before, but it's the case now.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@LVGully I'm not evaluating Mendoza until the season is finished in early January.
It's amazing, do we think in most jobs that people shouldn't develop over time, building their skills, competencies, etc?
Agreed. No rush.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@BWilliamsonNFL You mean don't start thinking he should have a gold jacket after one pre season game? Then thinking Raiders should have passed on him in the draft after another pre season game?
lol

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@MoeMoton Dennison is a tremendous OL coach.
He will maximize the talent in that position group.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@KevG163 6 time All Pro.
He deserves induction into Canton

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@VinnyBonsignore It’s one pre season game!
People jumping to conclusions,
This shows the over saturation of coverage on the league

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@_Murf People will criticize no matter what.
Media will criticize since they rely on an audience.
Fans might criticize since they might be jealous.
Just play well.
Let that talk for you.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@Sanjit__T Who is betting against him? He hasn't played in nearly 2 years!
Are we all so quick to judge a player after 10 practices and 1 exhibition game?
Seriously?
Wait until the season is over to evaluate.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@MoeMoton People overreacting after 10 practices and 1 exhibition game.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@coachleeboyce Thank you

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@DaveKrikorian @nut_history You are correct sir.
And I'd one more, (he can sit in the parking lot): Ben Davidson. And then there's Doug Atkins...

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@LVGully @MarkAnderson_AP @SNBToday And I hope people can avoid jumping to conclusions and hyperbole after 1 preseason game with Mendoza.
"He's so good, he might be All Pro this year if he starts."
or
"He's awful, why did the Raiders draft him?"
I'm being facetious, but you know this will happen in some way.

[The Spirit of Seneca @SpiritofSeneca]

@_Murf We will see how well the WR's can perform versus the Texans defense.
