I think Mendoza sits for the year baring injury to Cousins.
Nobody fully understands the system because this group of players and group of coaches have never played ONE snap together as a team.

The math says that's 100% correct.

Better for Mendoza to enter when
everyone knows the system. Y2

Add another free agency period, Draft, OTAs, camp and pre-season.

One thing sings to this is both Brady AND Kubiak said, in a perfect world, a rookie QB should sit year one.
This says more than anything imo.

What makes it the perfect scenario/world is if they say it is. Who's going to argue with them?
I don't care at all if Cousins starts the season for the Raiders. I will be extremely disappointed if Cousins plays the full season. Mendoza needs a lot of real game reps this year to be ready for 2027. IMO the only way Cousins should play the full season is if he and the team are playing really well and winning a lot of games - which is a very unlikely scenario in my view.

He and I go back a few years in a few forums for better or worse but it has not been uncommon he takes a month or two off from the boards before the opener. Hopefully all is well and this is the case.

Of course tomorrow is never promised for any of us so who knows?

I haven't been this excited to start a season for a long time.
Last Head Coach I was this excited about was Gruden the 1st time around. That was 25 years ago. Didn't like bringing him back and was never hyped about any of the others since then.
Last QB I was hyped about was Carr after his rookie preseason. That only lasted a few years.
Great to be Hyped about the Coach and QB at the same time.

Hopefully, in a few short years from now, you'll look upon that jersey as the best present you ever got.

Yup...most of the talk has been about our offense, but I'm also hoping our D will return once again to smacking the hell out of opposing players and making them flinch and being the kind of D that other teams don't look forward to facing.

Agreed. If the team is playing well and in the hunt I don’t see a change being made.

The last time the Raiders had a top 10 D was 2002...24 Longggg years ago under non other than Chuck Bresnahan lol I Don't see this year being much better than last year to be honest.

I'm well aware of that, and I don't expect everyone to be optimistic.
